FDC Fines 23 Cases Out of 92 Filed for Violating Housing Unit Rules

Fahi dhiriulhun Corporation (FDC) has fined 23 of the 92 cases filed in violation of the rules and regulations related to its housing units, the corporation said in a statement issued yesterday. The 92 cases are those recorded up to the 5th of this month. Among the filed cases, the highest number are cases of transferring units without permission. While 44 such cases have been noted, fines were imposed in connection with 14 of them, and a warning notice was sent in one case. Another 29 such cases are still being looked into by FDC. The next highest are cases of renting out units without permission. Out of 18 such cases, fines were imposed in 7 cases, and warning notices were given in 2 cases. Nine cases are still being looked into. FDC also noted 16 cases of causing damage to public areas and 10 cases of not complying with notices. In four cases of violating regulations in waste disposal, two parties were fined, and FDC is looking into the remaining two cases. On rent payments, statistics for FDC units show that as of 4 November, 3,432 units are paying rent regularly. Previous statistics show that 3,362 units were paying rent regularly, an improvement of 12.2 percent. The number of units not paying rent regularly has therefore decreased from 564 to 495. An agreement has been made between the company and those who received flats before the handover of the 4,000 government housing units rented through FDC, and paying rent regularly is included in that agreement. Last month, in a case of violating that agreement and not paying rent, the agreements of two flats were cancelled and the company instructed that the premises be vacated.
