New Housing Fee
If you have been paying Housing Fee for a while it's worth going to DEWA head office near Citibank (Wafi) and checking it's correct.
Used to be 1% (Aprox) of Purchase price but that has changed and now is either 5% of rental contract or if you own and live in the property it's 5% of RERA predicted rental income.
As rents have dropped so much you are probably paying too much.
In my case 500aed a month more than I should have been paying.
It took 5 mins and they changed it on the spot. He also said they would back date the 500aed for 6 months but I've not see that yet!
There is a small room through a doorway to the right of the main counters.
Good luck
