The community manager must repair common property and a homeowner must repair their unit, whether the damage was accidental or negligent. If someone else damages your property, then like any damages claim, you may take action to recover the cost of repairs from that person. In the event the common property is damaged, the person responsible will be charged for the rectification if the person is identified.

The unit owner or occupier is responsible for items inside their unit. They may be able to claim on their contents insurance policy. As per the community rules, “Carports shall not be used for storage of any goods and/or materials therein”.

Yes, your tenant must apply for a move-in permit prior to moving in as our community has an established move-in/out policy. The objectives of this policy are to ensure:
• Current contact information for all occupants is kept up to date.
• We have the necessary information to assist residents with special requirements, in cases of emergency evacuation.
• To ensure that any damage to the common areas is recorded and dealt with promptly.
• A smooth move into/out of the community for homeowners/tenants.
If moving into/out of the community, you must obtain a move-in permit or move-out permit, at least one business day before the scheduled move. Click here to apply for the move-in permit.

A move-in permit (MIP) is required to move into the Emaar South community and access will be denied without it. Click here to apply for the move-in permit.

You may keep pets in your unit but you must comply with the community rules, in addition to Dubai Municipality guidelines. All pets – cats and dogs, must be microchipped and vaccinated annually in accordance with Dubai Municipality regulations and we strongly encourage you to spay/neuter your pet to prevent breeding.
We also recommend all pets wear collars with identification tags to help reunite lost pets with their owners in a timely manner. Refer to the pet etiquette fact sheet for more information.

Not only will you make more work for our community housekeeping team, but you will also anger other residents, especially if they have the misfortune of stepping in any mess left behind by your pet. Owners whose pets are found leaving pet waste in public areas may be issued a notice of violation and fines – even if they are not the one walking the dog.
Keeping your pet on its leash and remembering to bring a plastic bag every time you walk can be one of the best ways to keep your community clean and hygienic. Please be sure to discuss the community rules with your pet exerciser and check that they understand and follow them every time.

You are not permitted to keep any animals in your home that are not deemed ‘household pets’. Examples of these are poultry, cows, goats, sheep, horses, swine, or wild animals. Please refer to the community rules, for more information or contact Dubai Municipality on 800 900 for the list of pets that are allowed in residential communities.

Pets must be kept on a leash whenever in the common areas of the community. Please be conscious of others and respect that some residents may be afraid of animals, therefore, take care while walking your pet.

If the cats near your property are not ear-tipped (both ears are pointed) and they do not appear to be pets, please contact ECM on 800 EMAAR (36227) and we will try to assist. Most of the strays in the community have been bred from abandoned pets and we have selected trap-neuter-return (TNR) as the most appropriate method to control the cat population.
TNR is recommended by Dubai Municipality and endorsed by the WSPCA and ASPCA as the most effective way to contain and control stray/feral cat populations. The good news is that spayed/neutered cats will be much quieter – and will not mate, therefore there will be no fighting, howling, kittens, or smelly territory marking from the males – so disturbances to residents should be greatly reduced.

Cats are territorial, so returning sterilized cats to their original location means they will establish a healthy, non-breeding colony in the area. This greatly reduces the chance that other cats will move into the area – if all cats were removed, then potentially unhealthy, unsterilized cats would enter, meaning the trapping campaign would have the begin all over from the start, creating a cycle. It has also been noted that cats overbreed to compensate for the lost population so the same issue would recur.

You may contact community security on 056 188 9664, 24 hours a day, or involve the local authorities for further escalation – call Dubai Police on 999.

Temperate weather leads to heightened mosquito activity during November and December as well as March and April due to climatic conditions. Most often mosquito infestations are traced to stagnant water inside the private property such as swimming pools, water features, fountains, or puddles from broken irrigation systems that have not been maintained.

Individual villa owners are encouraged to carry out frequent inspections within their property and appoint a private pest control company to conduct routine maintenance to prevent any pest infestations, which could affect the community. Refer to the pest control fact sheet for more information.
