The Judicial Execution Department has urged tenants to take the necessary regulatory measures immediately upon signing lease agreements, particularly regarding the transfer of water and electricity meters to their personal names.

Reasons for the Directive
The Department explained that it has recently observed an increase in judicial execution requests filed against property owners based on default judgments (in-absentia rulings). These rulings often stem from cases of meter tampering or utility violations. Although the actual benefit of the utility belongs to the tenant, the meters remain registered in the owner's name, leading the owner to face legal consequences for the tenant's actions.
Legal Protection for Both Parties
The Department noted that this procedure serves two main purposes:
Protecting Property Owners: Ensuring they do not bear financial or legal burdens for which they are not responsible.
Protecting Tenants: It constitutes a legal commitment that shields the tenant from future accountability and prevents the issuance of default judgments that could negatively impact their legal and credit standing.
How to Inquire
The Department highlighted that citizens can inquire about judicial requests and follow up on transactions through the following channels:
Toll-Free Number: Calling 117111.
"Sanad" App: Using the official government application for easy and secure access to electronic services and inquiries.
