    What is the penalty for preventing an owner from using common parts?

    It is strictly forbidden for a Developer or Management Entity to prevent an owner from taking possession of their unit or using Common Parts or Facilities to force them to pay charges. Such actions are a direct contravention of the law's procedures. If an entity is found guilty of such a violation, they face severe administrative penalties, including fines starting at one million Dirhams (AED 1,000,000). This protection ensures that property rights are respected and that disputes over service charges are settled through legal channels rather than through coercion,.
