Q: Dear Sir,
I had taken a studio in Sharjah, I gave notice to the real estate 30 days before the contract completion of 1 year.
They didn't reply to my mail but in the end, they charged me a penalty for another 2 months to pay since I didn't inform them.
Please advise me what to do now?

Ninety days notice period required for non renewal of tenancy
5
Q: Hi,
I wish to terminate my lease with my current landlord before the end of my contract.
There is a clause in the lease stating I should give 60 days notice with no other mention of penalties.
The landlord is demanding 2 months rent after the 60 days, is this legal? How can I approach this?
Thank you

The penalty of breaking tenancy contract before expiry
1
Q: Hi,
I am a tenant and my agreement ends on 30/8/2019, but due to unavoidable circumstances, I need to terminate the contract early on 30/4/2019.
The exit clause states:
1. The penalty for breaking the contract is 2 months' rent
2. The tenant should inform the owner 2 months before vacating the unit otherwise the tenant has to pay 2 months' rent as a penalty.
Already given the owner the notice on 10/2/2019, but he is still claiming the 2 months' rent penalty.
Please clarify how many penalties are in play here.
Thanks
Didi

س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
أنا مستأجر في إمارة أبوظبي. انتهت مدة الإيجار وطلبت من المؤجر مدة شهرين إضافيين أقوم بعدها بإخلاء الفيلا، رفض المؤجر ذلك وطلب أن أُجدد العقد لمدة سنة فرفضت أنا ذلك.
هل يمكنه إجباري على الإخلاء مع أني مستعد أن أدفع له إيجار الشهرين؟

View allHow can I vacate my tenant if the rental agreement ends before the eviction notice deadline? 0
My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024.
I have two questions:
(a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator?
(b) The second question is, do I have to renew the rental agreement for 3 months (until December 2024) or not?
Thank you.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
