4 متاح 4 • عرض الجميعWhich one prevails in case of conflict, RERA Rental Index or DLD Valuation Certificate?

1
Q: Dear All,
My rent renewal is due in April 2023 and currently paying AED 143000. The RERA Rental Index calculation shows an increase of 10%.
The landlord sent a letter (90 days prior) along with a DLD valuation certificate attached stating that the rent will be increased to AED 220,000 (a 50%+ increase) based on the assessment of the property.
Are there any options available to be able to contest this sizeable increase? (RDC will state that the landlord can use the valuation certificate to increase the rent now).
Many thanks for your help.

فرض زيادة في الإيجار لم يسمح بها مؤشر إيجار مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري
7
س: مرحبًا سيدتي.
أرسل لي المالك إشعارًا لزيادة الإيجار عند تجديد الإيجار قبل 90 يومًا من انتهاء العقد.
ومع ذلك، لا يُسمح بزيادة الإيجار وفقًا لمؤشر تأجير مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري، وعلى هذا النحو، فقد رفضت الزيادة وطلبت منه تجديد عقد الإيجار بنفس قيمة الإيجار كما في العام الماضي.
رفض وطلب مني الإخلاء عند انتهاء عقد الإيجار في 14 فبراير. الآن، يهدد بالمجيء إلى المنزل وإجباري على الإخلاء في 14 فبراير.
ما هي الخيارات القانونية الخاصة بي؟
أرغب في الاستمرار في العيش في هذا المنزل، ودفع نفس الإيجار كما في العام الماضي حيث لا يُسمح بأي زيادة وفقًا لمؤشر إيجار مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري.

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؟

Can the landlord increase rent according to the valuation certificate?




1
Q: Hello Everyone,
I know it has been discussed quite a few times; however, it's not clear. Can the landlord increase rent according to the valuation certificate?
My current rent is AED 71,400. When I check the RERA Rental Index, below is the text being shown:
When renewing real property lease contracts, the maximum percentage of rent increase for real property in the Emirate of Dubai is 5% of the rent of real property unit, where the rent is 11% to 20% less than the average rental value of similar units.
The rent for a two-bedroom apartment in Port Saeed ranges from 72,000 to 88,000 AED per year (excluding water, electricity, or any other fees). The increase amounts to 3,570 AED per year.
The landlord's valuation certificate states AED 85,000.
Therefore, my question is whether the rent can be raised to AED 85,000 using the valuation certificate, or if the increase should be limited to 5% since the valuation falls between 11-20%.

Is the compensation for notice period deducted on the basis of full salary or basic salary? 0
Hello,
I understand that if anyone wishes to resign without serving their full notice period, they are supposed to compensate the employer for the remaining time that they didn't serve the notice, also known as "notice Compensation".
Is this notice compensation deducted based on the full salary or on the basic salary?

Can I hold the delivery of goods to a buyer outside the UAE if he defaulted on payment? 0
I, as a UAE-based Seller, entered a sales agreement with a KSA-based Buyer. The Buyer defaulted on the LC payment, breaching the contract.
The goods are stuck at the port as they need original documents, which I am holding to recover the outstanding balance.
They later made a partial payment but now threaten to cash the PBG (UAE bank) I provided if don't release the document.
The contract mandates DIAC arbitration but lacks a governing law clause. I need advice on:
1. Which law applies to this dispute?
2. Where can I seek an injunction to prevent PBG encashment, given the Buyer’s bad faith and breach? Or should I send a letter to their bank with the brief above?
Kindly advise.

I purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi. Can I evict the tenant immediately if there is no Tawtheeq contact? 0
I recently purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi and agreed to honor the existing lease. After the transfer, I discovered that the lease is not a Tawtheeq contract, meaning it is not officially registered.
Since I am not receiving rent (as it was a non-refundable arrangement with the seller), I prefer not to issue a new Tawtheeq. I also want to avoid a formal notice to vacate to prevent disputes, as I plan to move in.
However, I have already informed the tenant that I will not be renewing the lease. I need legal advice on the implications of proceeding without a Tawtheeq contract.
What are my risks, especially if the tenant refuses to move out?
What legal actions, if any, can the tenant take in this situation?

Is a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications? 0
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?
