Getting Closer to Home
We understand that moving in is never easy.
So here are a few tips to make it a smooth, convenient process.
Moving In Essentials
As you are a step closer to your home, please make sure you receive the following items:

Move In Permit (MIP)

All main door and internal keys*

Warranty certificates and coverage advice*

Homeowner’s manual*

DEWA consumer number*

Car parking bay number*

Access cards/transponder (if applicable)*

Postal address (if applicable)*

PO Box keys (if applicable)*
* If you are the first owner, contact the Emaar Property Handover Department. If you are the second owner, contact the first previous owner/real estate agent. If you are a tenant, contact your landlord/real estate agent.
Remember, you require a signed off Move In Permit (MIP) before you
actually shift into your new home.
A MIP is an essential document required prior to your move in, and without it access may
be restricted or denied. Once you have submitted the Property Move In and Occupant
Information forms, your Community Manager will process and sign off your MIP, which
will be valid for a period of 45 days from the date of issue. Your Community Manager
requires at least five working days to review and process your request.
Move In inspection
Before you move in, an inspection will be conducted by community security, to assess the
condition of the common areas that will be used when moving in. This assessment ensures that
you are not held liable for any damages you are not responsible for, and repairs, if required,
can be made immediately.

Moving In
Access to your apartment
Elevator usage
During the handover from the Emaar Property Handover Department, landlord/real estate agent or
the previous homeowner, you will be assigned your parking bay(s) and receive parking access cards
to enter your building and parking area. The number of access cards and parking bay(s) that you are
allowed is in accordance to your apartment size as mentioned in the Application for Vehicle Access
form. You may ask the Community Manager for the form or download it from ecm.ae/documents.html
It is mandatory that all car owners carry their parking access cards at all times, failing which
community security could request for further details or even deny access to the community.
• To avoid damaging the elevators when you are moving large objects into your new home,
please use a service or padded elevator.
• Passenger elevators must not be used during moving in and for transporting home equipment
or furniture.
• If there are no service elevators in your building, please use those that are padded.
• In case, you spot any damages to the elevators before you move in, notify community security immediately.
• In the event of an emergency, do not use elevators and do not move in.
Access cards for entering the building: Apart from the master cards that provide dual access into
the parking bay and the building, separate building access cards are also issued. This depends
on the access control system used by your community. Speak to your concierge for details.
Garbage disposal
Additional access cards: In case you wish to get additional parking access cards, or building
access cards, consult your concierge for the relevant form. You may also download it from
ecm.ae/documents.html and submit it with the required documents and payment.
Any garbage resulting from you moving in should be handled or disposed of in accordance with
the guidelines mentioned in the ‘Following Guidelines’ section on page 13 of this document.
Water and electricity
Parking
Please use the assigned parking bay for parking your vehicle. Visitors’ parking is for a short term
only, after which cars may be tagged and towed at the owner’s expense. For visitors who wish to

You will need to make your own arrangements for the disposal of cardboard boxes and large, heavy items such as furniture, electrical items, appliances, etc.
Flammable or hazardous household waste must not be thrown down the chute, as it poses grave
danger to the waste handler and the building, and could spark a fire.

Notice of Violation
What is a Notice of Violation (NOV)?
It is only natural to want to add a personal touch to your home. While this is permitted, you just need to make sure your
alterations adhere to the guidelines relevant to your community.
An NOV is a formal written notice issued by the community or an authorised representative, to
a homeowner/resident, when a violation of the Community Rules is identified at the property.
At the first instance of a violation, a First Notice is issued. If the violation is repeated or not
rectified, a Final Notice along with a Violation Penalty will be issued.
Architectural Guidelines
What is the purpose of the NOV?
It is to enforce the Community Rules, ensure that all homeowners and residents comply with the
standards of the community, and to initiate corrective action to prevent future violation.
These guidelines regulate all major alterations undertaken within your property. As part of the
Community Rules, you must comply with these Architectural Guidelines in order to make any
changes to your unit. Contact the Emaar Customer Care Alterations Department on Alterations@
emaar.ae for the Architectural Guidelines relevant to your community. Log onto ecm.ae/documents.
html for the Alteration & Home Improvement Factsheet.
Your responsibility:
• Before you start any improvement work, you must review the Architectural Guidelines and then apply for an Alteration Permit using the form – Request for Alterations, Additions and Home
Improvements found on ecm.ae/documents.html
• If any damage is caused to the common areas during or as a result of alteration work, you are
responsible for repairing it at your own expense.
• Clear any debris immediately and ensure that areas surrounding your unit are kept clean and tidy,
during the period of work and after completion.
• Inform your concierge about the intended work, the date, time of completion, and details of
the people on site – a day in advance.
Things to remember:
• Before you start any alteration work, please ensure that you get all necessary NOCs from the Emaar Customer Care Alterations Department and permits from community security.
• Only contractors with prior authorisation will be allowed into the community by community security.
• Your assigned contractors must carry an Alteration Permit while on site, at all times.
Defect Liability Period
Emaar provides warranty for repairs on defective materials, fittings and fixtures for a period of one
year from the completion of construction/project handover of your property. This is limited to defects
due to manufacturing or faulty workmanship.
If you are a homeowner
In some cases, homeowners are protected by extended warranties issued by some suppliers/
subcontractors. Copies of these warranties are provided with the Homeowners Manual at the time
of key handover to the first owner. After the expiry of the one year Defect Liability Period, you
can contact and coordinate with the supplier directly. Please contact 800 EMAAR (800 36227) and
register any issues that come up during the Defect Liability Period.
If you are a tenant
You may also contact your landlord/real estate agent for the Homeowner’s Manual and copies of
warranties. To understand what Defect Liability covers, go to ecm.ae/documents.html to download
the Preventive Maintenance & Defect Warranty Period factsheet.

Who is liable to pay the Violation Penalty?
The homeowner is liable to pay the Violation Penalty, even if the tenant is responsible.
How should one pay the Violation Penalty?
Only cash payments are accepted and should be made along with the copy of the NOV to the
Credit Control Department.
All Violation Penalties collected are credited to the respective Community Service Fee Fund as
community income.

Protecting Your Home
Whether you’re a homeowner or resident, making sure that your home and property is protected against loss, damage
or theft is of paramount importance. While the structure of your building and the common areas of your community
are already insured, we recommend you invest in a comprehensive insurance plan that provides protection for all your
personal property needs.
Community Insurance
The Community Manager maintains a minimum level of insurance for the entire community
(common areas and properties) that covers against:
• Accidental, damage or destruction to building or common property
• Natural disasters, fire, lightning, earthquake, aircraft damage, flood, storm, explosion, riot,
strike, malicious damage, water leaks, and theft
• Rent for temporary alternative accommodation in the event the building is inhabitable
• Any injury to third party or loss of or damage to third party property (present in the property)
by acts of nature
Home Insurance
As a homeowner, your dream home and everything you treasure deserve proper protection from
unexpected events and accidental loss or damage. A typical Home Insurance will cover you and
your property against:
• Fire, explosion, lightning, earthquake, storm, flood, and much more
• Leakage of water from water tanks, pipes, fixed apparatus
• Theft, or attempted theft
It will also cover:
• Damage to paint finishes on your walls and ceilings
• Personal possessions, carpets, furniture, appliances, electronics, money, and credit cards
• Domestic helpers
• Cost of alternative accommodation
You could also consider protecting what's 'in' your home with Contents Insurance.
Contents Insurance
If you are a tenant, your unit will be protected by Home Insurance that covers your building
— not your belongings or your liabilities. This is why it is recommended that you get Contents
Insurance for protecting your personal belongings.
Contents Insurance will typically cover:
• Your personal possessions and valuables
• Carpets, furniture, appliances and electronics
• Emergency accommodation
In fact, some contents insurance policies even cover the contents of your fridge and freezer!
NOTE: What your Insurance will specifically cover will vary depending on which insurance

Sustainability
Sustainable living is at the heart of how
we run and manage your community.
We’re passionate about minimising our
environmental footprint and inspiring our
residents to do the same.
We have implemented campaigns to remove invasive Damas trees, engaged our younger
residents with sustainability measures through art, and initiated efforts to conserve water and
minimise power usage through controlled lighting and scheduled irrigation. These efforts are
complemented by a focus on renewable energy initiatives, recycling, and waste management.
Our Sustainability Committee, also known as The Green Team, steers operations across
the board towards a greener future for our communities and ourselves, by spearheading
campaigns and eco drives to promote and practice the green way of living.
Overall, our sustainability initiatives have helped us achieve a sustainable approach to
everyday purchasing decisions and an increased life of equipment and machinery.

Community Service Fee
The Community Service Fee (CSF) is the homeowner's annual contribution towards the common expenditure of the community.
The CSF is based on the estimated annual expenditure of the community for the operation and maintenance of its common
property and assets. It also includes a share towards the Master Community Levy and a provision for the Capital Reserve Fund
that will cover the replacement of common assets when necessary.
The key components of an annual budget are:
• Historical expenses
• Utility consumption and rates
• Resource allocation on site
• Service provider contracts
• Capital assets evaluation
(maintenance, repair, replacements)
• Surplus/deficit adjustment from
previous years (if any)
Your invoice will give you a detailed breakdown of how we arrive at the CSF for the year. We also send out an information pack with
further details about each community relating to the previous year, with news of key events and developments.

Community Service Fee
Operating expenses
How do I pay?
Capital Reserve Fund: Established to pay for costs incurred in the repair and replacement of
significant capital items. Examples of this would be elevator or chiller replacements, or perhaps
flooring, complete painting and cladding of buildings. It is vitally important to have a robust
fund to guarantee not only the smooth running of the community but also to ensure that the
value of the building and individual units are maintained well into the future.
Don’t wait in long queues — take the easy option!
Special Levy: This is a one-off charge for items not in the design or those not covered under
the General Fund. For example, if you require an additional facility such as a play area or a
swimming pool, the cost for this will be covered by the Special Levy.
Master Community Levy: The Master Community Levy goes towards maintenance of areas that
are not part of any particular community but are common to the Master Community and shared
by all. A Master Community Levy is charged to each community and other non-residential entities
– for example: hotels, clubs and retail areas within the Downtown Dubai Master Community.
This charge is paid through the CSF and covers items such as plants and the maintenance of the
Master Community infrastructure including roads, underground services, storm drains, sewage
lines and pavements.
Administrative expenses
This covers the general administration costs and facility management fees that allow us to
deliver community services to the required standards. Administrative expenses include, but are
not limited, to the management of the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Community events and awareness
Campaigns
Statutory fees and permits
Common area insurance
Auditor’s fees
•
•
•
•
Management costs
Legal and professional fees
Bank charges
Communication charges, such as printing,
SMS, and postage
Community Income
In addition to the CSF, the income of the community is also boosted by the following:
Late Payment Fee: In line with directions from RERA, a Late Payment Fee (LPF) of 1% per month
is charged on any amount overdue after the CSF Invoice due date. The LPF is a deterrent for
homeowners who delay or default on their CSF payments and also serves to offset any interest
payments to be made by the community from borrowing due to shortage of funds.
Parking access cards: The cards used by residents to enter their building or parking areas
are provided to homeowners at a small cost and the income generated is credited to the
community’s account.
Marketing and Distribution Permit Fee: To ensure that only legitimate businesses gain access to
the community to promote their goods and services, we regulate activity with the provision of
a permit that allows the distribution of promotional material. An administration fee is collected
and booked as income to the community.
Pay your community service fee with a variety of easy payment methods:
Online
• Quick pay (for Visa and MasterCard holders only): Log in to the Emaar E-Service portal
eservice.emaar.com from anywhere, anytime
• Online banking services (account holders only):Log in to your personal online bank account

• Deposit the cheque directly into your community bank account mentioned on the front of your
CSF Invoice

PJSC, PO Box 9440, Dubai, UAE.
Direct Bank Transfer
Directly transfer funds from your bank account to the community bank account as detailed on the
front of your CSF Invoice.
Pre-authorised Direct Debit Form
Provide us with standing instructions to directly charge your UAE bank account or your Visa or
MasterCard by pre-authorising a Direct Debit Form (DDF) attached with your CSF Invoice.
Community Service Fee Drop Boxes
Community Service Fee Drop Boxes are placed at convenient locations within each community, so
that you can drop your Community Service Fee cheques and Pre-authorised Auto Debit Forms.
Violation Penalty: To ensure adherence to the Community Rules and architectural codes, NOVs
are issued along with Violation Penalties to those who fail to comply.
Miscellaneous income: This is income generated from other avenues such as interest earned on
call accounts or bounced cheque charges.

Your Questions Answered
How do I dispose of household trash?
Please ensure that it is sealed securely in a bag before putting it down the garbage
chute. Then check that the chute door is properly shut. Under no circumstances should
hot cooking oil or lit cigarettes, ashes, matches or candles be thrown down the chute,
as any of these items could start a fire. If your domestic helper disposes of your
garbage, please make sure that he or she is also aware of the correct way to use the
chute. Please do not leave items of bulky waste in the garbage chute room but make
your own arrangements to dispose of this type of waste.
I have some old furniture that is far too big to be placed into the garbage room. What can I do?
You will need to make your own arrangements for the disposal of bulky items like
furniture, electrical items, appliances, etc.
Am I allowed to wash my cars in my private parking bay?
You need to maintain caution when cleaning your vehicles as you are not allowed to
hose down your car with water in common areas because harsh cleaning agents stain
and damage flooring. Please ensure that you follow the Community Rules while cleaning
your car as damaging the common areas is a serious violation.
Do I have to insure the contents of my unit?
While there is no obligation to do so, it is highly recommended that you take out
adequate insurance on the contents of your unit. The insurance maintained by the
community only covers the structure of the building. Therefore, contents such as
your furniture, electrical appliances, curtains and carpets, would not be covered. As a
homeowner or tenant, you can suffer significant losses when your personal property
is not insured if there is a fire, unexpected events, natural calamities, water damage
or even accidental damage. We encourage you to contact a reputable local insurance
company, broker or bank that offers Property and Contents Insurance.
I want to carry out some alterations to my property. Do I need to seek permission?
Yes. Please refer to the factsheet on Alterations and Home Improvement on ecm.ae
or contact the Emaar Customer Care Alterations Department on 800 EMAAR (800 36227).
Are there any restrictions to using my balcony and/or terrace?
Yes, there are. You may refer the Balcony Etiquette Factsheet on ecm.ae/documents.html
A pipe has burst in my bathroom. Who is responsible for fixing it?
As the resident, you are responsible to get it fixed and bear the charges. However, if the
pipe services more than your unit, the responsibility may fall under the community and
will be maintained by the community.

Your Questions Answered
How can I get additional parking access cards?
In case you have lost or misplaced your parking access cards, you may download and request
for a new one. You can download the form from ecm.ae/documents.html, fill it in and submit
it to your concierge with the necessary payment and supporting documents.
Can I rent out my apartment for short stays?
No, the minimum lease must be for a term of six months in line with the Community Rules
and your Sales & Purchase Agreement.
My neighbour's friend stays over and parks his car in the visitors’ parking bay every night.
Is this allowed?
Visitors’ parking is for a short term only, after which cars may be tagged and towed at the
homeowner’s expense. For visitors who wish to park for longer periods, residents should
contact community security.
Someone is making a lot of noise and it’s disturbing my sleep. How do I get them to stop?
You may contact community security who are available 24 hours a day and report the matter,
or involve the local authorities for further escalation.
How can I book the multi-function room?
Your multi-function room can be used by reservation. You may contact your concierge
or Community Manager’s office for the availability and the number of persons to be
accommodated.
I am planning to hold a party by our community pool. What are the conditions?
Due to safety reasons, the community swimming pools cannot be used as a venue for parties.
Should you face any plumbing, mechanical
or electrical issues in your apartment, here
are a few tips on what to do first.
If your water main breaks or a major plumbing line leaks
Turn off the main water valve. It is important to know the location of this valve. If you need
help, call the concierge.
If you notice a leak under a sink or toilet
Turn off the water to the fixture by using the shutoff valves located under or behind the unit.
Arrange for service through a third party provider.
If you notice a leak in the bath or shower
Turn off the water at the fixture and arrange for service. Do not use the shower or bath until
service can be provided.
If there is a leak in the water heater
Use the shutoff valve on top of the heater to turn off the water and arrange to drain the water
heater.
Can I host a party at home?
Yes you can. But you need to ensure that you notify your concierge and community security
so that they can be prepared for parking and entry arrangements. You should also inform your
neighbours, however it is recommended that you avoid hosting loud parties.
If you notice water spots (darkened areas) on your walls or ceilings
You may have a water leak. Determine the source of water if possible and take steps to
prevent further damage. If the leaks can be traced to one location (toilet, sink or tub), turn off
the water to that fixture. If the leak cannot be isolated, turn off the main water service to the
unit. Arrange for service through a third party provider.
What rules apply to hiring household staff/domestic help?
As per local law, a person can only work for you as maid or household staff member, if
he/she is sponsored by you or if you hire the services of an individual through a reputable
agency. You cannot employ a person on someone else’s sponsorship, even if they obtain
an NOC from their sponsor. This is illegal and you could be fined up to AED 100,000 by
the local authorities. For more information, please refer to the Household Staff factsheet
on ecm.ae/documents.html
If a complete power outage occurs
Check if your neighbours have electrical power. If the power is off throughout your building/
community, call DEWA to report the outage. If the outage is limited only to your home, inspect
all circuit breakers, including the main breaker. If a breaker appears damaged, arrange for
service. If the breakers are not damaged, turn them all off and back on again, one at a time. If
power does not resume, arrange for service through a third party provider.
How do I give access to maids?
An access card will only be issued to maids under the sponsorship of homeowners or
residents. If this is applicable in your case, you may contact your concierge for the relevant
form and submit it with the necessary documents.
If there is no power to an electrical outlet
Check if it is connected to a wall switch that may have not been turned on. Once this is
determined, inspect the circuit breakers and reset any that may have turned off.
Note: Please note that federal/local laws applies in all the above cases.
If a hanging light fixture does not work
You probably have a broken connection along a circuit. Check to see if wall switches, circuit
breakers and the bulb has been installed properly.
What should I do if I receive an NOV?
As mentioned in the NOV, you are required to comply within the time frame specified and
ensure that the issue is not repeated in the future. You may also contact us on 800 EMAAR
(800 36227) or email us at communities@ecm.ae for any clarification you might require.

The customer assumes full liability that the above information provided by them is complete, accurate, true and reliable and Emaar is under no obligation to verify it.
It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that sufficient funds are available in the account from which the payment is to be processed on the date the installment is due.
It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the payment is correct and received by Emaar on time. Emaar accepts no liability whatsoever in this respect and is under no obligation to notify the customer of

If any transaction is found to be incorrect, unauthorised or fraudulent for reasons beyond the customer’s control, payment may be reversed. To avoid doubt, the customer remains bound to make the
remaining payment to Emaar immediately.
Emaar will attempt to charge the credit card only twice within a time span of 24 hours in cases where authorisation from the bank has not been received.
The customer should notify Emaar in writing at least 15 working days in advance of any change in their personal information or credit card details given above. The written notice should be delivered

Emaar has the right (without liability) to suspend, terminate, modify fees or discontinue this transaction (whether temporarily or permanently) at any time at its discretion for any reason whatsoever without

which they may suffer or incur as a result of this transaction or as a result of a breach by the customer of these Terms and conditions.

action, demand, damage or loss as a result of this transaction.

These Terms and conditions are supplemental to those provided in the Sales and Purchase Agreement and its schedules, which the customer has entered into with the vendor (subsidiary to Emaar) in respect of
the sale/purchase of the property.

EMAAR COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT
Things to do during an emergency
An emergency comes without warning, so here are some tips to help you stay prepared.
Familiarise yourself with the evacuation plans of your community and take necessary steps to avert unexpected incidents that
will maintain a safe environment for yourself and your fellow residents.
Emergency exits
Aiding the disabled
• Make sure you, your family, and staff members are familiar with the emergency escape routes when you first move into your building — always know at least two ways out, if possible.
• Directional signs to emergency exits are always illuminated.
People with disabilities, who may need assistance during an evacuation, are required to notify
their Community Manager/community security/concierge of their condition when they move in —
they will then be assigned an aide to assist them during an evacuation
Evacuation
Assembly Points
DON’T PANIC
• Follow the instructions of the building and area Fire Wardens at all times during an emergency.
• If the evacuation alarm sounds, or if instructed to do so by a Fire Warden, leave the building
by the nearest and safest fire exit route.
• All doors should be closed upon leaving (but not locked, in case access is required by
emergency teams); however, Emaar Community Management will not be held liable for any losses you may incur.
• Do not return to collect belongings.
• Assembly Points are located at a safe distance from the building and are intended for evacuees to
gather and remain safely until further instructions are provided.
• Please contact your concierge who will advise you of the nearest fire assembly points for your
building.
DO NOT USE THE LIFTS
• Walk quickly and calmly to the designated assembly area for your building or as advised by
a Fire Warden or Fire and Rescue Services personnel.
• Remain at the assembly area (in groups) until instructed to leave by a Fire Warden or Fire
and Rescue Services personnel.
• Do not re-enter the building until informed that it is safe to do so by a Fire Warden or Fire
and Rescue Services personnel.
• Do not enter a building that is still sounding the fire alarm.
• Check that all persons known to be in the building at the time, have reached the assembly
point — if anyone is missing, report it immediately to community security, the Community
Manager, or Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) personnel on site.
Action to be taken upon discovering a fire
• If a fire is discovered (including during a fire drill), activate the nearest manual alarm call point.
• Shout a warning to alert those close by.
• Evacuate as per the guidelines previously described.
Rescue and medical duties
• Dubai Civil Defense will conduct all rescue and medical duties.
• Do not move an injured person, keep him/her lying down, covered, and warm.
Your information
To enable us to contact you in case of an emergency, and support the evacuation of disabled
persons from the building, please provide us with a completed Occupant Information Form available
on ecm.ae/documents.html; alternatively, you can write to us at communities@ecm.ae or call 800
EMAAR (800 36227). Information you supply will be held in full confidence.
Reporting
You can assist in ensuring that the systems and equipment used to detect fire, fight fire, and
support evacuations are maintained in good working order. If you notice any damage and/or signs
of tampering with any of the equipment, blocked emergency exit paths, fire doors not closing
properly, or if you believe you have a faulty detector or sprinkler head, please report it immediately
to communities@ecm.ae or call us on 800 EMAAR (800 36227).
