4
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
My tenancy contract will expire in 4 months. I was just informed that the apartment has been sold to a new landlord.
The new landlord wants to impose a 15% rent increase upon renewal, even though the RERA index calculated a 5% increase.
If there has been a transfer of ownership, can a new landlord impose any rent increase they wish? Or should they still comply with the RERA calculator?
Imposing a big jump in rent increase could mean that new landlords can indirectly "evict" tenants with very little notice if they can't afford the newly imposed rent.

ما الذي يجب القيام به عند طلب المالك زيادة الإيجار عن مؤشر الزيادة؟
3
س: سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة،
يطلب مالك العقار زيادة في الإيجار تتجاوز إرشادات مؤشر الإيجارات الصادرة عن مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري، مع وجود أقل من 90 يومًا من نهاية عقد الإيجار الحالي.
لقد ذكرت أن التجديد يجب أن يتم بالإيجار الحالي والفترات الحالية حيث لم يتم إرسال إشعار التجديد قبل 90 يومًا على الأقل من نهاية المدة الحالية، ومع ذلك، فقد وافقت على زيادة الإيجار وفقًا لمؤشر مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري بحسن نية.
ومع ذلك، يذكر وكيل المالك أن المالك يمكنه أن يأتي بالتقييم من مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري والحصول على زيادة بنسبة 20% (بدلاً من 10% كما هو مطلوب حاليًا، و5% وفقًا لمؤشر مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري).
ما هي خياراتي؟

My current rent for a 1BHK is 42,000 AED. According to the rental index, there is a 2,000 AED hike, while my landlord is asking for an 18,000 AED increase.
May I know the maximum rent increase?

عرض الجميعRequest for legal guidance regarding employer harassment and premature asset retrieval demand (1) 0
Respected Law Team Members, I am writing to seek genuine legal advice and guidance for our friend regarding an ongoing issue with her employer.
On 23rd May 2025, she received a termination notice via WhatsApp from her sponsor, which clearly states that she is required to complete her handover by 20th June 2025.
Since receiving the notice, however, her sponsor has been repeatedly contacting her via WhatsApp and phone calls, pressuring her to immediately return the company laptop and office cabinet keys, despite the agreed-upon handover date.
In addition, she has been verbally accusing my friend and making threatening remarks, creating a hostile environment, and causing her emotional distress.
To clarify her legal position, she contacted MOHRE, who advised her to reshare the termination notice to the lady employer about the handover date (20th June 2025) as she outlined in the (Cont-1)

Can I get a new job and employment visa while under a false embezzlement case and travel ban? 0
Hello,
My previous employer filed a case against me for embezzlement and imposed a travel ban. I know for myself it was all a lie, but since the case is already filed and the police investigation is still ongoing, I need to find a job.
However, first, I am worried that my new employer will come to know I have an active case. Second, I am worried that I cannot get an employment visa.
Can someone help me?

Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment? 0
Hello sir,
Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment?
Our system doesn't allow us to issue an invoice unless the goods exist in our inventory. We also require this advance or down payment as confirmation of his order.
My customer is insisting on issuing him an invoice and says that this is required by UAE laws.

How can my kids learn about their father's condition without contacting his family? 0
Good morning,
I have two kids. Their father is in critical care and is not able to communicate, and we have been divorced for more than seven years.
The other side of the family is not communicating with the kids about the father's whereabouts for them to visit him, and they have not been in touch with the kids for the past two weeks due to family issues that took place in court regarding guardianship of the kids.
How can I find a way for our kids to know what is going on with their father and his condition without reaching out to them, to avoid any further escalation?
My daughter has tried to call them, but there was no response.
Please advise!
