Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
What is the rule on rental increases if the Rera Rental Index is not available, as is the case for our developer?

Thank you!

هل لمالك العقار زيادة الإيجار باستخدام تقييم دائرة الأراضي والأملاك بدلاً من مؤشر مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري؟
س: يحاول مالك العقار زيادة إلايجار بما يتجاوز مؤشر مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري، مستخدمًا تقييم دائرة الأراضي والأملاك كمعيار.
تسلسل الأحداث:
1. قبل 90 يومًا من تجديد عقدي، عرض عليّ المالك عقد إيجار جديد بزيادة 10% على إيجاري الحالي.
2. اعترضتُ على ذلك بمشاركة نتيجة مؤشر مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري، والتي أفادت بعدم وجود زيادة في قيمة الإيجار.
3. قرر المالك في هذه المرحلة إجراء تقييم إيجاري لدى دائرة الأراضي والأملاك.
4. يوم الجمعة الماضي، قبل 49 يومًا من انتهاء عقد إيجاري الحالي، أرسل المالك التقييم، والذي أظهر زيادة بنسبة 21% على الإيجار (أو بمعنى آخر، إيجاري الحالي أقل بنسبة 17.5% من هذا التقييم الحالي).
هل يحق للمالك فعل ذلك، وما الزيادة المسموح بها قانونًا في هذه الحالة؟

A tenant refuses to renew the tenancy contract with new conditions. What to do?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I sent a renewal notice to my Dubai tenant with more than 3 months advance.
In the renewal, I adjusted the rental increase as per RERA of 5% and requested a change in payment conditions from 4 to 2 cheques.
The tenant agreed to the new amount but did not agree to the new payment conditions because, according to him, the provisions to change the terms in the contract allowed by RERA were only suggestions and not enforceable.
Therefore, the contract renewal has not yet gone forward because we do not agree with his interpretation.
While consulting our options, RERA updated the rental increase for the area from 5% to 15% since the tenant is paying well below market price.
We sent the tenant a new proposal with the updated RERA-allowed increase of 15%, offering back payments of 4 cheques.
The tenant refused again, arguing that the new proposal is not applicable since we are now out of the 90-day previous notification window required.
Please advise our options!

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now?
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address?
Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me.
Case Type: Civil Case
Claim amount: 400,000
Paid: 65,000
Reason: Commercial agreement of supply
Emirate: Ajman
This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address.
I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000.
Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim.
According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim.
So I want to reopen the case file.
I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch.
1) How can I make that request?
2) What documents are required?
3) Chances of reopening of case?
4) Cancellation of arrest warrant
Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do?
I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment.
One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled.
They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them.
What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices?
It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome?
Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.

Hi,
I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year.

I have all the previous contracts signed by both parties, along with the Ejari for those contracts.

Can an employer post an employee’s photo on social media without their consent?
Hello,
Can an employer post an employee's photo on social media, LinkedIn or Instagram, without the employee's consent?
Secondly, the employer is forcing the employee to update the company details in the employee's profile.
I believe LinkedIn and Instagram are personal profiles and one cannot be forced to update the details. This photo was taken in the office.

My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and bounced cheque. How to follow up?
Hello.
My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and a bounced cheque. The client's company is registered as a virtual office in the Creative City Free Zone in Fujairah, so our case is filed there.
The client basically purchased some equipment from us, and his payment via bank transfer did not go through and was rejected. Then, when we deposited his security cheque after multiple attempts to contact and no answer, the cheque bounced.
The company is under his wife's name, and we have filed a case on the same.
The court has accepted our application, however, they have instructed the execution bureau to get the Emirates ID of this authorised signatory. The bureau is asking us to get it, and we have no way to do so, unfortunately.
Without the Emirates ID, the court cannot freeze the bank accounts or put a travel ban, etc.
What are our options here?
