Badly need an advise
So feeling down lately… Here’s my story:
We are living in a 2 bedroom flat in downtown abu dhabi with a yearly rent of 58k which is payable for 3 splits. 1st split will be through cash payment and the rest is by cheques. Now, we did not miss any payments during this time. But when the owner died, that’s when things got ugly. They are asking us for the proofs of payment. For the cheque payments I have record of that but for the cash payment I don’t. I FORGOT to ask for the receipt during the 1st payment. And I can’t grab a hold of the previous building caretaker since he is already back to his home country. Now the issue is that they want us to pay AGAIN for that cash payment that they said they did not receive. And I tried to pull out my bank records during that time but I can’t see any transactions during that time me withdrawing the same amount.
So I accepted my fate but tried to ask the new owner if I can pay 3 months after our contract ends. He declined. Even asking him that I will leave a cheque to be post dated 3 months after the end of contract. Still declined.
Been thinking of asking a loan from the bank but it seems a bit expensive after all the deductions and interest.
Maybe anyone can give any advise on how I can move forward with the situation I am in?
Thanks in advance!
