Q: We signed an MOU in December'23 and it expired on the 9th of Feb.
The buyer has got the manager's cheque ready but there is a long delay from the developer's end in issuing the NOC.
We are getting better offers now for our property and we don't want to extend the contract.

We signed MOU to purchase a house on a mortgage and it got delayed. Can the seller ask for compensation?




0
Q: Hello to all.
We are purchasing a house with a home loan.
We signed the MOU on 31/10 and unfortunately, it took the bank approximately 2 months to complete the whole process.
Now the MOU has already expired and the seller is asking for an additional 10% security deposit as compensation for the delay.
It is not our fault as we don't have control over the bank approvals. Can they do that?
Are we protected from DLD in this matter as the property is under mortgage?
Thank you

عرض الجميعCan I claim full benefits if my actual salary differs from the contract? 0
Hello,
My basic salary stated in the contract is 1,000 dirhams, and the salary written was 1,000 dirhams as well. But I’m receiving 3,500 dirhams every month as per a verbal agreement between the company and me.
Now, my question is: if I take my benefits after I finish my contract, but they are only based on what's in the contract, should I file a complaint with the labour department?
