What if landlord didn't inform of rent increase and offer and deposit case rejected?

Hi,

My tenancy contract expired last week, and I filed an offer and deposit case with DLD because the landlord had not informed me of the rent increase 90 days earlier, and the RERA calculator also stated no rent increase was due.

The offer and deposit case has been rejected due to no response from the landlord. What are the next steps? Do I need to file anything further?

Thanks!

Dear Questioner,

Anyway to continue with the tenancy contract, you have to get it renewed. Since the landlord didn't accept the offer, you have to file a suit for renewal of the tenancy contract.

Submit adequate proof in order to establish your side.

If you need further clarification, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Dear questioner,

You are required to file a case in RDC for renewal, then the case will be decided in your favor through the judge because you have the right to get the apartment contract renewed unless you were not defaulting.

If you need our assistance in your matter, please share your WhatsApp number.

Hello,

The offer and deposit file is a formal procedure carried out by the tenant to demonstrate their status and that they are not late in paying the rent, therefore, there is no harm to you whether the landlord accepts or rejects it, as you have taken the legal route.

The next step is if you wish to obtain an Ejari, you can file a lawsuit obligating the landlord to provide you with the lease agreement, which is largely guaranteed as I mentioned.

If you do not wish to obtain the lease agreement, a renewed contract will automatically be enforced by law as long as you have committed to paying the rent on time.

Dear Questioner,

If your offer and deposit case filed with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) regarding your tenancy contract in Dubai was rejected due to no response from your landlord, you have several options to pursue.

The Dubai rental market is regulated by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), and tenants have rights under the law, especially concerning rent increases and contract renewals.

Here are the steps you can take:

- Review the Rejection Notice:

Carefully review the reasons for the rejection of your case. Understanding why your case was rejected is crucial for determining your next steps.

- Consult with RERA:

Since the case involves a rent increase and non-communication from the landlord, consulting directly with RERA could provide guidance. RERA has mechanisms in place to resolve disputes between landlords and tenants.

- Dispute Resolution Center:

If you believe that your rights as a tenant have been violated or if there's an unfair rent increase, you can escalate the issue to the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre (RDSC), which is the judicial arm of RERA.

The RDSC can mediate and adjudicate in rental disputes. You'll need to file a claim and provide all relevant documents, such as your rental contract, evidence of payment, communication with the landlord, and any other supporting documents.

- Gather Evidence:

Collect all communications with your landlord regarding the rent increase and contract renewal, including any emails, messages, or letters. This evidence will be crucial in your dispute resolution process.

If you need the lease contract, you can file a case against him to compel him to sign the contract with the previous amount.

Thanks, Ahmed!

The DLD said to wait for him to file the case, but I have some conflicting information suggesting that I should file a case myself.

What they said to you is true, and you can also file a case.
