I gave a brand expensive watch to agent for service and they changed delivery and fees. What can I do?

Q: Dear. I gave a brand and expensive watch to an agent for service. Only `normal service` at the beginning of 2024. They gave me an estimate and completion time and on this basis, I agreed. Later, they changed the price for service and time for completion many times without my agreement, I told them this was not acceptable because I already agreed and given my watch. Until now, my watch is not done and they have not replied to me with an update or anything. I have already reported this to consumer protection in Dubai. They already spoke to them but no use and told me I could try legal action if I wanted. I am confused and cannot believe a famous shop can do this with a business license and take valuables like this. Kindly give me an idea of what I can do. I have all communications in email and sms. Thank you.

My landlord increased my rent more than RERA Index and refused my offer and deposit. What to do?

Q: Good morning, My landlord notified me 90 days before my contract’s end of a 15% rent increase, raising it from AED 55,000 to AED 63,250. However, according to the RERA index, the maximum increase should be 5%. I tried to negotiate, but they refused. On October 15, I made an offer and deposit of AED 57,250 (including the RERA-approved increase). The judge accepted it, but the landlord rejected it, claiming their other 1-bedroom units rent for AED 75,000. My contract expired on October 31, 2024. Recently, the landlord emailed saying I’m now staying illegally and will be charged AED 100 per day for not signing a new contract. Last week, I requested a new contract based on the RERA index, but they responded by refusing my offer and deposit, demanding full payment. My question: Should I be concerned, or should I let them pursue a case? Or just wait and see? Thank you for your assistance.

Who should submit a dispute to RERA/RDSC if the rent increase is unlawful—the landlord or tenant?

Q: Dear Lawyers, My Dubai landlord is proposing a 9.52% rent increase, which I believe is unlawful. The current rent falls within the RERA rental index range, and no increase is permitted according to the index. The landlord’s representative has been uncooperative in providing proof of a Power of Attorney (POA) or any justification for the proposed increase. Questions: 1. Whose responsibility is it to submit a dispute to RERA/RDSC if the proposed rent increase is unlawful—the landlord`s or the tenant`s? 2. What evidence is required from the landlord (or their representative) to legally justify a rent increase that exceeds what RERA allows? 3. If the Ejari is not renewed due to a dispute at RDSC, will utilities (e.g., DEWA) and services be affected for the tenant?

I am in a rental dispute with my landlord. What can I do if the landlord is not responding to settlement?

Can I go to the RDC center this morning and come up with a payment plan directly with the Rental Dispute Centre? We have another court session this afternoon at 4:00 PM and the judge has requested that we come up with a settlement plan before then.

Dubai Court placed a hold on my account for another bank's case: what are my options?

But how can Dubai Court put a hold on my A bank account, even though the case is with another bank (B bank)?

Can I submit an affidavit by my husband to replace me in liability for cheque bounce in rental cases?

Q: I am reaching out for legal assistance regarding two rental cases filed in my name due to cheque bounce issues. My name was used to set up a company by my husband, who holds a Power of Attorney (POA) for the business. Unfortunately, he signed cheques in my name that were issued for rental payments, leading to these cases. My husband is prepared to provide an affidavit to the court, taking full responsibility for the legal matters associated with these cheques and affirming my lack of involvement in the company’s financial decisions. Could you please guide me on the following? 1. The process to prepare and submit the affidavit in court to release me from liability in these cases. 2. Any required documentation or steps to support the affidavit. 3. The estimated costs for drafting, notarizing, and filing the affidavit, as well as any additional court fees. Thank you for your guidance on this matter. I look forward to your advice on moving forward.

Are email and WhatsApp voice messages sufficient proof to file a defamation case?

Q: Dear Lawyers, My former partner in the company has been saying bad things about me and my family, especially after his cheque payment bounced. He directly threatened, via his company email, to defame me among my relatives. He also sent a WhatsApp voice message (in Persian) to my brother-in-law, filled with offensive language and defamation threats against me and my family. 1) Are the email and WhatsApp voice messages sufficient proof to file a defamation case? 2) Can I send him a legal notice in advance and request an apology letter within 7 days? 3) Do I have the right to ask for a signed apology letter addressed to me and my family? 4) Can I share the apology letter with the people he defamed me to?

Can a newly added no sharing clause impact a 5-year living arrangement with friends?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I am a tenant in Dubai and rented an apartment five years ago. It was understood that I would stay in the apartment with my two friends, but this was not documented anywhere. Today, the landlord is unhappy with the rent amount, as rents have risen higher than he can legally increase it. In my latest contract from this year, a line was added in the additional comments stating that sharing is not allowed. I didn’t notice this and signed it, although this clause was not in previous contracts. My question is: can they use this clause to cause any issues for me?

The landlord served me an eviction notice for sale. Can I stay if I prove his intention is to increase rent?

Q: I have been renting an apartment in Dubai for 5 years. The landlord was not happy last 3 years as they were not able to raise rent more than the RERA calculator. In 2023, they sent me an email, non-notarized, asking me to evict the property for the reason of personal use. I refused this as it did not go through court and the contract was renewed for another year. This time, in 2024, they sent a court eviction notice with a reason for sale. It was sent 12 months before the end of the contract. In the period since the notice was sent, they did not try to sell the property or list it anywhere for sale. My question is, can I dispute the notice based on the reason they do not show any intent to sell, and that I suspect they only want me out so they can re-rent it higher?
