1
Q: Dear Lawyers,
I'm confused and seeking clarification, please!
Every year, the landlord either doesn't send the renewal notice at all or sends it without specifying the exact amount of the increase, only mentioning that it will be as per RERA market value.
Am I not legally supposed to be informed of the exact amount (total or percentage) of any increase 90 days before the contract's due date?

A landlord demands rent increase without DLD valuation. What to do?




3
Q: Dear Madam/Sir,
We live in Dubai. My landlord is trying to increase my rent outside the RERA index, based on a DLD valuation, which he still hasn't received (for 2 months).
1. 90 days before the renewal of my lease, the landlord offered me a new lease with a 20% increase in my current rent, with these words: "Please be advised of a rent increase of 20% based on rental evaluation report which is under process and in line with RERA rules and regulation."
2. I contested this offer by communicating the result of the RERA rent index, indicating that the maximum percentage increase is 5%.
3. The landlord insisted, saying that the 20% increase would indeed be effective and that he would communicate the rental evaluation to us shortly.
4. Now, we still don't have the evaluation report, 2 months after his e-mail requesting a 20% rent increase.
Can the landlord legally increase our rent without even waiting for the evaluation report and without respecting the RERA rules?
Thank you!

How can I cancel my visa and POA for financial matters if I have a travel ban for company bounced cheque? 0
I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company.
During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge.
The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged.
No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case.
I need clarification on the following points:
How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company?
Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban?
Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options?
What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation?
I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.

Hello,
We live in a development in Ras Al Khaimah, and under our apartment block, there is a loud swimming pool heater/chiller unit that runs 24/7, producing a rattling and humming noise that disturbs our peace.
We can hardly use our balcony due to this noise. Other apartments face the same issue, but the community management refuses to take action.
What legal recourse do we have? Can we serve the community management office with a legal notice?

What can I do if my tenant is not providing rent cheques nor responding to renew the tenancy contract? 0
Hi,
I am a landlord and need advice on the following scenario.
- The contract with my tenant expired in Sep 2024. Upon requesting the renewal, the tenant mentioned that she is out of the country and will sign the renewal contract and provide the rent checks. In the meantime, she paid the first quarter of rent through a bank transfer.
- After 3 months, when the next quarter's payment was due, she deposited the next quarter's rent into my bank but did not sign the contract renewal despite my follow-up with her multiple times. At this time, she had returned to Dubai.
- Now the next quarter payment is due, however, the tenant is not responding to WhatsApp or answering calls. She is NOT paying rent or renewing the contract.
What action can I take since she is not answering my calls or messages?
She does not have a valid contract or Ejari, and her rent is delayed by 1 month. All WhatsApp messages are delivered, but she chooses not to respond.

My brother had a heart attack and was treated at a hospital. Can the insurance refuse to cover costs? 0
My brother had a heart attack two weeks ago, and the ambulance took him to the nearest hospital, where the staff and doctors provided excellent care. Unfortunately, the hospital was not covered by his insurance.
After an emergency procedure, they inserted a stent, and he was discharged four days later, with a referral to a hospital that was covered by his insurance.
When we arrived at the referred hospital, the doctor wanted to insert additional stents, as mentioned in the discharge documents.
However, the hospital applied for insurance approval, and the insurance provider rejected the request. When we contacted the insurance company, they insisted that he travel back home to continue his treatment.
However, he is unable to travel due to his condition.
Kindly assist with this matter.
