May Residence is a development of five towers in Jumeirah Village Circle, Dubai, with 70 apartments between them. Dubai Land Department files first list it in 2016. Two lifts serve them, roughly 35 homes each. Shared facilities include a swimming pool and a gym. Within 800 metres there are 6 shops, 4 pharmacies and clinics and 4 parks and gyms. On foot it rates as some errands on foot. Registered rents start around AED 44k a year for a studio.
“We have filed complaints with the property management for many years, but none of the issues have been properly addressed.
There are water leaks throughout the residential building.
The fire alarm siren goes off randomly almost every day.
In addition, there is an unidentified machine next to the residence that produces extremely loud noise.
Very poor service. Very poor service. Very poor service.”

Each card is a real, public Google review of this residence, sorted into our ten questions – answered only where the reviewer said something, and marked “Not answered” where they didn’t. Reviews written in other languages are shown in English and labelled. These come from Google, not from verified residents, so they count for only a small part of the HT Score, never as much as a real resident review.

“It’s been a headache dealing with Landmark Properties Real Estate Brokers, who manage some of the apartments in the building. Their customer service is extremely poor. The chiller registration process takes a long time, and until it’s completed they refuse to provide the keys. We ended up wasting a lot of time and nerves because of this.”

“positives
- very well located , just adjacent to school , entry and exit to main roads and connecting roads
- tower 5 front facing Appartments have great , al khail and townhouse view
- Appartment units much more larger in size compared to rest of area
- adequate basement and road parking for visitors as well
- low rise , with few floors , you ll hardly see any crowd in lobby or lift / common areas , more sense of space and privacy
- Jvc mall , shops , salons and everything you need as a resident including parks are at walking distance
Negatives
- most stated by other old reviews , no longer exist. Maintainence is by new agency and the reviews given to some employees, sales and marketing people , have nothing to do with the building .”

“Illegal Rent Raise, Does Not Refund Deposit, and 0% Maintenance
Before I share my experience, I tried to reach out to Kunoz Properties and ask for the contact information for a manager but after several requests by Raffy, a Kunoz employee would not respond to my request . Therefore, I am sharing my experience not to complain but to WARN potential tenants about the poor conditions the MAY Residence might offer.
Illegal Rent Raise- I had lived at May residence for 2 years and the first year the rent went up per the law, however this year they raised it to 76% over contract making it impossible to adjust and when I questioned it they dismissed my concern it by saying : the market value is up now.
Doesn’t Refund Deposit- Not only did they not refund my deposit, but they overcharged me to leave. At May Residence they will NOT issue a NOC for you to move until they do inspection and get DEWA and Chiller clearance. I asked for a pre- inspection, so I could have a chance to fix any issue, but they kept STALLING and the maintenance person Hamed did not respond to several messages. In the end, I had to pay 2,200 in total so they would issue a NOC for me to leave.
Moving out – You have to give a 2,000 Aed check to Kunoz and a 2,000 Aed check to Security ( refundable) before they allow you to move out in case you decide to damage the property. Also, I had to sleep in an apt without electricity for 2 nights because they needed a NOC from Dewa. I explained that I am still living in the unit and won’t be leaving until moving day. They replied with “Move into your new flat first then move out.” My question is how I am supposed to live in my new place without furniture. This was the worst moving out experience I have ever experienced in the 10 years of living in the UAE.
0% Maintenance- During my stay an internal part in the AC unit broke, not my responsibility but I ended up paying for the part and labour. The building is in poor condition and with paint peeling off the walls almost immediately and the tenant is expected to pay for repaint. They do not offer any maintenance. There is only one gym and one pool for 5 buildings and the buildings are not clean and very noisy all day long.
If you move here, you will be overcharged and you will not find peace here at May Residence.
I advise you to keep looking for a property with better management.
Respectfully.”
