Does a tenancy contract supersede the laws of the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA)?

Q: Dear Lawyers, Dubai Tenancy Question Addendum: 1. In case of not renewing the contract, the tenant shall inform the landlord 3 months prior. If the tenant fails to do so, they shall bear a penalty of 2 months` rent for not notifying the landlord. 2. Failure to execute the renewal (at the sole discretion of the landlord) shall result in the automatic termination of this agreement. 3.

The tenant’s continued occupation shall not result in the automatic renewal of this agreement. Questions: A. Does this addendum supersede the laws of the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA)? B. Does the contract automatically renew, or is it considered terminated as per the conditions of the addendum? C.

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?

If my landlord is not responding to my emails and calls, how can I renew the contract?

Q: Hi, My landlord sent an email mentioning that the rent will be increased for next year; however, the new rent amount was not specified in the email. The email was sent in accordance with the 90-day notice requirement. When I called the landlord`s office, I learned the rent amount, which was more than a 15% increase and not in line with RERA regulations. According to RERA, the rent can only be increased by a maximum of 10%. My tenancy contract will expire on February 4, 2025. My questions are: 1. If my landlord is not responding to my emails and calls, how can I renew the contract? 2. When can I renew my contract if it’s expiring on February 4, 2025? 3. How many days or months in advance can I renew it? Kindly advise!

Is the tenant or the landlord at fault? 2. How can I pursue legal action against the landlord if he is liable? 3. What are the total fees (including all legal expenses) to pursue litigation? Thank you!

How can I get my visa canceled for new employment if my free zone company has gone bust?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I am a free zone employee who resigned from the company. The company went bust and cannot cancel my visa. I raised a dispute with the Free Zone Authority, which was then transferred to MOHRE, and now I have to approach Al Adheed. I need to cancel my visa so that I can get hired elsewhere.

Can the wife lose the custody of her children due to a medical condition?

Q: I am a Hindu and my husband has filed for divorce in Dubai. We both stay in Dubai. He claimed for custody of our 11-month-old twins. The divorce is because of domestic violence and interference by his mother. I have had a history of epilepsy (a very rare occurrence) since 2011. I have been taking regular medication and working since 2011 as a teacher. The last time I had a seizure was in August 2023 when I was pregnant. No one was hurt although I fainted. My husband is claiming for the custody on these grounds. I have been staying with my kids, all by myself for the past 2 months. My husband has left me and my kids and stays somewhere else. I have worked in the US (2015-16) all by myself and have been working as a teacher in Dubai for 1.5 years. I have been driving in India since 2007 with no accidents or fines. My epilepsy has never affected my profession or lifestyle. I have been to different countries all by myself. Are there fair chances of me getting custody of my 11-month-old twins?

A bank has been restricting my account for 2 weeks now with no explanation: what can I do?

Q: Dear Lawyers, It’s been two weeks since a bank restricted my account (Debit only) without any notification or warning. My account status shows as active though. I have made countless calls, visited the branch 3 times, and raised a complaint (which was closed by the bank without resolving the issue) too but no response at all. They give the same reply every time whether you call the helpline or visit the branch. No one knows the reason why it’s restricted and every time it is the same reply: “Please wait, we have sent the reminder to the concerned department” from the last two weeks. I have no cases, no liabilities to pay, and have evidence of all the transactions carried out on my account. I just want to know what steps I can take to at least understand the reason behind the restrictions. It seems like the people working at that bank don’t even care. It’s really depressing how they have been treating their customer for the last two weeks.

Scammed on Telegram: How can I get my money back?

Q: Dear Lawyers, On 6th October 2024, on the Telegram app, I was scammed for Rs 941,600. The scammers initially paid me small amounts of Rs 300 and Rs 100 for voting tasks and a welfare task in a group. They then demanded larger sums, stating that I could not skip these payments; otherwise, no withdrawals could be made. It all started two days earlier when I received a message on WhatsApp from someone claiming to be the HR manager of a company, offering an online part-time job. I was trapped and lost a huge amount of money. I am under a lot of stress due to this unbearable financial loss.

Should I unblock the debtor to settle the bounced cheque, or is it risky?

Q: Good day, I posted my case here about a bounced cheque. Now, the debtor has reached out, asking me to unblock him temporarily because his accounts have been frozen and his cars will be seized. He said he would handle it from his side. He has a history of making excuses, but I want to get paid as soon as possible. Should I just ignore it, as he did with my money, or is this temporary unblocking impossible, requiring me to go through the process again?

Can a company sue me for an honest Google review about their services?

Q: Dear Lawyers, A cleaning company is threatening to sue me if I don’t take down my Google review. All I did was share my experience without using any curse words, insults, or specific names. In my review, I wrote, "I saw the cleaner use the mop to clean the toilet; I’m not sure if it was the same one used on the floor. I was surprised and disgusted—that’s why I stopped using their services." The company claims it’s baseless, clearly defamatory, and intended to harm their excellent corporate reputation. They’re now intimidating me to take it down.
