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.

How to legally receive income from crypto trading without raising any concerns? 0
Hello,
Hope this message finds you well!
I am seeking legal advice regarding my financial situation as a forex trader living in the UAE under a sponsor work visa. Currently, I do not work for any company and earn my income primarily through cryptocurrency trading.
However, I would like to ensure that I can legally receive and withdraw approximately AED 15,000 per month into my UAE bank account without raising any suspicion from the bank.
My main concerns are:
I am a forex trader and earn money through cryptocurrency, which I then exchange into fiat currency (AED). How can I ensure that the process of depositing this income into my bank account is transparent and compliant with UAE laws to avoid any issues with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations?
Since I do not have a formal job or salary, how should I go about documenting or explaining my income to the bank to avoid any red flags regarding the source of my funds?
Are there any specific steps I need to take to ensure my deposits are compliant?

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address? 0
Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me.
Case Type: Civil Case
Claim amount: 400,000
Paid: 65,000
Reason: Commercial agreement of supply
Emirate: Ajman
This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address.
I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000.
Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim.
According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim.
So I want to reopen the case file.
I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch.
1) How can I make that request?
2) What documents are required?
3) Chances of reopening of case?
4) Cancellation of arrest warrant
Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do? 0
I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment.
One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled.
They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them.
What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices?
It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome?
Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied? 0
A bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts due to nonpayment of a personal loan and credit card.
Is a travel ban automatically applied?
I looked on the Dubai Courts website, and it says the judge has issued a “reserved” order for my case.
Furthermore, when the bank emails, they threaten me with a travel ban. So I am assuming there is no travel ban issued (but I don’t know). I haven’t received any notice of a travel ban.
If there is a travel ban, how do I find out?
I have checked the Dubai police app, and there are no financial crimes against me.
Please advise if you know.
