3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميعحق المستأجر في رفض زيادة الإيجار بعد تقديم إنذار قانوني
2
س: قمت بإرسال بريد إلكتروني إلى المستأجر بأنني أريد زيادة الإيجار الذي كان أعلى مما هو مذكور في مؤشر الإيجارات، قبل أكثر من 90 يومًا من انتهاء العقد.
رد عليّ المستأجر قائلاً إنه لا يريد تجديد عقد الإيجار. والآن عندما تبقى أقل من شهر على انتهاء العقد، وصلتني رسالة بالبريد الإلكتروني منهم مفادها أن العقد سيتم تجديده بنفس القيمة.
هل يمكن للمستأجرين تغيير رأيهم حتى بعد تقديم إشعار بعدم تجديد عقد الإيجار؟
بالإضافة إلى ذلك، حصلت على شهادة تقييم الإيجار والتي تبين أن الإيجار يزيد بنسبة 13٪ عن قيمة الإيجار الحالية.
فهل يمكنني زيادة الإيجار إلى المبلغ المذكور في الشهادة أم يمكنني زيادة 5٪ فقط؟

هل يستطيع المستأجر رفض زيادة الإيجار بعد إرسال الإخطار القانوني له في الوقت المحدد؟

2
س: مرحبًا،
فيلتي مؤجرة منذ أغسطس 2018 بمبلغ 155000 سنويا، وتم الاتفاق على الدفع بشيكين، وتم تسجيل إيجاري في 2018.
في أغسطس 2020 (بتوقيت فيروس كورونا)، كنت خارج دولة الإمارات وطلب مني المستأجر خفض الإيجار إلى 142000 وعرض دفع دفعات الإيجار الشهرية عن طريق التحويل البنكي.
نظرًا لحالة فيروس كورونا، قبلت عرضه عبر البريد الإلكتروني ومنذ ذلك الحين، يدفع المستأجر الإيجار شهريًا من خلال التحويلات البنكية.
في أبريل 2022 (أي 90 يومًا على التجديد في أغسطس 2022)، أرسلت إليه بريدًا إلكترونيًا لمراجعة الإيجار مع زيادة القيمة الإيجارية للفيلا الخاصة بي.
ومع ذلك، لم يوافق المستأجر واستمر في القول إنه لا توجد زيادة في إيجار الفيلا الخاصة بي. تبادلنا العديد من رسائل البريد الإلكتروني. ولم نصل لنتيجة.
الآن في أكتوبر 2022، حصلت على شهادة تقييم الإيجار من دائرة الأراضي والأملاك في دبي والتي تنص على أن قيمة الإيجار الحالية هي 200000.
سأكون ممتنًا لنصيحتك حول كيفية المضي قدمًا في زيادة الإيجار، وما هو موقفي القانوني في هذه القضية.
لم يتم تجديد عقد الإيجار وإيجاري رسميًا خلال السنوات القليلة الماضية.

The landlord wants to increase rent above RERA Index. How to renew my contract?



2
Q: My landlord was asking for an unjustified rent increase of 9K, while the RERA calculator showed 3K. He was threatening to go through the Rent Valuation process, however, he only gave me a notice period of 83 days.
According to Dubai Decree No 43 of 2013 and Law No 33 of 2008, landlords are required to provide a 90-day notice period before making any changes to the rental contract, including increasing the rent amount.
Failure to comply with this notice period entitles the tenant to refuse the rent increase.
As the current contract is coming to an end by the end of next week, I have made several attempts to reach out to my landlord and his real estate agent to reiterate my interest in extending the contract and collecting the rental cheques at the old prices.
Also, I kindly requested that they provide me with the contract as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I have not received any response thus far, and considering that this week is a holiday week, I do not know what to do.
Sincerely,

عرض الجميعWhat can I do if my tenant moved out without notice after serving him rent increase notice? 2
I own a property in Dubai and we issued a 90-day notice to the tenant to advise of the rent increase.
The tenant accepted and confirmed they would be renewing the tenancy agreement.
Before they signed the new tenancy agreement they moved out without giving any notice.
What are my rights in this scenario?

As a partner who loaned money to the company, should I sue the company or my partner? 1
Dear Lawyers,
I am a 50% partner in a company. I had given a 2M AED loan to the company about 10 years ago. There are expert reports and bank records to prove the loan.
The company does not have any bank balances or assets. Should I start a lawsuit against the company and demand 2M AED, or should I start a lawsuit against the other 50% partner and demand 1M AED?
One benefit of suing the company is that I can obtain an acknowledgment of debt, and later in an execution case, I can issue a certificate of solvency to have the other partner arrested.
However, suing the other 50% partner directly would include their name in the executive writ. Please guide me!
(I believe all necessary legal information is provided here. If something is missing, I can provide additional details here.)

عرض الجميعCan the employer force the housmaid to work for unlimited hours without rest? 0
Hi
I'm a nanny, and at the same time, I work as a housemaid (khadama) here in the house. I work, but as I know, the nannies and housemaids have different rights, and my employer doesn't give me rest.
My work starts at 7:30 am and then finishes at 10 pm or less. It depends on whether the baby is asleep or what time they will take on me if not yet asleep. Is this right?
Also, at the time of eating, I'm still working because the baby is with me, so I just let her sit in her chair. That's how I eat.
Please answer me. I want to know my rights.
Because if I can leave during the 6-month probation, I want to take it if the employer is this kind. I don't know.
They are also expats, but they don't follow the rules of the UAE regarding a housemaid.

My previous organization has not yet released EOSB because I contacted a client. Is this legal? 0
I recently joined a new organization in the Hamriyah Free Zone, and my previous organization has not released my end-of-service benefits.
The HR has instructed the finance team not to do so because I had contacted one of their clients.
In my DMCC contract, there is no Non-Compete clause, but the offer letter has one, and now they are not releasing the end-of-service.
Is this legal? What are my rights?

How to file a case against my former company for unpaid salary I was not on their visa? 0
Dear Legal Advice Middle East,
I hope you are well.
I am seeking legal advice regarding an unpaid salary issue with my former employer, [-----]2 LLC. I was employed with them from December 4, 2024, to January 7, 2025, on a monthly salary of 5,000 AED.
However, I only received a partial payment of 2,473 AED on February 24, 2025. The remaining 2,527 AED is still unpaid.
I submitted a complaint to MOHRE on March 2, 2025, but I am unable to proceed further through their official channels.
This is because I was working under the visa of my previous employer, [---] LLC, and not under [----]’s sponsorship.
As a result, I do not meet the criteria to file a labor complaint via the MOHRE app or hotline.
Given this situation, I would appreciate your guidance on how I can legally pursue the recovery of my remaining salary, considering the complications related to my visa status during the employment.

What notice to follow while resigning if there is contradiction, the company contract or MOHRE contract? 0
I'm trying to resign from my company and found out there's incorrect information between my employment contract, my government contract, and the employee handbook.
I was under the impression of having a week's notice period but I'm being told it's 3 months and I'm losing a month's worth of salary.
On top of that, it's showing a non-compete clause for the same industry. I'm trying to change companies in the same industry, how much of an issue is that?

عرض الجميعCan I cancel my house sale contract without extra fees after personal plans changed? 2
Dear Lawyers,
I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August.
Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F.
The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee.
Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this?
Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?

Tenant always late with payments, hasn't renewed contract. What to do? 2
Hello,
I have a tenant who is always late with their payment. Their renewal was supposed to be last December 2023.
Currently, they have not signed any new contract, provided any new cheques, and have stayed for three months from December until now without paying rent.
Additionally, I just discovered that they have sublet the apartment with partitions, which is clearly stated as not allowed in the old contract.
Please let me know what should I do legally!

How can I get a UAE visa for my mother to the UAE if she has scars on lungs from TB? 1
Good morning Sir,
Actually, I tried to take a partner visa for my mother since I didn’t meet the criteria to sponsor her. Unfortunately, she didn’t pass the medical test and was deemed unfit.
We went for a second medical test all tests were negative but she still didn’t pass due to the scars on her lungs and we were forced to cancel her visa with a permanent ban and send her back to India.
Since I am the only child and there’s nobody else to look after her coz my father already passed away in August last year. Is there any way possible to bring her back?
I tried to take a visit visa but got rejected. So kindly advise me on what can be done or where to apply!
