8 متاح 8 • عرض الجميعمنزل جديد غير جاهز للسكن بعد إصدار الشيكات. ماذا يفعل المستأجر؟


2
س: مرحبًا،
وقعت عقد إيجار للانتقال إلى منزل جديد في 17 نوفمبر 2023. ذكر الملحق أن المنزل سيكون جاهزًا للانتقال إليه بعد التنظيف الدقيق وإجراء مكافحة الآفات قبل تاريخ انتقالنا.
ومع ذلك، عندما زرنا العقار أمس، لم يتم الانتهاء من أي من أعمال الصيانة، ووجدنا العديد من المشكلات، مثل فقد مفاتيح، وعدم اكتمال خطافات التعليق في الحمام، وغياب غطاء الصرف، وضياع صنبور المياه الخارجي.
من الواضح أن العقار لن يكون جاهزًا للانتقال إليه بحلول 17 فبراير. تحدثنا إلى السمسار لتأجيل تاريخ الانتقال وإعادة الشيكات القديمة حتى نتمكن من كتابة شيكات جديدة.
للأسف، كان المالك قد أودع بالفعل 2/3 من الشيكات في البنك.
نظرًا لوجود خرق محتمل للعقد بسبب عدم جاهزية العقار للانتقال إليه بحلول 17 فبراير، فما حقوقنا؟
هل يمكننا إلغاء العقد؟
هل يمكن ارتجاع الشيكات بحيث لا يحصل المالك على الأموال؟
إذا رُفضت الشيكات، هل سنتعرض لعقوبة؟

How can I oblige the landlord and building management to do maintenance for leakage?

2
Q: What are my options to take legal action against my apartment building for not fixing the constant issues that I am facing in my bathroom?
For over 2 months now, I have been fighting with them to get more hot water and to stop leaks in my bathroom that are caused by a bad water heater.
The building management has not been able to fix these issues and is now telling me to find my own technician and pay for another water heater. I know this is illegal.
Please help!

Is the building management obliged to provide air conditioning in common areas?


1
Q: Hello,
I seek guidance regarding an issue I am facing with the air conditioning in the common areas of the building where I reside.
The facilities management of my building recently decided to turn off the air conditioning in all common areas, including the reception lobby and corridors on all floors.
Upon inquiring about this issue, I was informed by the management that they do not have any air conditioning set up in these areas.
This contradicts the fact that the air conditioning was functioning correctly in previous years but was discontinued this year.
Considering the implications of the high temperatures during the summer months in Dubai, I am concerned about the legality of not having air conditioning available in all common areas.
I would greatly appreciate your guidance on the following matter.

Landlord wants to change maintenance terms after rent increase: What are my rights?


2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a question about the renewal of my contract for the third year. The owner has increased the rent according to the RERA index, and I have agreed to this.
However, there was an additional term in the contract that stated that the landlord would be responsible for major maintenance.
The landlord has now said that all maintenance will be the responsibility of the tenant, and he has stopped communicating with me.
Is it allowed to change the terms and conditions of the contract when renewing it with a higher rent price?

Is there a timeframe for a property maintenance claim after vacating the apartment?



1
Q: Upon vacating your apartment, can you sue your landlord for ongoing maintenance issues while you lived there?
For 3 years I had ongoing maintenance issues which the building would not fix properly.
Furthermore, they have now tried to deduct from my security deposit despite not fixing several issues that occurred in the past 3 years!
Is there a timeframe for a maintenance claim?
I would like to sue them for years of lack of maintenance which destroyed my experience while living there.
Please advise.
Thank you.

A tenant wants to bring their own maintenance company to fix the AC. Is it allowed?

1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
My tenant is not happy with the air conditioning performance.
I have sent a contractor twice and now arranging for a third trip although the engineer says it is fixed.
The tenant is now going to call his own maintenance company without my permission and claims he will pass me the bill.
Is this allowed?

Is it normal to pay maintenance fees upon each rental contract renewal?




1
Q: Hello,
Regarding the rental contract, I have a term that requires a 2000 AED maintenance fee upon renewal.
Is it normal to pay this fee upon each renewal, and can I negotiate to remove this term from the new contract?
It feels like an overcharge. Renting is in Dubai. Appreciate your help!
Thank you!

When is the real estate owner responsible for maintenance in a retail shop?




1
Q: Dear Lawyers,
This question pertains to maintenance work in a retail commercial shop. Typically, in such shops, all maintenance is paid for by the business manager.
Additionally, our specific contract states that "all maintenance work in the retail shop is the responsibility of the tenant." In what cases does the real estate owner get involved?
The business manager experiences recurring maintenance issues every six months.

عرض الجميعCan I be convicted of driving under the influence even if the alcohol test came back negative? 0
Hello,
I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol.
I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days.
However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that?
Please answer me. It is urgent.

Can we legally claim unpaid dues for food supplies based on emails and invoices? 0
Hello,
We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams.
Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?

A hair salon caused serious damage to my hair and scalp. What can I do to sue them? 0
I’m looking for legal advice regarding a hair salon incident that caused serious damage to my hair and scalp.
I visited a salon for a colouring treatment, during which two rounds of bleach, which is not what I booked in for, were given to me without proper approvals, and were applied back-to-back without a strand test or proper consultation.
As a result, I’ve been experiencing extreme hair breakage, daily hair loss, and ongoing scalp irritation. This has been especially distressing as I’m currently pregnant.
It’s now been over 20 days since the incident, and despite multiple polite follow-ups, the salon has ignored all communication.
I’m now exploring legal action to pursue compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused. I have full documentation, messages, and photos.
Any guidance on the best next steps or legal routes I can take would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

What can I do if the landlord has not been responding to renew the commercial lease contract and Ejari? 0
Good day.
For the last 3 years, the landlord's office has not responded to renew the contract, so I contacted RERA for renewal.
The office doesn't respond to emails related to renewal, even though I started sending emails and reminders 2 to 3 months before expiry, and I have no choice but to contact RERA and send a notice.
Once the renewal was processed by law, the landlord's office delayed in releasing the Ejari. Since it is a commercial property, my renewals are related to a staff visa, and I have to pay delay penalties.
The landlord's office staff tried to take advantage of the Emirati owner, and no direct meeting was fruitful.
What is the law that safeguards expats and sorts out issues without mutual compromise as they try to force their terms to be acceptable by law and not supported by any documentation?
