هل يعتبر إشعار زيادة الإيجار قانونيًا إذا تم إرساله للمستأجر قبل 60 يومًا من انتهاء العقد؟
س: لقد تلقينا خطابًا من المالك (قبل 4 أو 5 أشهر من انتهاء العقد) يوضح نيته في زيادة الإيجار وفقًا لمؤشر الإيجار بالإضافة إلى الرسوم الإدارية.
لم يذكر الخطاب المبلغ الفعلي الذي سيتم زيادته (إنه خطاب مكتوب تم تقديمه لنا من خلال الأمن).
الآن وبعد مرور أقل من 60 يومًا على نهاية العقد، تلقينا خطابًا يشير إلى زيادة بنسبة 15% وهو الحد الأقصى وفقًا للمؤشر.
سؤالي هنا هل زيادة الإيجار صحيحة حيث أن الزيادة الفعلية تم إبلاغنا بها بعد فترة ال 90 يومًا؟
السؤال الثاني، إذا لم نتفق على الإيجار الجديد، هل سيتم تجديد عقدي تلقائيًا حسب الإيجار القديم أم الإيجار الجديد؟

Is an email legitimate for adding terms not mentioned in the tenancy contract?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I want to rent an apartment in JVC, and the real estate managing the building sent me the contract. After reading it, I noticed there is a clause stating that pets are not allowed.
There is no clause about maintenance fees and whether they are covered (although the agent mentioned cats are allowed and maintenance is free). Also, there is no clause stating that the rent increase follows RERA guidelines.
When I went to negotiate, the manager said we cannot change the contract but offered to send an official email stating that cats are allowed, maintenance is free, and the rent increase complies with RERA.
I haven’t signed the contract and want to know if the email is legitimate and if I can use it as proof if needed for dispute resolution.
Thanks in advance!

عرض الجميعHow can I refund the amount of online tickets in Dubai for fraudulant misrepresentation?
Last Friday, I was booking tickets for the Miracle Garden on some Dubai tickets website, and on the OTP page, it showed 225 to be paid on my phone. The otp was added automatically, and I couldn't read the message properly. It turns out 4,225 got deducted from my account.
I immediately called the bank, and they said they can't reverse the transaction, fill out the dispute resolution form, etc. Even tho the transaction was in process today, the transfer shows complete.
Is there a way to get it back?
I registered an online complaint with the Central Bank and cybersecurity. I really need the money with my rent coming up, please guide me.

What to do if someone impersonated an employee in the company I own and got mobile lines and phones?
Someone impersonated an employee in the company I have owned since 2012 and extracted 18 mobile lines in addition to several iPhones.
I was surprised that the company cut off our landline and mobile communications on the pretext that he was monitoring a debt of 167,000 dirhams.
This person was arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to deportation. However, the telecommunications company is still demanding from my company and pursuing me because of this debt that we are not to blame for.
How can this matter be resolved?

How can victims file a group case for fraud, bounced cheques, and misuse of credit cards?
Hello,
I would like to ask for legal advice regarding a fraud case in Abu Dhabi involving multiple victims. The suspect issued bounced cheques, received AED with a promise to exchange it into IDR but failed to deliver, misused other people’s credit cards, and operated an unlicensed travel/tour business.
Many clients paid for Umrah or vacation packages that never happened. The total loss is significant, and many victims have evidence such as WhatsApp chats, bank transfers, and bounced cheques.
We believe this involves a breach of trust and embezzlement. We would like to know if we can file a group case, what legal steps to take, and the cost of legal representation.
Thank you!

Can a client deposit a security cheque due to site delays, despite 50% of the work being done?
Hello,
I am currently employed as a subcontractor to work on a project in Dubai.
As a general practice, I have provided a security cheque against the advance payment, and the client is now threatening to deposit the cheque even after completing more than 50% of the works due to various delays on site.
Is this legal? What steps can I take to protect myself?

I purchased a tour voucher from a holiday agency in Dubai and could not use due to a visa issue. Can I still claim it?
I purchased a tour voucher from a holiday agency in Dubai in 2023 worth AED 4239.00, but was not able to use it due to a visa problem.
I have constant email and communication through phone with them, and they informed me back then that my voucher will be available and has no expiration date that I can use anytime I want.
Now I wanted to use it, so I called them last Saturday, 31st May 2025, and they told me it has already expired due to the new policy.
Can I still claim and ask for my money back?

Landlord cashed my rent but won’t renew Ejari unless I accept a higher deposit. What should I do?
Hello,
I had a rental dispute case with my landlord. Based on the judgment, I paid the entire rent to the landlord, which the landlord has already cashed.
He is not issuing the Ejari because he wants to increase the security deposit by 10% every year, which I am not accepting. I have already given the 5% security deposit.
The landlord is not accepting it. He is forcing me to sign a new agreement, otherwise he will not renew the lease agreement.
Please let me know what I should do.
