It needs 49 thousand dirhams

Abu Hoda is unable to pay the rent arrears

(Abu Huda - a Syrian) is unable to pay 49,000 dirhams of rent arrears for the house in which he lives with his family members, after the owner of the house filed a lawsuit against him, asking him to pay the amount.

(Abu Huda) appeals to good people and merciful hearts to extend a helping hand to him and help him pay the required amount, expressing his concern about the fate that awaits his family members after the owner of the building resorted to the law to obtain his right.

Abu Huda told "Emirates Today": "I have been working in the country since 2008 in government and private sectors in the various emirates of the country, and my financial and moral condition was easy, and during the past years I was able to achieve family balance and stability for all family members by providing housing, food and education."

The father continued: “I was working in a private company (contracting and construction) with a salary of 5,000 dirhams, in addition to additional work in the evening shift that helps me meet the obligations of my family members, but the situation deteriorated last year, as my financial condition worsened and I became unable to pay the accumulated rental arrears. It is my responsibility, after the company I work for reduced the salaries of all its employees to reach 3000 dirhams.”

He added: "After my financial situation declined, my monthly salary did not cover all the obligations of family members, as I spend from my monthly salary on the costs of my daughter's medications, who suffers from thalassemia, and my monthly medications, as I suffer from chronic diseases (diabetes and high blood pressure), and I stopped my children from continuing their education." The school year last year, due to the poor financial situation that he was ordered to.”

He continued, "I am currently at risk of imprisonment at any time, as the owner of the house has filed a lawsuit asking me to pay the rental arrears and pay the full amount, but the problem is that my financial circumstances prevent me from securing the amount."

He explained that he searched for a new job or additional work, but he was unsuccessful in that, and he resorted to several parties to help him solve his problem, but to no avail, and he does not know how to get out of this impasse.

• "Abu Hoda" suffers from low financial capabilities after the reduction of his salary.
