    Are occupants liable for damage caused by unit alterations?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Yes, Article (39) stipulates that an occupant is liable for remedying any damage arising from alterations made to their unit. If the occupant fails to fix the damage, RERA or the Master Developer can appoint a third party to do so at the occupant's expense. This article also emphasizes that all alterations to the unit's external appearance require prior approval from the developer and the DLD to ensure the building's aesthetic and structural integrity are maintained.
