In apartments there are always problems!
There is a company called "hitches and glitches" who when paid a fixed sum every year, will look after the maintenance of the apartment. I do not have the tel number off hand but will try and get it.

The tenant goes to DEWA, pays a deposit of Dhs 1000 and gets his connection. It's recommended that once he signs the contract, you get a disconnection done from your side and you pay what you owe to DEWA. Once the tenant registers in his name he starts paying the DEWA bills.
