5 متاح 5 • عرض الجميعRenting a villa after failing to sell it, even after offering it to the previous tenant?


4
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a landlord and gave notice (through a Notary Public) to the tenant to vacate the villa for personal use or to sell it one year ago.
The tenant vacated the villa after one year as per the notice. I failed to sell the villa after trying to sell it through multiple agents for the past two months.
I re-offered my previous tenant the villa for rent for one more year as I failed to sell it, through email (7 days ago). However, I have not received any response to this email.
Please advise whether I can proceed with renting the villa to another tenant as I am incurring losses by paying EMI, maintenance, etc.
Please also advise if the previous tenant can still ask for compensation.
Thank you in advance!

What can I do if the landlord rented the apartment after evicting me for personal use?




0
Q: My landlord served me a 12-month notice to vacate saying he wants to move in himself.
I know he will not move in and did this to rent the apartment at a much higher rate. I will vacate as per the notice.
If he uses the apartment for any purpose other than his own living, what legal options will I have?
Do I need to inform him of anything before I vacate?

الاعتراض على إنذار المالك بالإخلاء للاستخدام الشخصي لقيامه ببيع العقار


4
س: أرسل لي مالك العقار إشعارًا بالإخلاء مدته عام واحد ينص على إخلاء العقار للاستخدام الشخصي. لكنه باع العقار الشهر الماضي دون أن يخطرني حتى.
الآن، اتصل بي المالك الجديد وذكرني بإخلاء العقار وفقًا لإشعار الإخلاء المقدم من المالك القديم.
هل يجب علي إخلاء العقار؟
أم هل لدي فرصة للاعتراض على صحة إشعار الإخلاء على أساس أنه تم تقديم إشعار الإخلاء يفيد بالاستخدام الشخصي ولكن في الواقع، قام المالك ببيع العقار؟

Am I obligated to settle compensation for the rent difference after evicting a tenant at their request?




1
Q: Dear Lawyers,
I served an eviction notice to the tenant at his own request for repossession of my property. Unfortunately, due to my medical condition, I had to rent my property to a new tenant.
My former tenant is claiming compensation, which I am ready to settle, but I feel his claim is unfair.
He is claiming the difference between the old rental amount he was paying and the new rental amount contracted by me with the new tenant for my property, in addition to the moving expenses.
I believe it is only fair to pay the difference between the old rental amount and the new rental amount the former tenant is paying for the new property he has leased with his new landlord, plus the expenses he incurred for moving into his new property.
Please advise which of the above amounts I need to settle!

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)

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!

How can I claim money I lent to my cousin to start business and is not returning back? 2
My cousin who lives in Dubai took around AED 280000 from me on December 2023 for business and he told me that within one month he would return the money back with profits.
Now it's been almost a year he has not returned my money back. I have no written contract. The only proof I have is WhatsApp chats, videos, and voice messages of him that he received money from me and that he would return it back within one month.
In August 2023 I told him that if you don't return my money, then I would hire a lawyer and do a case. Then his father returned almost 20% of the amount back in August 2023 and told me the remaining amount I would receive from them by the end of November or December 2023.
But now they are not giving me the money and telling me to go to the police or hire a lawyer, file a case do whatever I want to do.
Kindly please advise me if hiring a lawyer in Dubai will be helpful or not. Will I be able to recover my money in Dubai in a legal way in such a case?

عرض الجميعWhat is the responsibility of the employee in case of leaving before the end of the notice period? 0
What is the responsibility of the employee?
The employment contract is set to conclude on 31st May 2025. The employee initiated discussions regarding a salary increment approximately 30 days prior, during which the management engaged in meetings with the employee but ultimately decided to maintain the current salary.
The employee subsequently chose not to renew or continue the employment, this decision having been finalized in a meeting held on 20th May 2025.
How does the notice period apply in this context?
Specifically:
1) Would the grace period (30 days after the contract/visa ends) be considered as fulfilling the notice period requirement?
2) Is the employee entitled to request a different salary during this grace or notice period?

Can I be sued for posting an honest 1-star review about an upsetting experience? 0
Hello,
I recently made a Google review (and gave 1 star) regarding a grooming gone wrong to my fur baby's long, beautiful coat. Everything was done badly and so wrong; it was so upsetting and disappointing.
The owner reached out and gave some free vitamins to my baby boy and even offered to share my résumé with his contacts because I am currently searching for a job.
After an hour, the owner called asking me to delete my review. I messaged him not to pressure me or force me into doing something I don’t want to do, and told him I didn’t expect he wanted me to delete the review in exchange for the vitamins he gave for my fur baby.
I updated my review and mentioned that I appreciated the gesture. But he called again, threatening that his business partner might file a case against me.
Can they really do that to me, even if I didn’t directly ask for the vitamins and I didn’t say any bad word against their company?
I just made an honest review based on an upsetting and frustrating grooming service.

Cont-1) as outlined in the termination notice.
Following a recent threatening message from her sponsor, in which she mentioned filing a police complaint, she proactively contacted Dubai Police for guidance.
They advised her to visit Jebel Ali Police Station to report the matter and seek assistance regarding the harassment.
Our concern is that if she returns the laptop prematurely, her work may be deleted or altered, and this could negatively impact my End of Service Benefits (EOSB) and her professional record, as her sponsor has a pattern of making unfounded accusations.
Here is the most recent message my friend received from her: “Good morning. Hi, I urgently need my laptop and keys from the cabinet. Send me the location, I will send CAREEM. I need my laptop and keys from the cabinets immediately. If you do not send the location to pick up my stuff, I’m gonna go to the police. Sorry, but you must return my stuff. My business cannot operate properly without my computer.” (COnt-2)

How can I remove a travel ban or avoid arrest if I left the UAE with an unpaid rent case? 0
In 2018, I was involved in a dispute concerning unpaid rent related to a property managed by [-----] under the jurisdiction of the Land Department. [----] proceeded with legal action, resulting in a civil case and the imposition of a travel ban.
A civil case had been reported in an Arabic-language newspaper. Not being fluent in Arabic, I missed the Land Department hearing, and the obvious outcome included an order for payment and a travel ban, but I had already left the country by that time.
questions:
Statute of Limitations: After how many years does such a civil case expire under UAE law, thereby allowing me to legally return to Dubai without facing arrest or enforcement actions?
International Travel: Am I currently at risk of arrest or extradition if I travel to non-GCC countries like India or Pakistan?
