Legal notice to pay the rent value I
2
Q: I’m a tenant, and due to some financial problems this year I’ve been paying my rent pretty later than the date.
My landlord sent me notary notice for April, May and June cheques which I paid him off in cash within due time but still, he has not taken back the case as yet.
I have the copy of the payment receipt which I paid him. Again I got late with my July, Aug and Sept cheques which I haven’t paid him yet and I’ve asked him to give me some time to pay him off the amount.
He’s been calling me on and off and threatening me that he will throw me out of the house, even though he has not sent me any official letter yet.
Now my question is since he didn't withdraw the previous case (April-May-June), can he throw us out on the basis of that old letter (as we paid him the amount of that notice in time)?
Or he has to provide us with a new notary public letter of 30 days again. I want to pay him all the amount but I just need some time. At the end of December, my contract is expiring.

Legal notice to pay the rent value II
1
Q: I have one question if you don’t mind.
Today, I spoke to my landlord and asked him to send a legal notice but he said he already sent me the letter. This time I did not receive any letter, nor email, nothing from his side.
I asked him to send Aramex report copy so that I can check with them as I don’t receive any letter, but he won’t provide that either.
Doesn’t the court or anyone check if the tenant received the letter or not?
And in this way, the landlord can lie as well also or play some game. All we need is a bit of time to pay him the amount but he won’t listen.
How can I check about this letter as we never received it?
He is saying as 30 days if the notice has been completed, so he has filed a case and the judge will decide whereas we have no clue about any of this. We have not received any letter or notice from anyone this time.
Where should I check the status of all this?

The rights of an employee who works for another employer upon terminating him 2
Hello sir,
We have an employee who was under probation period on a limited contract and with our company visa. The performance is poor and it is found that he is working for another company (his old work) while working with us.
So the management decided to terminate the contract. Apart from the salary, do we have to pay his ticket fare?

What is the required notice period for the landlord to evict the tenant? 5
I recently purchased a property in Springs which is rented till September. I need legal advice on the procedure to send an eviction notice to my tenant as I need to occupy the property for personal use.
As far as I read in the RERA legislation Page 108-110, Article (25) - Section - 2, if the landlord wants to occupy the property for personal use, 90 days notice is sufficient.
But the tenant insists to have a 12-month notice. What are my options and is it possible to send a legal notice to the tenant to vacate the premises at the end of the rent contract?
Kindly advise

How to claim compensation from a developer for delay in handover 1
Greetings,
The property was supposed to be delivered in June 2018 and is still not delivered. If they actually deliver by June 2021, what are my rights to the compensation?
At the time of purchase, it was a 50-50 payment plan. I paid the 50% at the time of purchase and in September 2019 they came back to me with an offer of a discount of 16% in the final settlement amount.
I accepted and paid the remaining amount as well. Therefore as of September 2019, I have paid 100% of the property value.
With all the financial challenges the delay has brought me into, I want to know what compensation is my right as I am assuming they will not be offering anything or if they do they might offer some waiver in service charges (for 1 or 2 years).
And I am worried if they give this waiver of service charges to everyone, will the property be actually taken care of or no?

Would a promotion offered with less salary be considered constructive dismissal? 1
Hello,
I am originally from the UK and relocated to Dubai in 2004 when my company established a new office.
I originally joined the same company in 2001, based in the London office. Since then, I have grown with the organization and am in a middle management role.
Recently, the company announced they would downsize the Dubai office, and affected staff would be offered to relocate back to an office in their home country (India) or to the new office being established in Spain.
I have been advised that my present role will be made redundant in Dubai but have been offered a new role in Spain. The new role is seen as a promotion but there are little to no benefits and it's a major drop in salary (basic salary would drop by 40%).
There are no additional allowances. Currently, I receive basic salary + allowances.
I have been in the UAE since 2004 and my options appear to be limited to accept redundancy or a new role with a significant drop in salary. Would this be considered constructive dismissal?
