3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميعإنهاء عقد إيجار صادر من مكتب توثيق قبل انتهاء مدته
3
س: أملك شركة في أبو ظبي داخل مركز أعمال، وقد أصدر المركز وثيقة توثيق ثم قمت بتجديد رخصتي التجارية.
وبعد مرور أربعة أشهر، أعلمت مركز الأعمال برغبتي في ترك المكتب، لكنهم أخبروني أنني بحاجة لتقديم الرخصة التجارية الجديدة التي تحمل عنوان المكتب الجديد حتى يردوا إليّ شيكيّ التأمين والإيداع النقدي الذي يبلغ إيجار شهر.
لكنني لم أقم بتأجير مكتب جديد بعد، وقد علمت بعد ذلك أن مركز الأعمال قام بإلغاء التوثيق، لكنهم مصرّين على الحصول على الرخصة التجارية الجديدة بعنوان المكتب الجديد حتى يتمكنوا من تأجير المكتب الذي كنت أؤجره، وقالوا أن قسم التوثيق هو الذي يطلب ذلك.
هل هذا الإجراء قانوني؟ وما هي الخيارات المتاحة لديّ؟ هل يتوجب عليّ تأجير مكتب جديد لكي أحصل على الشيكين والإيداع النقدي؟
شكرًا

كيفية تسليم مكتب مستأجر وتجنب دفع الإيجار في حالة منعنا المالك من دخوله
1
س: لقد استأجرت إحدى الشركات مكتبًا صغيرًا داخل أحد مراكز الأعمال، لكنها لم تتمكن من دفع الإيجار لبضعة أشهر بسبب الإغلاق الناتج عن فيروس كورونا.
قام مركز الأعمال بإغلاق المكتب، ومنعنا من الدخول إليه واستخدامه، لكن لا تزال الإيجارات الجديدة غير المدفوعة تتراكم علينا باعتبارها مستحقة السداد على الرغم من أن الشركة لا تستطيع استخدام المبنى. هل هذا الأمر يُعد قانونيًا؟
ينص عقد الإيجار على أنه يحق للمالك إغلاق المكتب في حالة التأخر في سداد الإيجار، لكنني كنت أعتقد أن هذا الأمر غير قانوني، ومن ثم فإن هذا البند غير صالح، وأن الشركة يجب أن يكون لديها الحق في دخول المكتب واسترداد أغراضها الموجودة بداخله.
شكرًا،
إ.،

A tenant is refusing to vacate commercial property in Dubai - what can I do?


1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I purchased a commercial property office in Al Barsha Heights Dubai in May 2023. It was rented and an eviction notice was issued on December 19, 2023. The tenancy contract/Ejari expired on April 24, 2023.
The tenant agreed and signed in the addendum terms that he would send a written request to the owner to renew the contract 45 days before the expiry date and that he would pay the rent as per the RERA review.
However, he has not sent any official email to the previous owner or the new owner to renew his contract/Ejari. One month has passed since then.
Meanwhile, the previous owner has sent emails to the tenant from her registered email stating that she will not renew the tenancy contract after it expires on April 24, 2023, and that he should vacate the office on the expiry date.
She also informed the tenant that the office has been sold. The tenant is now living in the office without renewing the contract and is saying that he can live there until December 18, 2023, as per the eviction notice.
In this situation, what action can I take as the new owner?

An Overview of Commercial Lease Laws in the UAE 0
In the UAE, the relationship between landlords and tenants in terms of their responsibilities is primarily governed by Federal Law No. 5/1985. This law covers commercial properties without addressing the part related to maintenance and duties. However, it is common for commercial tenants to assume responsibility for repairs and upkeep.

I have a case running in court and I am afraid the debtor will flee the UAE. Will a travel ban be automatically placed? 0
I filed a money claim above AED 10,000 (but will probably be above AED 50,000 if capital + dividends are combined) against someone in Abu Dhabi.
The mediation time has elapsed, 2 court sessions have been done, and the defendant still hasn’t shown up or appeared in either of those. In the last/latest court session, the judge said that the defendant is still inside the UAE.
About the travel ban, is it automatically applied to him because of the case, or do I have to ask/request it to be applied to him through the Abu Dhabi court?

Can the landlord send me an eviction notice for non-payment despite submitting an offer and deposit at RDC? 0
I’ve lived in my building for over 4 years, with the most recent rent being AED 50,000. Each year, the management collects cheques and extra AED 2,400–2,500 cash (no receipt) for management and Ejari fees.
My contract was due for renewal on 15 Feb 2025, but management delayed, demanding a 10% rent increase even though no formal 90-day notice and the RERA index did not allow it.
After a month of excuses, the manager called on 12 March, insisted increase to 55K, and threatened eviction if I refused. When I referenced RDC, he hung up. The next day, he again made unprofessional remarks, so I decided to go with RDC.
I submitted my offer and deposit on 13th March, but the management didn’t respond. The case went to the judge on 14 April he ruled in my favor.
On 30 April, I applied for the execution of the ruling, and RDC says I can renew Ejari only on 8th May at DLD with cheques given to them.
However, on 1st May 2025, I received a notarized eviction notice for non-payment of rent and communication.
My question is, what will happen at DLD now?

My previous organization has not yet released EOSB because I contacted a client. Is this legal? 0
I recently joined a new organization in the Hamriyah Free Zone, and my previous organization has not released my end-of-service benefits.
The HR has instructed the finance team not to do so because I had contacted one of their clients.
In my DMCC contract, there is no Non-Compete clause, but the offer letter has one, and now they are not releasing the end-of-service.
Is this legal? What are my rights?

كيف يمكنني الاستعلام عن قضية إبعاد أمني ومحاولة العودة إلى الإمارات؟ 0
السلام عليكم،
أود الاستفسار بشأن قضية إبعاد زوج خالتي من دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة. زوج خالتي كان مقيماً في الإمارات وكان قد وُلد وترعرع هناك.
في عام 2013 تم إبعاده من الإمارات، وكان ذلك نتيجة لسياسات حكومية كانت تستهدف مجموعة من المقيمين في تلك الفترة، وهو لم يكن قد ارتكب أي مخالفة في ذلك الوقت وكان يُعتبر ضحية للسياسات المتبعة.
أرغب في معرفة الإجراءات التي يجب أن أتبعها حالياً من أجل رفع هذا الإبعاد وتمكينه من العودة إلى الإمارات.
أرجو أن توضح لي كيف يمكنني مساعدته في هذا الموضوع.
شكراً جزيلاً.

Can I resign during the probation period without serving a three-month notice to take another job? 0
I am working in the private sector, and currently I am in the probation period. I got a government job, so I submitted a one-month resignation notice.
My current company rejected my one-month notice and ordered me to serve a three-month notice (as per the contract).
I enquired with One Time Centre, and as per their advice, after one month, I can stop work and register a complaint against my company.
For this matter, how will the UAE law help me to solve it?

Can the employer force the housmaid to work for unlimited hours without rest? 0
Hi
I'm a nanny, and at the same time, I work as a housemaid (khadama) here in the house. I work, but as I know, the nannies and housemaids have different rights, and my employer doesn't give me rest.
My work starts at 7:30 am and then finishes at 10 pm or less. It depends on whether the baby is asleep or what time they will take on me if not yet asleep. Is this right?
Also, at the time of eating, I'm still working because the baby is with me, so I just let her sit in her chair. That's how I eat.
Please answer me. I want to know my rights.
Because if I can leave during the 6-month probation, I want to take it if the employer is this kind. I don't know.
They are also expats, but they don't follow the rules of the UAE regarding a housemaid.

How to file a case against my former company for unpaid salary I was not on their visa? 0
Dear Legal Advice Middle East,
I hope you are well.
I am seeking legal advice regarding an unpaid salary issue with my former employer, [-----]2 LLC. I was employed with them from December 4, 2024, to January 7, 2025, on a monthly salary of 5,000 AED.
However, I only received a partial payment of 2,473 AED on February 24, 2025. The remaining 2,527 AED is still unpaid.
I submitted a complaint to MOHRE on March 2, 2025, but I am unable to proceed further through their official channels.
This is because I was working under the visa of my previous employer, [---] LLC, and not under [----]’s sponsorship.
As a result, I do not meet the criteria to file a labor complaint via the MOHRE app or hotline.
Given this situation, I would appreciate your guidance on how I can legally pursue the recovery of my remaining salary, considering the complications related to my visa status during the employment.

عرض الجميعMy husband sold the house we bought jointlyand took a cheque plus 1-year instalments from me. What can I do? 0
Hi,
I am a non-Muslim indian expatriate, residing in Dubai since 2015. The first 5 years, I was on a working visa, and after the delivery of my first baby, I left my job and became dependent on my husband.
In 2018, we bought a house together where I invested AED 2 hundred thousand from my income (I have proof in the form of a cheque). I also paid AED 3300 monthly installment for 1 year, for a personal loan taken out for the house.
But in spite of my resistance, my husband tactfully put the house in his name, so the title deed was in his name. In 2024, when my kids and I were in India for vacation, he cancelled our visas and residency. He also filed for a divorce in India.
The divorce is not yet finalised, and we are still married. Since August 2024, he hasn't let me access my house in Dubai, so I filed a case, which eventually went in my favor in January 2025.
Since I used to travel on a visit visa, I left for India and returned in March, to find out that my husband had already sold the house. The new owner is residing there.
What can I do now?
Help!
