For mainland buildings, fines for rule violations are determined in accordance with Circular No. 11 of 2023 issued by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA). These fines are categorized into three levels—low, medium, and high—based on the severity of the violation. The management entity must issue fines through the Mollak System and follow RERA’s approved violation guidelines. The fines are considered payable once imposed and are added to the owner’s account, with the collected funds being used as additional income for the jointly owned property. However, for properties located in the DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre), fines are imposed as per the governing documents of the community. These documents outline the specific penalties for different types of violations, ensuring that they align with the rules and regulations set by the DIFC authority.

Common community rule violations typically include issues such as unauthorized modifications to property, improper waste disposal, parking in non-designated areas, noise disturbances, and failure to follow pet regulations.

Strata Global works to address these issues promptly to maintain a well-organized and harmonious living environment for all residents.

First, the resident or owner responsible for the violation will be formally notified, usually through a written notice explaining the nature of the violation and the necessary corrective actions.

Our goal is to maintain a harmonious living environment while ensuring compliance with the community’s rules and regulations.
