3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميعكيفية التعامل مع المستأجر الذي يتجاهل المكالمات لتجديد عقد الإيجار؟

2
س: مرحبًا،
أنا مالك شقة في إمارة دبي واتفقت مع المستأجر عبر الهاتف على تجديد عقد الإيجار لسنة أخرى.
في الوقت الحالي، انتهى العقد ولا يرد المستأجر على رسائل البريد الإلكتروني أو المكالمات الهاتفية للتوقيع على تجديد العقد.
تركت ملاحظة على باب الشقة ولكن لم أتلق أي رد من جانبه. ماذا يمكننا أن نفعل في مثل هذه الحالة وأين يمكننا رفع قضية؟

How do I handle a non-paying tenant with pending cheques and no contract?




1
Q: Dear Lawyers,
My tenant in Dubai consistently pays rent late, and we did not renew the contract when it expired on December 23rd. However, I accepted post-dated cheques from them.
Currently, two cheques for 32,000 AED are pending, and another for 16,000 AED is due on October 6th (covering rent for November and December).
They signed a letter stating that if they do not pay by the end of September, they will vacate by October 1st.
They’ve been late before but eventually paid. Now, they are not responding to my follow-ups, and I’m concerned they may leave without settling the rent.
My questions are:
1. Can building security stop them from moving out until payment is made?
2. Should I evict them on October 1st, deposit the cheques, and file a case if they don’t pay?
3. Is the signed letter enough to evict them legally?
4. Can I deposit the cheques without a contract?
5. Can I pursue legal action against all family members living there?

The tenant refuses to give rental cheques to the agent or pay the renewal fee as per the contract. What to do?




0
Q: The tenant refuses to give rental cheques to the agent or pay the renewal fee specified in the contract. He is forcing the landlord to directly renew the agreement without any agent in between, and the landlord is uncomfortable dealing with him directly.
The tenant submitted a renewal contract in RDC with an offer and deposit case with modified terms and conditions, and removed the addendum, which is an integral part of the existing contract.
Parallelly, he submitted an Ejari request to the landlord for approval. The landlord rejected his offer and deposit request at the RDC portal due to non-compliance with the existing contract.
Accordingly, his Ejari request was also rejected. Since then, the tenant has not approached the landlord for renewal. The landlord is willing to renew the contract without any change in the existing contract and addendum.
How can the landlord secure the renewal cheques and conclude the contract?
Can he ask the tenant to vacate the apartment?
Please advise

Last Friday, I was booking tickets for the Miracle Garden on some Dubai tickets website, and on the OTP page, it showed 225 to be paid on my phone. The otp was added automatically, and I couldn't read the message properly. It turns out 4,225 got deducted from my account.
I immediately called the bank, and they said they can't reverse the transaction, fill out the dispute resolution form, etc. Even tho the transaction was in process today, the transfer shows complete.
Is there a way to get it back?
I registered an online complaint with the Central Bank and cybersecurity. I really need the money with my rent coming up, please guide me.

What to do if someone impersonated an employee in the company I own and got mobile lines and phones? 0
Someone impersonated an employee in the company I have owned since 2012 and extracted 18 mobile lines in addition to several iPhones.
I was surprised that the company cut off our landline and mobile communications on the pretext that he was monitoring a debt of 167,000 dirhams.
This person was arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to deportation. However, the telecommunications company is still demanding from my company and pursuing me because of this debt that we are not to blame for.
How can this matter be resolved?

How long does it take for a bounced cheque case to be closed after a settlement? 0
Hello,
I had a cheque bounce case filed against me in Dubai, but I’ve now settled it with the complainant. The case has been with the Public Prosecution, and I’ve already submitted the notarized settlement documents.
It’s been 5 days since submission, and when I checked with the legal team, they couldn’t give me a clear timeline on how long it might take for the case to be withdrawn and for me to receive clearance.
Does anyone here have experience with this process? How long did it take for your case to be closed after submitting the notarized withdrawal request? Should I expect it to be done in a few days, or could it take longer?
Thanks in advance!

How can victims file a group case for fraud, bounced cheques, and misuse of credit cards? 0
Hello,
I would like to ask for legal advice regarding a fraud case in Abu Dhabi involving multiple victims. The suspect issued bounced cheques, received AED with a promise to exchange it into IDR but failed to deliver, misused other people’s credit cards, and operated an unlicensed travel/tour business.
Many clients paid for Umrah or vacation packages that never happened. The total loss is significant, and many victims have evidence such as WhatsApp chats, bank transfers, and bounced cheques.
We believe this involves a breach of trust and embezzlement. We would like to know if we can file a group case, what legal steps to take, and the cost of legal representation.
