س: مرحبًا، لقد قدمنا إخطارًا موثقًا قانونيًا بالإخلاء إلى المستأجر لدينا لأننا نعتزم بيع ممتلكاتنا. المشترون المحتملون يطلبون رؤية الوحدة، ونقدم دائمًا إشعارًا لمدة ساعتين كحد أدنى للرؤية، لكن المستأجر لدينا صعب ويقيد النطاقات الزمنية لفترات قصيرة بشكل غير واقعي، لا عطلات نهاية الأسبوع، لا أمسيات... إلخ. من الصعب جدًا تنظيم الرؤية. ما هي حقوقنا؟

Q: Hi, We have an apartment that we are trying to sell and we also have a tenant living there. Her contract is until the end of May 2023. We sent her an eviction notice through notary public on Dec 2022 and she has 1 year to vacate the apartment. She wants to extend her contract from May to Dec as she is still allowed to stay til December as per notary notice. However, we are trying to stop her extension as she has bounced cheques, and she has been very uncooperative with agents viewing the apartment which is delaying the process of selling the apartment. What can I do with this?

س: لقد جددت للتو عقد الإيجار الخاص بي، وفي الوقت الحالي أبلغتني صاحبة العقار أنها تريد بيع الفيلا وتريد من وكيلها ترتيب موعد لمعاينتها. أنا أعمل من المنزل ولديّ طفل ورضيع في المنزل. نتوخى الحذر الشديد بسبب الوباء ولست مرتاحًا للغرباء الذين يدخلون ويخرجون من المنزل أثناء فيروس كورونا، ما هي حقوقي؟ لا يوجد شيء في العقد يتعلق بالمبيعات أو المعاينة.

Q: Hello, I am buying an apartment to live in. The only problem is that the apartment is currently rented, and the tenant's contract will end at the end of November. We talked with her, and she is willing to leave earlier. The real estate agent just sent me the contract between the current owner and her, which states that: "The landlord has to submit 60 days' written notice prior to the end of the contract to the tenant to inform them of any changes in the rent or terms and conditions (including vacating notice) of the tenancy contract." So, if I buy this apartment, will the rules stated in the contract between them apply to me as well? In the draft of Contract F, we also wrote that upon the completion of the transfer, the seller undertakes to send a notice directly to the tenant, in accordance with Clause 4.3 of the tenancy agreement, providing a minimum of 60 days' notice. Per Clause 4.3, the tenant is expected to agree to vacate the unit. Could this be enough? Thank you!

Q: Dear Lawyers, I had been living in a house with an expired tenancy contract. The house was sold, and the security deposit was returned to me. Prior to the transfer, I had verbally informed the previous owner that I wanted to leave. Ten days after the transfer to the new owner, I vacated the premises. The new owner is now asking me for compensation. Does he have valid grounds to sue me, since my tenancy contract had expired and I didn't sign one with the new landlord?
