6 متاح 6 • عرض الجميعCan the MOU with the property buyer be extended after expiry without my approval?
2
Q: Hello,
I have signed an MOU without any deposit and the MOU expired today. The broker and buyer did not turn up to close the deal and the MOU expired today.
I spoke to another broker but he said that while raising Form A, it's showing Contract F exists.
Earlier it was showing to him Active Contract F exists but now after the expiry of the MOU, it is showing that Contract F exists.
How can this expired MOU be still effective?

What can I do with the property seller who failed to do the transfer as per the MOU?



3
Q: Hello,
I signed a contract Form F with the seller through an agent on 1st Aug 2023. He was supposed to finish the transfer on 16th October but he did not do the transfer.
The property was 90% completed at the time of making the contract and he assured us that in one month he would finish the property. I sent him the legal notice on 16th Oct 2023 which is the last date of the MOU.
After the date of expiry of the contract, he is demanding more money. We agreed verbally on the new price but still, he avoids making a new MOU.
He puts all the clauses in his favor removing the main clause that if he backs out, there will be no penalty.

هل يمكن للمشتري الحصول على مبلغ التأمين إذا تراجع عن مذكرة تفاهم شراء عقار؟

3
س: مرحبًا،
ماذا لو تراجع المشتري عن شراء عقار بعد توقيع مذكرة التفاهم الداخلية التي صاغها البائع؟
كان هناك بند ينص على أنه سيتم إرجاع مبلغ التأمين عند السداد الكامل. النموذج F من دائرة الأراضي والأملاك لم يتم التوقيع عليه بعد.
في هذه الحالة، هل لا يزال بإمكاننا الحصول على مبلغ التأمين البالغ 10% أم لا؟

If I wait until the MoU expires, will the apartment purchase auto-cancel?


1
Q: Hello, Legal Advice Middle East
I am writing to seek your advice on my ongoing process of buying an apartment in Dubai Marina. I have signed an MoU with the seller, it is valid until 21 May 2024.
I have done the valuation process but the result was not reaching the selling price at all so I couldn't proceed with the mortgage. In good faith, I was seeking another way and was willing to conduct a 2nd valuation and pay for it again, and still, the result came out unfavorably again for the 2nd valuation.
This means I cannot get the mortgage from the bank at 80% of what I am hoping for. Therefore, I would like to ask the seller to either sell the apartment to me at the valued rate or cancel the MoU altogether and not proceed with the sale.
My questions: Can I just wait for the MoU to expire on 21 May without doing anything?
Would this cancel the MoU automatically if it's reached expiration?
Can the seller sue me and get the 10% deposit cheque amount?
What would you suggest I do in this case?

How to extend the MOU while unable to log in to the broker application due to system issues?


1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a registered broker, and due to some system issues, I'm unable to log in to my broker application. I kept calling the land department, but nobody responded in time.
This is why I couldn't extend the MOU, and it expires on Sunday. Will it still be valid on the next working day for transfer if both parties mutually agree?
Secondly, how can I activate it if I'm unable to access Dubai Rest? And is activation still required if it expires one day before the transfer?

What can I do if the landlord has not been responding to renew the commercial lease contract and Ejari? 0
Good day.
For the last 3 years, the landlord's office has not responded to renew the contract, so I contacted RERA for renewal.
The office doesn't respond to emails related to renewal, even though I started sending emails and reminders 2 to 3 months before expiry, and I have no choice but to contact RERA and send a notice.
Once the renewal was processed by law, the landlord's office delayed in releasing the Ejari. Since it is a commercial property, my renewals are related to a staff visa, and I have to pay delay penalties.
The landlord's office staff tried to take advantage of the Emirati owner, and no direct meeting was fruitful.
What is the law that safeguards expats and sorts out issues without mutual compromise as they try to force their terms to be acceptable by law and not supported by any documentation?

عرض الجميعDo I have to pay the value of training to the company in case of terminating the contract? 0
Salam,
My company has filed a complaint against me in MOHRE related to training fees.
This is the clause mentioned in my contract:
"The Second Party shall be obliged to pay back the value of the training (which is estimated at an amount of 10000 AED) when they terminate the employment contract based on their own free will (within One Year) from the date of commencement of their contract, without prejudice to the First Party's legal or contractual obligations. (the amount agreed on for the value of the training period must be commensurate with the employment period of the employee)"
My question is:
1. I served 11 months in the company. Can they demand the full 10,000 or it should be less due to 11 months (as per the last line of the clause)?
2. I didn't even get training from the company. I learned normally by working on projects with seniors. No training session was conducted for me. Should I still have to pay?
My case is in MOHRE.
Thanks

Can I petition for immediate eviction due to tenant violations and refusal to vacate after notice? 1
Dear Lawyers,
I have a question regarding an immediate eviction petition to the Urgent Judge. The tenant did not return the apartment on 26 January 2025, despite a 12-month legal notice that ended on 25 January 2025.
The tenant rejected all gas and fire prevention maintenance for 12 months. Al-Fanar Gas submitted a report with the tenant's signature and refusal after the tenant broke the gas detector.
The apartment was sold, and the new owner gave the tenant 90 days' notice. The tenant refused to show the new owner the apartment and ran away, according to building management.
The tenant ignored the 12-month legal notice, did not return the apartment, broke the gas detector, and refused gas and fire detection system maintenance.
The deal will be voided if the new owner cannot enter the property promptly. Can I petition the Urgent Matters Judge for quick eviction based on the tenant's violations?

How can I exit a partnership linked to an expired license and accumulating fines? 1
Good Day!
I am a partner in a trading license with two other individuals. Both of them were managing the business together as a cash-based operation without a bank account, while I was working elsewhere as an employee.
Now, one of the partners has passed away, and his parents are in conflict with the remaining partner, claiming he owes them money. However, the surviving partner insists that no money is owed and that everything is settled.
The license has now expired and cannot be renewed because the deceased partner’s family is not cooperating, leading to fines due to the inability to renew it.
Additionally, the remaining partner continues to conduct the same business, occasionally purchasing items under the company name.
As I am a low-salaried individual and cannot afford court fees, is there a way to remove myself from this situation, or are there any authorities who can assist me in this matter?
I am willing to help and provide whatever is required as evidence in this case.
Please advise!

A hair salon caused serious damage to my hair and scalp. What can I do to sue them? 0
I’m looking for legal advice regarding a hair salon incident that caused serious damage to my hair and scalp.
I visited a salon for a colouring treatment, during which two rounds of bleach, which is not what I booked in for, were given to me without proper approvals, and were applied back-to-back without a strand test or proper consultation.
As a result, I’ve been experiencing extreme hair breakage, daily hair loss, and ongoing scalp irritation. This has been especially distressing as I’m currently pregnant.
It’s now been over 20 days since the incident, and despite multiple polite follow-ups, the salon has ignored all communication.
I’m now exploring legal action to pursue compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused. I have full documentation, messages, and photos.
Any guidance on the best next steps or legal routes I can take would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
