Who's responsibility is to connect/disconnect the utilities?

Article Summary: Landlords are responsible for connecting and disconnecting utilities for their rental properties, but some services may require a subscription.

Who's responsibility is to connect/disconnect the utilities?

By default, it is expected that all properties have already connected utilities. However, if this is not the case, we will take the necessary steps to activate them in order to start renting your property.

It is important to note that certain services, such as DU or Etisalat (home internet with cable TV channels), may require a subscription of 12 or 24 months in order to be activated. This subscription may also help to save on monthly fees for you.

When it comes to disconnection, it is the Landlord's responsibility to handle this by default. This means that the Landlord is responsible for terminating any utility services when a tenant moves out.
