7 متاح 7 • عرض الجميعA tenant is refusing to vacate commercial property in Dubai - what can I do?


1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I purchased a commercial property office in Al Barsha Heights Dubai in May 2023. It was rented and an eviction notice was issued on December 19, 2023. The tenancy contract/Ejari expired on April 24, 2023.
The tenant agreed and signed in the addendum terms that he would send a written request to the owner to renew the contract 45 days before the expiry date and that he would pay the rent as per the RERA review.
However, he has not sent any official email to the previous owner or the new owner to renew his contract/Ejari. One month has passed since then.
Meanwhile, the previous owner has sent emails to the tenant from her registered email stating that she will not renew the tenancy contract after it expires on April 24, 2023, and that he should vacate the office on the expiry date.
She also informed the tenant that the office has been sold. The tenant is now living in the office without renewing the contract and is saying that he can live there until December 18, 2023, as per the eviction notice.
In this situation, what action can I take as the new owner?

Do you have to send the tenant a new eviction notice after purchasing property?

Q: I purchased a villa in Jan 2023 which had a 12-month vacating notice by the previous owner for the reason of selling the property (tenant to vacate 30th June 2023).
The tenant now informs me that he is not obliged to vacate as the reason for vacating is no longer valid since the property is sold and I am the new owner.
Now the tenant is mentioning that he believes a fresh notice needs to be given with another 12 months' notice.
When I called the RDC of RERA, they mentioned that the new owner needs to give fresh notice.
I want to understand the below:
1) Do I need to give fresh notice of 12 months to my tenant?
2) Is the eviction notice sent by the previous owner still valid?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
As a new owner, should I send a legal eviction notice referring to the notice served by the previous owner, especially when the tenant has agreed to vacate the property in the lease renewal after the previous notice was served?
The tenant is now changing their mind and saying that the agreement to vacate the property was on the rental contract with the previous owner and that what was agreed with them does not apply to the new owner.

هل صحيح أنه إذا أردت شراء عقار مستأجر، يجب عليّ إرسال إشعار إخلاء جديد؟

0
س: مرحبًا،
أرغب في شراء عقار ولكن يوجد مستأجرة بالداخل. تم إعطاؤها إشعار إخلاء في فبراير 2023، لكن عقد إيجارها ينتهي في أكتوبر 2023.
تسير المعاملة بشكل جيد، بحلول ذلك الوقت يجب أن أكون مالكًا للعقار ونيتي هي الانتقال والعيش فيه.
ومع ذلك، اتصلت بدائرة الأراضي والأملاك في دبي وأخبروني أنه في حالة قيامي بالشراء، فسأحتاج إلى تقديم إشعار إخلاء جديد، مما سيدفع المستأجرة لمدة 12 شهرًا أخرى.
في هذه الحالة، لن أشتري هذا العقار وأبحث عن عقار شاغر.
يبدو أن المستأجرة مستعدة للانتقال، ولكن قد تكون هناك دائمًا بعض المواقف غير المتوقعة، وفي هذه الحالة قد تمدد.
لذلك، يسعدني المخاطرة ببقائها حتى فبراير من العام المقبل، ولكن ليس لمدة 12 شهرًا أخرى من لحظة شرائي للعقار.
أرجو أن تخبرني ما هي خياراتي مع هذه الشقة، وكيف يمكنني تقليل مخاطر بقاء المستأجر لفترة أطول؟
شكرا لك!

هل يمكنني إخلاء المستأجر عندما أشتري عقارًا جديدًا بقصد تأجيره بسعر أعلى؟


2
س: مرحبًا،
هذا هو وضعي الحالي:
لقد اشتريت للتو عقارًا، وأصدر المالك السابق إخلاءً بسبب نية البيع، ساريًا حتى 9 نوفمبر 2023. وقد أرسلته محاكم دبي، وأقر المستأجر السابق بذلك.
يرفض المستأجر الجديد المغادرة وقال إنني يجب أن أقدم لهم إشعارًا جديدًا لمدة 12 شهرًا.
لا أريد إرسال إشعار جديد، حيث لا أخطط للعيش في العقار، أخطط لتأجيره (يدفعون 42 ألف درهم إماراتي أقل من السوق ولا يغطون حتى الرهن العقاري) لبضع سنوات قبل الانتقال إليه.
أسئلتي:
أ) هل يمكنني إرسال خطاب قانوني من الكاتب العدل، بالإشارة إلى الإشعار السابق الذي لا يزال ساريًا، من محاكم دبي؟
ب) إذا كان الأمر كذلك، فهل يمكنني إخلاءهم قانونيًا في التاريخ المتفق عليه، وهل ستكون هيئة التنظيم العقاري في صالحي؟
ج) إذا غادروا، هل يمكنني تأجير العقار؟
لم أذكر أبدًا نية الانتقال في الإشعار، حيث كان إشعار المالك السابق هو "نية البيع".

هل الإشعار القانوني للمالك السابق بالإخلاء ساري المفعول للمالك الجديد؟


4
س: سيدي/سيدتي العزيزة،
اشتريت شقة في يوليو، وأرسل المالك السابق إشعارًا قانونيًا في نوفمبر، يفيد بأنه يريد بيع الشقة.
انتهى العقد في سبتمبر. هل الإشعار القانوني لا يزال ساريًا للمالك الجديد؟ يرفض المستأجر المغادرة، ورفضت شيك الوديعة الأمنية لأنني أريد الانتقال في نهاية فترة الإشعار.
هل يجب أن أقدم له إشعارًا آخر؟

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.

Mold in apartment due to construction fault: Can I get compensation? 0
Hi everyone,
I rent an apartment. After two days in the apartment, water started leaking from the ceiling.
It turned out to be a fault in the building's construction, which caused condensation in the false ceilings. When the panels were demolished, it was found that they were all full of mold.
The building manager has started work, but the apartment is no longer habitable.
Should the landlord compensate me for the lack of peaceful enjoyment of the property?

New owner in Dubai with no Ejari and previous tenant: What are his rights? 0
Dear Sir/Madam,
I recently purchased a studio flat in Dubai that was previously tenanted under a Tenancy Contract from November 2022 to November 2023.
However, there is no registered Ejari to establish a tenant-landlord relationship in the Dubai Government record.
The previous landlord had given the tenant a year's notice to vacate the flat, which was given six months ago. Now that I have purchased the flat, I have asked the tenant to replace the cheques, but she has refused to cooperate.
Can you please advise me on whether I am obligated to continue the Tenancy Agreement signed by the previous owner, given the absence of an Ejari?
Alternatively, when can I tell her to vacate the flat, or do I have to wait until November 2023?
Secondly, I would like to know if I need to serve the tenant with an eviction notice again to vacate the flat. If so, for how long is the remaining period valid, or do I need to issue a new eviction notice of one year?
I would appreciate your prompt response.
Many thanks!
Kind Regards,

Hello,
Can an employer post an employee's photo on social media, LinkedIn or Instagram, without the employee's consent?
Secondly, the employer is forcing the employee to update the company details in the employee's profile.
I believe LinkedIn and Instagram are personal profiles and one cannot be forced to update the details. This photo was taken in the office.
