4 متاح 4 • عرض الجميعCan I get the rent cheques back if I decided to cancel the tenancy shortly after signing the agreement?




0
Q: The landlord has entered and signed a 1-year tenancy agreement with a tenant on 10.10 with a move-in date 4 weeks later, and on 07.11. collected 4 cheques (3 + 1 security deposit).
1 day before moving in the tenant decided to abruptly cancel and demanded for the cheques not to be deposited. Ejari has not yet been registered as it was planned to be done after the key handover.
Is the landlord entitled to deposit the cheques (security cheque + 1 cheque) and demand 2 months' rent as a penalty?
The tenancy contract has no explicit early termination clause. What are the rights of the landlord in this case to protect and address the financial inconvenience?
Thank you.

العواقب المترتبة على إنهاء عقد الإيجار بعد صرف الدفعة الأولى
1
س: مرحبًا،
لقد وقّعت عقد إيجار فيلا في إمارة دبي بتاريخ 1 نوفمبر. لقد دفعت 5٪ وديعة للمالك و5٪ رسوم للوكيل العقاري.
في الوقت الحالي، بينما بدأنا مناقشة التفاصيل المتعلقة بالانتقال، إننا لسنا راضين عن الطريقة التي يناقش بها المالك بعض البنود الصغيرة.
إنها ليست بنود رئيسية من شأنها أن تسمح لنا بإنهاء العقد قانونيًا ولكنها تفاصيل صغيرة لا تمنحنا الثقة في أن حياتنا ستكون سهلة معهم في المستقبل.
لذلك، نريد إنهاء عقد الإيجار هذا الذي سيكون ساريًا بدايةً من الأول من نوفمبر.
السؤال هو؛ ماذا ستكون العواقب المترتبة على هذا الإنهاء؟ بالنظر إلى أن العقد لم يبدأ بعد، هل يمكننا إنهاؤه الآن دون دفع أي غرامة واسترداد وديعتنا؟

إلغاء عقد إيجار عقار قبل تاريخ الانتقال المحدد

س: هل من الممكن إلغاء عقد إيجار عقار قبل تاريخ الانتقال المحدد الذي تم التوقيع عليه بالفعل؟
ما هي حقوق مالك العقار فيما يتعلق بالشيكات التي قدمتها له بالفعل؟
هل سيتعين علي دفع أي رسوم على الرغم من أنني لم أستلم مفاتيح العقار حتى الآن، ولا يمكنني أيضًا الانتقال بسبب الإغلاق الناتج عن فيروس كورونا؟

I renewed my tenancy contract in Dubai but Ejari is yet to be renewed.




0
Q: Hello,
I renewed my tenancy contract in Dubai but Ejari is yet to be renewed.
I want to early terminate the contract. The notice period is not mentioned in the contract but the addendum has a clause of 2 months penalty without mentioning any notice period.
What does the RERA Law stipulate regarding tenant notice period?
Can I avoid the 2-month penalty if I give a notice period as per RERA Law?
Thank you

A hair salon caused serious damage to my hair and scalp. What can I do to sue them? 0
I’m looking for legal advice regarding a hair salon incident that caused serious damage to my hair and scalp.
I visited a salon for a colouring treatment, during which two rounds of bleach, which is not what I booked in for, were given to me without proper approvals, and were applied back-to-back without a strand test or proper consultation.
As a result, I’ve been experiencing extreme hair breakage, daily hair loss, and ongoing scalp irritation. This has been especially distressing as I’m currently pregnant.
It’s now been over 20 days since the incident, and despite multiple polite follow-ups, the salon has ignored all communication.
I’m now exploring legal action to pursue compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused. I have full documentation, messages, and photos.
Any guidance on the best next steps or legal routes I can take would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

What can I do if the landlord has not been responding to renew the commercial lease contract and Ejari? 0
Good day.
For the last 3 years, the landlord's office has not responded to renew the contract, so I contacted RERA for renewal.
The office doesn't respond to emails related to renewal, even though I started sending emails and reminders 2 to 3 months before expiry, and I have no choice but to contact RERA and send a notice.
Once the renewal was processed by law, the landlord's office delayed in releasing the Ejari. Since it is a commercial property, my renewals are related to a staff visa, and I have to pay delay penalties.
The landlord's office staff tried to take advantage of the Emirati owner, and no direct meeting was fruitful.
What is the law that safeguards expats and sorts out issues without mutual compromise as they try to force their terms to be acceptable by law and not supported by any documentation?

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds? 0
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.

My wife got her maternity leave after she gave birth prematurely. Can her company pay her only half a salary? 0
My wife was pregnant and gave birth in the first week of her seventh month.
The company she works for refused to give her leave when she requested it before giving birth, claiming that work required it and that she was still in her sixth month.
Now the company she works for is refusing to pay her full salary and is offering to pay only half her salary.
Do they have the right to do this?
What are my wife's rights with the company she works for, and how can we demand them?

Can I sue overseas app developers for misconduct and website deletion? 0
Hello,
I want to create a legal case against my mobile app developers who sabotaged my business and mobile apps, failed to deliver a good product, and, despite that, had the audacity to ask for a bonus.
When I refused, they deleted my websites twice (two different projects and sites, with months between each incident). I want to pursue legal action with someone experienced in technology-related cases. The developers are freelancers hired via an online marketplace for freelancers (Upwork).
Everything is legally documented, including WhatsApp messages clearly showing evidence of their sabotage, as well as some logs from GoDaddy related to the web and app development.

Can the debtor file a bounced cheque case against a car loan I took if it is a guarantee cheque? 0
Hello,
I'm from the Philippines, working here for 15 years. I have a big problem, and they have repeatedly given me a case of a cheque worth AED 73,000 for almost 9 years.
Recently, they filed a case again after knowing that my case was done last October. This cheque is a guarantee cheque only for my 5-year monthly car installments.
I paid for almost 2 years and have 3 years left to be paid, but I gave the person who guaranteed my car a cheque worth AED 73,000 at that time.
I don't have enough requirements to get the 5-year monthly installment car, so I asked someone to help me, but my biggest mistake is that I don't have any agreement for this cheque because I totally trust him as my family.
After delaying payment for 2 months because I went on vacation and came back, he asked me to visit their shop. When I went, they just called me and told me to get his things.
