Actions against false charges of Etisalat utility bills
4
Q: Hi
I have a due amount of Etisalat post-paid bill of AED 300 for the month of March. I went to India for some urgent work. When I came after 30 days, the bill was AED 600.
They charge me some services also. I asked them to cancel the connection, and they said it will be a charge of AED 150. I was not under any contract.
They didn't inform me and stopped my incoming and outgoing, and continued to charge me every month and the bill became 1600 till today.
I filed a complaint in Etisalat also that I want to settle down the bill, but I will only pay for the amount which I had used. I will not pay for the additional charges they are putting illegally.
Now, I received a call from Tashil and a message that my credit score rating is being impacted. I told them I want to pay but for the amount which I used, not any kind of false charges.
What effects can it make on my credit bureau as it's almost 15 days and I didn't receive any single follow up from Etisalat?

Forging the employee's signature on the labour cancellation application

4
Q: FORGED SIGNATURE ON LABOUR CANCELLATION
The labour card/work permit of my friend was cancelled without his knowledge. He learnt that he was cancelled when he checked in Tasheel Centre.
This is very clear that his employer forged his signature on the Labour Cancellation Application.
How to file a complaint and where he will report it, directly to the police or through MOHRE?

Can the new owner of an apartment increase my rent if it is against RERA Index? 0
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 agreed with my landlord to increase the rent 10% I pay in cash. Should I insist on changing the contract? 0
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)?

I have signed Form F and got the mortgage but the seller is in breach. What to do? 0
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
