These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the website hab-living.com and of the
connected services operated under that domain — the room application, the tenant portal,
the handover protocol, the termination service, the contract signing pages and the
calendar feeds (together, the "Services").
The Services are operated by Husam Al Bayya, acting as a private individual landlord,
Azizi Riviera 35, Meydan — Nad Al Sheba, Dubai, United Arab Emirates ("HAB-Living", "we",
"us"). HAB-Living is a brand name, not a registered company. Full details are in our
By using the Services you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the
Services.
The Services present rooms and apartments, take applications, and support the
administration of an existing tenancy.
Nothing on this website is a binding offer. Room listings, prices, availability and
illustrations are an invitation to apply. A tenancy comes into existence only when a
written tenancy agreement has been signed by both sides. Until then, no claim to a room
exists — not through an application, not through a viewing, and not through a payment
that has not yet been accepted by us in writing.
Images, floor plans and furnishing descriptions show the standard of our apartments. Minor
differences between the room shown and the room allocated are possible; the room you rent
is identified by its room code in the tenancy agreement.
To apply you must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract.
During the application you provide personal information and identity documents. You confirm
that everything you provide is true, complete and your own. Providing false information,
another person's documents, or documents that have been altered entitles us to reject the
application, and — if a tenancy has already been concluded on that basis — to terminate it
in accordance with the tenancy agreement and applicable law.
Applying costs nothing. We do not charge an application fee, a viewing fee, or a fee for
being placed on a waiting list.
We select residents on the basis of objective criteria such as completeness of the
application, ability to pay, the fit of the intended stay with the room, and the balance of
the shared apartment. We do not decide on the basis of ethnic origin, nationality,
religion, disability, age, sexual orientation or gender.
Availability shown online is a snapshot and can change at any time, including while your
application is in progress.
Where the application reserves a room for you, the reservation is temporary and
non-binding for both sides. It lapses automatically if the next step is not completed
within the period shown to you at that moment. A lapsed reservation gives rise to no claim.
Several parts of the Services are reached through a personal link — the confirmation link
in an e-mail, the signing link for your contract, your personal calendar feed, a document
download link.
Anyone who has that link can act in your name. Treat it exactly like a password: do not
forward it, do not post it, do not put it into a shared chat or a shared document. Tell us
immediately at info@hab-living.com if you believe a link of yours has reached someone else;
we will deactivate it and issue a new one.
We may deactivate a link at any time without notice if we have reason to believe it is
being used by someone other than the person it was issued to.
Tenancy agreements and related documents are concluded electronically. You sign on a page
that identifies you by a personal link and an additional verification step, for example
your date of birth.
An electronically signed contract is as binding as one signed on paper. After signing
you receive the final document; it is also stored in your file with us. Please check the
document immediately after receipt and tell us at once if anything is wrong.
Where these Terms and your tenancy agreement say different things, your tenancy agreement
prevails, followed by the house rules, followed by these Terms.
Rent, deposit, security cheques, fees and every other payment obligation are governed
exclusively by your tenancy agreement and the documents referred to in it. Figures shown
on this website are indicative and never replace the agreement.
Payments are made to the account named in your tenancy agreement. We never announce a
change of bank details by e-mail alone. If you receive a message asking you to pay to a
different account, do not pay — call us first on the number in the Legal Notice.
You may use the Services only for their intended purpose. You must not:
of others;
We may block access temporarily or permanently if these rules are broken, and we reserve
all further legal rights.
Documents, photographs and information you upload remain yours. You grant us the right to
store and use them for the purpose for which you provided them — deciding on your
application, performing the tenancy, keeping the records we are required to keep.
You confirm that you are entitled to upload what you upload, in particular that photographs
do not infringe the rights of third parties.
We take care to keep the Services available, but we do not owe uninterrupted availability.
Maintenance, technical faults and events outside our control can interrupt them. Where
possible we announce planned maintenance in advance.
We may change, extend or discontinue individual functions. Where a change materially
affects an existing tenancy, we will inform the residents concerned in good time.
Where the Services link to websites of third parties, we have no influence over their
content and adopt none of it as our own. Responsibility for those pages lies with their
respective operators.
The design, texts, images, logos and software of the Services belong to HAB-Living or to
our licensors. You may use them for your own use of the Services. Any other use — in
particular reproduction, distribution or public display — requires our prior written
consent.
The name HAB-Living and the slogan "Because home is a feeling." are our
distinguishing signs. They may not be used without our consent.
We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, and
for damage arising from injury to life, body or health.
For slight negligence we are liable only where a duty has been breached that is essential
for the proper performance of the contract and on the fulfilment of which you may routinely
rely; in that case liability is limited to the damage typically foreseeable for this type of
contract.
Any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the applicable law remains unaffected.
Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have as a tenant under your tenancy agreement
or under mandatory law.
How we handle your personal data — including your identity documents — is described in our
Privacy Notice. It forms part of these Terms.
We may change these Terms where there is good reason to do so — for example a change in the
law, a change in our services, or the closing of a loophole.
Every version is kept. Each version carries a date; a superseded version is never
overwritten, so you can always see which text applied when. Where a change materially
affects your use of the Services, we will notify you in text form before it takes effect.
Which law applies follows the apartment, not the website. We let rooms in more than one
country, and a tenancy is governed by the law of the place where the apartment is.
in connection with it, are governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates as applicable
in the Emirate of Dubai. Place of jurisdiction is Dubai, to the extent legally permissible.
it, are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The place of jurisdiction
follows the statutory rules; mandatory German tenancy law and mandatory consumer
protection provisions apply in full and are not restricted by these Terms.
For use of the website that is not connected to a particular apartment — browsing, an
application not yet allocated to a room, general enquiries — the law of the United Arab
Emirates as applicable in Dubai governs, because that is where we are based. Where you are
a consumer habitually resident in another country, the mandatory consumer protection
provisions of that country remain unaffected.
Where these Terms and your tenancy agreement conflict on this point, the tenancy agreement
prevails.
If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid, the remaining provisions stay in
force.
