I live on one of the Fronds with my wife and doggos, we're early 30s, I own a couple of companies, I'm a fund manager, and entrepreneur into other fields.

I'm leaving Dubai permanently soon and I need some advice regarding my du Home Wireless Wi-Fi. The account is in my name and linked to my Emirates ID.

I've become friends with a night front desk employee at my apartment building in Dubai. He's being terminated for accepting a 20dhs tip from a guest, which I think is unfair.

I've agreed on a rent for a property, but I'm having trouble getting Ejari because the Dubai Land Department has blocked it due to an unpaid service charge. My landlord wants me to pay the service charge and deduct it from my rent, which will be paid later. Is this a red flag and does it show that the landlord will not be a good landlord?

I've been using the DEWA app to track my electricity and water consumption, but lately, I've noticed that it only shows the monthly consumption. I'm not sure if they've updated the app or if there's a problem with my account. I've tried logging out and back in, but the issue persists.

I felt really angry because it seems like a waste of space for a bike parking there.
