0
Q: Hi,
I just rented a studio and I found out that the electric water heater in the bathroom is not working. The owner is saying he will not fix it as the rent is also low.
It's been 2 days I shifted to this apartment. The agent also didn't tell me this issue, otherwise, I should have ignored this.
How to handle this issue?

المسؤولية عن صيانة الأعطال في شقة مستأجرة
1
س: أعيش في شقة أربع غرف في الديرة / دبي.
3 من أصل 4 غرف نوم لديها مشكلة تسرب مياه الصرف الصحي في مكان ما في السقف والرائحة كريهة للغاية. يرفض المالك إصلاح المشكلة على الرغم من أن عقد الإيجار الخاص بي ينص بوضوح على أنه يجب إصلاحه على حسابه.
لكي ألخص القصة، بعد أن رفعت عليه قضية في مركز النزاعات الإيجارية، مضى الأمر في مساره إلى أن وصل إلى قسم الشرطة ورفض المالك التوقيع في القسم على ورقة تشير إلى استعداده لإصلاح العطل.
قام مسؤول في بلدية دبي بزيارة الشقة وقدم تقريرًا إلى دائرة الأراضي والأملاك يؤكد على أن رائحة الشقة سيئة للغاية. أثناء ذلك رفضت دفع أي إيجار إلى المالك للضغط عليه كي يصلح ذلك.
لقد مضى 4 أشهر الآن وقد تراكم الإيجار إلى أن زاد على 100000 درهم. وقد رفع المالك دعوى للمطالبة بمبلغ الإيجار.
ما الذي يجب علي فعله؟ وكيف أمكنه أن يرفع دعوى ضدي في مركز النزاعات الإيجارية دون أن يطلب منه المركز أن يقوم بإصلاح الشقة أولًا؟!
هل يمكن أن أرفض أن أدفع لهذا المالك؟ أعتقد أنه من غير العادل أن أدفع!

Can I cancel my house sale contract without extra fees after personal plans changed? 0
Dear Lawyers,
I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August.
Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F.
The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee.
Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this?
Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?

عرض الجميعTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
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?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
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.

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.
