This gets my goat.

Over the weekend I heard someone trying my door. Not with a key, just the door handle a few times. I quickly went to see who it was only to find 4 men who said they must have got the wrong apartment and were coming to view apartment number ....
Why are some agents just so lazy? They advertise on Dubizzle with an old advert and answer a phone call. The pictures they usually put up are usually very old pictures too.
But leaving a door unlocked to an apartment and not even escorting prospective tenants to an apartment is just not on. Money for old rope as they say.
Forgive me if I offend any good proactive landlords on here, but you are in the minority.
Landlords here should pay the agent. Why should the tenant when they are the ones that do all the donkey work?
:angry:

Four men trying your door, then claim viewing an appartment, AND they are mistaken? I might be wrong, but I don't think they were tenants, and they could be burglars or anything of that sort. This trick had been used back in 2002 till 2005 in the neighbouring communities near Sharjah, I was living there 2 men did try this trick while I was alone, they kept trying the door and luckily it was looked, looked through the "magic eye" in the door and seen them trying the next door. Phoned the security downstairs and he was useless and later he said they were looking for renting an appartment there!!!! Stay safe
