Is it normal to sign a tenancy contract without the landlord's signature?
Hello,
Once my new tenancy contract is ready, is it normal for the agency to ask me for money and to sign the contract when there is no signature from the landlord? He is not from the UAE.
Should the new tenancy contract already be signed by the landlord first?
Dear Questioner,
As long as the agency signed the contract before you did, it is assumed that it has an agency or management contract from the owner.
If it does not have a certified agency or an official contract from the owner, it has no right to sign the contract or demand any financial sums from you.

Dear Questioner,
Some brokers ask for an additional fee when renewing the contract and require your signature without the owner signing the contract. This is due to your acceptance of these requests.
We advise you not to accept this if you can.
Ideally, the landlord should sign the tenancy contract first. This indicates their agreement to the terms and conditions before the tenant signs.
Once you have the landlord's signed copy, you can review it thoroughly and then sign your copy.
Politely explain that you'd prefer to see the landlord's signature first before proceeding.
If they have a contract with the owner for managing the building they own, what they tell you is correct.
It is not necessary for the owner to sign everything if they have handed over the building to a company managing it on their behalf and there is a contract between the parties.
It is not typical for an agency to ask for money and have you sign a contract without the landlord's signature in advance.
It is important to ensure that the landlord has signed the contract first before you sign it. This helps protect both parties and ensures that all terms and conditions are agreed upon by all parties involved.
You may want to clarify this with the agency and request that the landlord sign the contract before proceeding.
