My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024. I have two questions: (a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator? (b) The second question is, do I have to renew the rental agreement for 3 months (until December 2024) or not? Thank you.

لدي عقار مشترك في أبوظبي. لقد تعثرت في سداد الرهن العقاري حيث اضطررت إلى مغادرة العقار مع أطفالي بعد اعتداء زوجي السابق. غادر البلاد في عام 2018 ولم يدفع الرهن العقاري أبدًا. بما أنني كنت في البلاد، رفع البنك ضدي قضية جنائية، وحكم عليّ بالسجن لمدة 3 سنوات. لقد فزت بالاستئناف ضد البنك ثم رفع قضية جنائية أخرى بعد بضعة أشهر في دبي. مرة أخرى، فزت ودفعت غرامة. في عام 2019، رفع البنك قضية مدنية ضدي وضد زوجي السابق لاستعادة الممتلكات. ومع ذلك، في وقت شراء العقار، لم تكن هناك سندات ملكية، ويطلب البنك ذلك. لا أستطيع أن أعطيهم سندات الملكية لبيع العقار وسداد المبلغ المستحق لهم لأن زوجي السابق يرفض تقديم توكيل. لقد رفع البنك قضية جنائية أخرى ضدي فقط فيما يتعلق بممتلكاتنا المشتركة. أرغب في حل هذه المشكلة وسداد مستحقات البنك واستلام أي أموال متبقية من البيع. كيف يمكنني حل مشكلة سندات الملكية؟

سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة، لقد انفصلت عن زوجتي لأسباب متعلقة بالتوافق. تزوجنا في القنصلية الهندية في دبي يوم 23 ديسمبر. نود تقديم طلب الطلاق بالتراضي في أقرب وقت ممكن. هل يمكنني الحصول على بعض النصائح هنا بشأن الإجراءات؟

فشل صاحب العمل السابق في دفع مكافأة نهاية الخدمة الخاصة بي منذ ستة أشهر منذ استقالتي، هل من الممكن رفع قضية ضده بعد مدة 6 أشهر؟

وقّعت وكالة العقارات على مذكرة تفاهم تنص على أن وديعة التأمين بنسبة 10٪ المقدمة من المشتري والبائع سيتم الاحتفاظ بها لدى الشركة وسيتم تحريرها عند نقل الملكية. ولكن تم حظر نقل الملكية بأمر من المحكمة. وفقًا لزملائي، وكالة العقارات ليست وصيًا ولا يحق لهم الاحتفاظ بشيك الضمان الخاص بي من الأساس، فهل هذا الأمر صحيحًا؟

Hello, My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go. I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me. I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment. The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training. Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

Should the seller in Dubai hand over their tenant's security deposit to the buyer upon completing a sale? Who is responsible for managing this process? At the time of the exchange, the broker said he would follow up with the seller and collect the deposit. He hasn’t, and the seller has not handed over the deposit.

Dear Sir/Madam, My husband's family constantly provokes me and then records my every exaggerated reaction. Now I'm worried that they might use those things against me.

Hi, I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price. On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel. Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU. The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response. I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled. Please, I need advice.

Hello Sir/Madam, I have already finished my first year with my company and resigned. My employer is asking me to reimburse the cost of my visa because I did not finish my two-year contract. Do I need to pay? The cost is 7,000 AED.
