س: سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة، قام مستأجر لدينا في دبي بتأجير شقتنا الاستوديو من الباطن للعزاب (أربع إناث يقيمن في وحدة الاستوديو). لقد أكدنا ذلك أيضًا من خلال التفتيش مع الحكومة وأكدوا أن هناك بالفعل أربع إناث يعشن هناك وقدموا لنا تقريرًا. كم من الوقت يستغرق الإخلاء وكسر العقد مبكرًا؟ بالإضافة إلى ذلك، هل يستطيع المستأجر المطالبة بالتعويض من المالك؟

Q: Greetings, I have a tenant who has not paid his rent for over 1 year. He promises to pay but nothing happens and his checks bounce every time. I have also received warnings from building management that he is subletting the apartment without my knowledge or approval. He has promised to move out, but he hasn't done that either. What can I do the fastest to get him out of the premises? I live in Sweden so I have a property manager but he has also stopped answering my messages and phone calls since 2 months ago. Thank you in advance!

Q: Hi, My tenant has not paid the full installment of the last rent payment—AED 5000 left. He hasn't paid the last two months of the Empower bill, and it's now disconnected. I have a cheque bounce report from the bank due to insufficient funds. Additionally, I caught him overcrowding the unit without my permission. Although he promised to leave on Nov 30 (the last day of the Ejari contract), the Ejari has expired, and he is still in the apartment. Do I need to send him a 30-day notice, or can I request an eviction notice? Is there any 3-day notice?

Q: The tenant is not paying and subletting nor getting utilities connected in their name. He also changed the door lock after moving in. His security cheques and rental cheques are bouncing & he knows that he will get a. notice so he is prepared for that too. He is part of a tenancy scam where these people pay the first month's rent as cash then the security deposit post-dated cheque which gets bounced. Can we file a lawsuit directly or do we have to first send a notary notice for vacating and cheque bounce? Can one notice serve both? And can we go to our flat and get details of those staying there? Please advise. They also changed locks and only last month Ejari was signed.

Q: Hi, I have leased out a shop in Dubai, but due to huge financial losses and my husband's job loss, I can't afford to pay the rent. Meanwhile, my landlord has filed a case for eviction and payment of rent. Right now, my condition is getting better as my husband has got a job and is ready to pay the rent in installments. Can I pay in installments and hold the shop even if the judgment goes against me?

Q: The tenant refuses to give rental cheques to the agent or pay the renewal fee specified in the contract. He is forcing the landlord to directly renew the agreement without any agent in between, and the landlord is uncomfortable dealing with him directly. The tenant submitted a renewal contract in RDC with an offer and deposit case with modified terms and conditions, and removed the addendum, which is an integral part of the existing contract. Parallelly, he submitted an Ejari request to the landlord for approval. The landlord rejected his offer and deposit request at the RDC portal due to non-compliance with the existing contract. Accordingly, his Ejari request was also rejected. Since then, the tenant has not approached the landlord for renewal. The landlord is willing to renew the contract without any change in the existing contract and addendum. How can the landlord secure the renewal cheques and conclude the contract? Can he ask the tenant to vacate the apartment? Please advise
