4 متاح 4 • عرض الجميعكيف يمكن إثبات دفع الإيجار وإخلاء العقار ضد القضية التي رفعها المالك؟
1
س: مرحبًا،
كنا نقيم في شقة صغيرة مقابل إيجار شهري وتم إخلاؤها في 31 يناير 2021. لقد دفعنا الإيجار بالكامل ولكن للأسف، ليس لدينا أي دليل على دفع الشهور نوفمبر وديسمبر ويناير.
الآن رفع المالك قضية ضدنا ويدعي أننا ما زلنا نقيم في العقار ولا ندفع لهم الإيجار. لقد أرسلنا لهم إشعار بالإخلاء عبر البريد الإلكتروني الخاص بي (غير المسجل في السجلات) مع إرفاق البريد الإلكتروني الخاص بزوجي.
لم نكن نعلّم أن الوثيقة التي وقعناها هي اتفاقية فرعية لأننا لم نر عقدًا من قبل. وبناءً على ذلك، قاموا برفع قضية ضدنا وسيتم فرض غرامة وإيجار علينا إذا تم تسجيل القضية.
لدينا جلسة استماع للتسوية ولكن المالك لا يوافق على التسوية لأنه يطلب منا التوقيع على نموذج رئيسي ينص على أننا أخلينا العقار للتو في التاريخ الحالي.
نحن بحاجة إلى السفر بشكل عاجل. هل سيتم فرض منع من السفر علينا؟
نريد تسوية القضية حتى لو سافرنا.
يرجى تقديم المشورة.

Can the eviction happen despite the reconsideration case by the tenant?


2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
We won an eviction case and appeal against a tenant. We filed for execution, and the tenant has filed a reconsideration case. The eviction date is 12th Feb, and the hearing date for the reconsideration case is 7th Mar.
1) Can the eviction happen on 12th Feb despite the reconsideration case?
2) Is our final right of eviction of the tenant based on the judgment of the Reconsideration case? If so, can we request an earlier hearing date for it?
The tenant fraudulently kept us away from the court proceedings in an offer to deposit case he filed before the eviction case and got a favorable judgment.
His basis is that he already has a judgment for an extension of Ejari which precedes the eviction judgment (i.e., an argument of Res Judicata).
The court recognizes our reply that the argument doesn't apply as the cause of action of both judgments is different.
The tenant has already extended his stay in the property by 8 months this year (post end date of Ejari) and has not paid rent either.
We served a 12-month legal vacating notice for sale as per law. How can we evict him at the earliest?

What can I do if my rental case judgment came with way higher amount than the original amount?

Q: I have a case related to rent where I had to pay 5,555 and 9,600 for the month (01/02/2023) that we stayed till the evacuation date (01/03/2023) plus the court fees. The total amount is 17,350.
Then he filed an execution order on (09/03/2023) and I received a document with the details, so I had 2 weeks to pay it off but I didn’t so they issued a letter to arrest the defendant on (30/03/2023) then on (09/11/2023) they issued a travel ban, I’m planning to pay it off now in installments.
However, when I went to check for the amount now it says I have to pay 34,000. They included the 5,555 plus the court fees and they calculated the amount of the rent from 14/12/2022 to 01/03/2023 which equals 24,618.
However, that doesn’t make sense because I only have to pay 15,155, excluding court fees, as stated in the letter I received on 09/03/2023.
So what do I do?
Do I have to appeal?

Can the owner of a company escape if there is a cheque execution and travel ban on him? 0
I raised a cheque execution case against a company and its owner and won. There is a travel ban on him. I was receiving installments for three months and now he stopped paying.
The court after request summoned him. In total, he paid only 30% of the owed money. I found that his company license is expired and also in the month his visa will expire.
Does he have any option to avoid payment?
Please note he was deceived by showing no money in his bank account and no assets in his name but he is running multiple businesses.
Also a month ago, he tried to convince me to lift the travel ban but I refused to do so. But he submitted a guarantee and left UAE.
Now the status shows he is back in the UAE and the travel ban imposed again. But after that, he stopped payment.
Is there a 1% chance of him not paying me the remaining money?
Is there a way he can leave the country through the Amnesty program or any of this sort?

Can a developer demand extra payment for a 30% size increase after handover? 0
Hello,
I purchased a one-bedroom off-plan unit in Dubai from a well-known developer under an SPA specifying an area of 801 sq. ft. I completed all payments as per the developer’s payment plan, and the unit was handed over to me without a Title Deed.
After taking possession, furnishing the unit, signing a tenancy contract, and making repeated follow-ups to obtain my Title Deed, the developer informed me, 45 days after handover, that the actual area was 1,041.41 sq. ft., a 30% increase from the original SPA terms.
To receive my Title Deed, they are now demanding payment for the increased size.
Key issues:
- Failure to notify me before handover about the 30% increase in area.
- The SPA allows for price adjustments for area variations but specifies that such adjustments must be reflected in the final installment, which I had already fully paid before handover.
- The developer has now filed a legal case through Dubai Courts, demanding payment.
I require legal advice based on RERA/DLD laws and the SPA.

As a partner who loaned money to the company, should I sue the company or my partner? 0
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!

عرض الجميعCan a debt agency access AECB reports without consent for a 15-year-old closed case? 0
Dear Respected Lawyers,
Subject: Request for Legal Advice Regarding Unlawful Practices by a Debt Collection Agency
I would greatly appreciate your advice and guidance regarding a troubling issue my colleague is facing with a collection agency.
The company has been contacting the employer, urging them to ask my colleague to get in touch with them regarding a supposed liability.
This claim is related to a 15-year-old closed dispute with a bank credit card, and the issue seems to stem from outdated and inaccurate information on the AECB report.
Our main concerns are as follows:
Unauthorized Access: The company is accessing her AECB report without her consent. She has never given permission for them to retrieve or view her personal financial information.
How is it possible for a third-party agency to openly access and track AECB reports, especially for a dispute that was resolved 15 years ago?

I was evicted from my apartment to be sold but it was gifted and rented at a higher price. What can I do? 0
I was evicted from my apartment after living there for five years. My landlord informed me a year in advance that the lease would not be renewed because he intended to sell the property.
Prior to this, he attempted to impose a rent increase that was not compliant with RERA regulations, which I refused to accept. He then served me with an official Dubai Court eviction notice, citing the need to take back the property for sale.
Five months after I moved out, I discovered the property was rented out at a much higher price. Upon further investigation, I found that the ownership was transferred as a "Gift" rather than a sale.
This makes it seem like the eviction was only to raise the rent rather than a genuine need to sell.
Do I have a valid case for wrongful eviction against my landlord?
Also, under Dubai law, does transferring ownership as a "Gift" hold the same legal grounds as selling in justifying eviction?

I invested money in a business but my partner is removing me out from partnership. Can I pursue legal action? 0
Hi
I'm an Irish citizen and a resident of the United Kingdom. I got investment fraud in Dubai. I invested money into a business with a Pakistani national guy in March 2024 via bank transfer into his business account.
Now he's giving back the money which I invested in business after 9 months. He's preparing a letter from a local lawyer to kick me out of the business. I do not have any other option than to take out at least my money.
But it's unfair to me that he used my money in business and took all the advantage.
Some people say to me that if you claim money or take legal action against him, it will take too much time and I need to travel to Dubai to appear in court because it is a civil matter. But I'm not a resident.
How can I follow the civil case there?
That's why my partner knows that I can not do anything and this case keeps running long time and in the end nothing happens. But I'm thinking that I will submit a complaint through my embassy and I also have a solicitor in the United Kingdom.

عرض الجميعI purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi. Can I evict the tenant immediately if there is no Tawtheeq contact? 0
I recently purchased a rented apartment in Abu Dhabi and agreed to honor the existing lease. After the transfer, I discovered that the lease is not a Tawtheeq contract, meaning it is not officially registered.
Since I am not receiving rent (as it was a non-refundable arrangement with the seller), I prefer not to issue a new Tawtheeq. I also want to avoid a formal notice to vacate to prevent disputes, as I plan to move in.
However, I have already informed the tenant that I will not be renewing the lease. I need legal advice on the implications of proceeding without a Tawtheeq contract.
What are my risks, especially if the tenant refuses to move out?
What legal actions, if any, can the tenant take in this situation?

What to do if you get terminated and denied gratuity for a minor mistake? 0
My brother has been working for a company for 11 years. In the last 3 weeks, he had an incident/accident and scratched a plane since he only had 1 person to assist him as the company was not hiring enough people.
Senior staff like him are working more to train inexperienced new hires which adds to their workload working almost 12 hours/day including travel to DWC.
The pilot said it was aesthetic and could be painted over but a police investigation ensued. Last week 3 managers and HR talked him down as the investigation concluded.
He was terminated immediately with only this month's pay and his 11-year gratuity will not be given by the company. It was not gross negligence or malicious intent, he just didn’t have enough people to help him.
He owned up to the mistake and reported the incident within 24 hours. Can he fight for the gratuity?

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address? 0
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.

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied? 0
A bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts due to nonpayment of a personal loan and credit card.
Is a travel ban automatically applied?
I looked on the Dubai Courts website, and it says the judge has issued a “reserved” order for my case.
Furthermore, when the bank emails, they threaten me with a travel ban. So I am assuming there is no travel ban issued (but I don’t know). I haven’t received any notice of a travel ban.
If there is a travel ban, how do I find out?
I have checked the Dubai police app, and there are no financial crimes against me.
Please advise if you know.
