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?

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

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?

Hello, I have signed an MOU where the buyer failed to complete the transaction as per the date of transfer plus the extension. Thus, the MOU expired. I have requested from the agency the 10% deposit cheque signed by the buyer. They refused to give it to me and requested an extension without any penalties or price increase despite the market appreciation by 10%. What can I do to get the cheque legally from them? I am already in a big issue because I already bought a bigger unit having in mind that my unit is sold. They are asking for an MOU extension but the prices went up and I request the fair price as per the market and they are refusing to pay the increase. Appreciate it if somebody can provide me with feedback on these two points: 1- Can the agency hold the cheque and not give it to me? Aren't they violating the law here? 2- What can be done in this case and what would the next steps be? Thanks in advance, Regards,

Hi, good morning, I’m an Indian residing in the UAE and want to apply for a divorce. My husband and I have been living separately for more than 3 years, and he has been living in India since our separation. We are both Indians and Christians (non-Muslims). We have a son who is 8 years old now. Can you please let me know the divorce procedure if we want to proceed in the UAE, both with and without mutual consent? Additionally, please advise on how to proceed with custody, as my son currently resides with me. Thank you!

A company is registered in a free zone (Dubai South) and had 4 shareholders. But now one of them passed away and the successor is a very old lady, who is not cooperative and will not be able to sign any document at all (and she lives in another country). We have no idea who will be a successor after this old lady and these people will in fact never be interested to do anything with this company. The company is financed and managed by only one shareholder, who is willing to continue. What can be done in this scenario to keep this company and continue operations? How to transfer the shares of the deceased shareholder (buyout, shares transfer)? Is there any court procedure where if no one claims their rights after some time, the shares will automatically be transferred to the company itself or the third parties? Thank you. A.

Hi I'm a tenant of an apartment and a new owner has purchased the apartment. I would like to know: 1. Should I revise the Ejari by canceling the previous one and applying for a new one? 2. My current rent is 35% less than the current market value. Can the new owner change the rent as per the market value, or he still has to follow the RERA Index calculator for a new contract?

I'm staying in JLT in a house with a rent of AED 140,000 per year. The lease starts on 1st Sep '23 and expires on 31st Aug '24. The landlord sent me a legal notice from the Dubai Courts in mid-Sep '23, giving me 1-year notice to vacate the house as he plans to sell the house. The notice was received by me through email from the court. He claims the email notice sent by the court is not valid till I receive it by courier via Aramex for my physical signature. Can you please confirm if this is true? The landlord is now ready to let me stay in this house for two more years. He has proposed that we maintain the existing lease agreement and Ejari. However, I should pay him AED 14,000 in cash (10% increment). We will sign a separate paper document wherein we will agree that I will further rent increase of 10% (10% on (140,000+14,000)) on 1st Sep'24 when my current lease expires. Should I insist on making a fresh written contract with the higher rent (140,000+14,000=154,000)?

Hello. I have been with my employer for 15 months, and my employment contract is for two years. Is it possible to terminate the contract before the end of the two-year term?

Hi I have signed the MOU Form F since July 2023 and we prepared all the papers and the loan from my end on 23/8/2023. When I went to DLD for the transfer, the seller had registration issues and asked for some papers to be provided as the property is under the company not an individual. Since that time, we have kept renewing the MOU every month in the hope of finalizing but I am not seeing any progress. So I am asking about legal action as I already got a bank mortgage and started paying as well but not seeing any progress from the seller. So I need to ask the following: 1. If my MOU expired on 20.11.2023, can I file a complaint on 20 or after a couple of days like 23? 2. What will happen in terms of 10%? Will it be returned and what about the fees paid to the bank like mortgage fees, evaluation, and cancellation of loan? Will the EMI payment be compensated by the seller? 3. What is your advice? Thanks
