1
Q: Hello,
I made an EOI payment for one project with a developer in Dubai. In the agreement, it says if the seller is able to allocate the unit similar to the buyer’s requirements, in this case, it’s not refundable.
However, I am not happy with the unit and it doesn’t meet my requirements. For example, the view of the unit and the fact that it is on the last floor, the last floor doesn’t work for me although I requested a high floor.
And the unit has a city view although I requested a garden/park view in the EOI.
At this point, I canceled the purchase and asked for a refund to which I got a response that according to the terms and conditions of the EOI, it is not refundable which is not correct.
My requirements for the unit do not match the unit they allocated. What are my rights?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Who is responsible to pay the admin fee for tenancy contract renewal in UAE?


2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am in the process of renewing my tenancy contract and the agent is claiming AED 1000 administration fee for the renewal. This was not stipulated in the contractual agreement that was signed for the current rental term.
Am I responsible to pay this admin fee?
From my understanding, the landlord is responsible for paying the admin fee for renewal. Is this correct?
Please note that this is for the combined tenancy agreement only and not for the EJARI. I have the responsibility to renew the EJARI.

مندوب مبيعات مضلِّل في عملية شراء عقار


2
س: بدايةً، أنا جديد في دبي وكنت أبحث عن فيلا هنا. وقد وجدت فيلا كنت مهتمًا بشرائها. ثم قررت أن أشتريها، وقد قدم البائع الخاص بالمطور العديد من الوعود بخصوصها.
أعطاني البائع سعرًا جيدًا، وخطة سداد تناسب احتياجاتي، بما في ذلك تنسيق للمناظر الطبيعية والحدائق، ورسوم خدمة مجانًا لمدة عام واحد والتكاليف الأخرى المتعلقة بداخل الفيلا.
طلبت من البائع تأكيدًا خطيًا مذكورًا فيه جميع الوعود التي تم تقديمها. أخبرني أنني سأحصل عليه فقط بعد سداد دفعة الحجز بنسبة 20٪ من سعر الشراء. لسوء الحظ أنا صدقته ودفعت 20 % للمطور + 4 % لدائرة الأراضي واللأملاك بدبي.
بعد أن طلبت عدة مرات تأكيدًا كتابيًا، لم أحصل على أي شيء. لقد تراسلنا عبر تطبيق الواتساب وما زلت أحتفظ بالرسائل الصوتية وسجل الرسائل حيث تحدثنا عن كل شيء.
لديّ رسالة صوتية وعدني فيها عدة مرات بأن كل شيء سيتحقق وأنني سأحصل على تأكيد كتابي في وقت قريب جداً مثلما وعد به في المقام الأول.
اضطررت إلى العودة إلى بلدي لأسباب تتعلق بالعمل ولهذا السبب، فقد أردت أخذ نموذج الحجز معي لقراءته والتوقيع عليه في المنزل، لكن البائع لم يعطني الفرصة.
أصرّ البائع على توقيع النموذج في أقرب وقت ممكن، وجاء إلى بهو الفندق مع استمارة الحجز في الساعة 10 مساءً.
ألقيت نظرة بإرهاق على استمارة الحجز ولاحظت بعض الأخطاء مثل خطة سداد غير صحيحة، لم يتم ذكر تنسيق المناظر الطبيعية والحدائق ورسوم الخدمة المجانية لمدة سنة واحدة أيضا.
أخبرني أن هذا هو مجرد نموذج حجز مؤقت وهو يتعلق بالحجز فقط، حتى لا تذهب الفيلا لشخص آخر مهتم بها.
واختتم بالقول إن جميع التغييرات التي تم الوعد بها ستتم كتابتها في عقد الشراء.
ومع ذلك، فقد قمت بطباعة نسخة من استمارة الحجز من طابعة الفندق. لقد سألت البائع عدة مرات إذا كان هناك أي عقبة في العقد، فأقسم لي بأغلظ الأيمان أنه سيتم تحقيق رغباتي بشأن الفيلا وأن كل شيء سيكون على ما يرام.
في اليوم التالي عندما كنت في بلدي الأصلي ألقيت نظرة فاحصة على استمارة الحجز. لقد تأكدت من أن كل شيء كان خاطئًا في النموذج: السعر خطأ، وخطة الدفع خطأ، ولم يتم ذكر جميع التغييرات التي كنت أتمناها.
بالإضافة إلى ذلك ، فإن سعر الحجز لم يكن 20 ٪ كما قال لي. كان مكتوبًا في استمارة الحجز أنه كان علي دفع 10٪ من سعر الشراء. بالطبع، لقد اشتكيت على الفور.
بعد حوالي أسبوع واحد تلقيت مكالمة من البائع. أخبرني أنه لم يستطع تغيير السعر لأنه كان بالفعل أفضل سعر، وأنه لا يمكنه تضمين رسوم الخدمة المجانية لمدة عام واحد، ولا يمكنه تغيير خطة الدفع كما تم الترتيب لها من قبل.
أخبرني أنه يستطيع فقط إدراج بعض التغييرات القليلة المتعلقة بالفيلا ولكن ليس كل شيء تم الاتفاق عليه من قبل.
لقد شعرت بخيبة أمل حقاً وطلبت استرداد نقودي مرة أخرى. الإفادة الوحيدة التي حصلت عليها هو أنني لا أستطيع استرداد نقودي، لأنه لا يمكن استرداده من خلال استمارة الحجز.
أشعر بأنه تم تضليلي حقاً ولم أفكر أبداً في أن هذا يمكن أن يحدث لي هنا في مدينة مثل دبي، وخاصة من قبل مطور كبير بمشروع ضخم مثل هذا. أشعر باليأس لأنني دفعت مبلغًا ضخمًا.
ماذا أفعل؟ لدي دليل على جميع رسائل الصوتية وسجل رسائل الواتساب بيني وبين البائع.
سأكون ممتنا لرد مفيد أو محام جيد جداً.

Unpaid service charges in shared ownership: Who bears responsibility?



2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a 50% owner of a leasehold property. The lease agreement does not specify joint or several liability. It only mentions "xxxx and yyyy" as the lessees.
We have not paid service charges for the last 3 years. The other co-owner left the house 3 years ago and ceased all communications with me. The co-owner is uncontactable.
The management company initiated an RDC execution case against me and my co-owner.
Am I liable only for 50% of the total due amount? Or am I liable for 100% of the due amount? Can you please inform the correct article of law that covers this issue?

Developer asks for full year's service charges despite purchase at year-end. Can I refuse?




2
Q: Hello,
I bought a property from a developer in Q4 2023 and got the keys handed over in November 2023.
They have returned to me to pay additional service charges for the entire year although I purchased the flat from the previous owner in the last quarter of the year.
I sent them multiple emails to explain the reason behind it and to ask them to send any legal statement showing that the new owners are responsible for paying additional fees, though this is unfair from my perspective as I have been the owner of the property starting from Nov 2023.
Some friends told me that they received a letter from their lawyers which they sent to the developer questioning this procedure and refusing to pay this.
Since I don't have such a statement to send to them as well, is there any opportunity for somebody to help me in writing one, hopefully getting the chance not to pay the additional fees?
Thanks!

How can I cancel my visa and POA for financial matters if I have a travel ban for company bounced cheque? 0
I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company.
During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge.
The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged.
No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case.
I need clarification on the following points:
How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company?
Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban?
Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options?
What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?
I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.
