Q: Hello Sir, I was staying in an apartment with a friend in Sharjah and I relocated to Dubai before the end of the tenancy. The tenancy contract was in my name. I wrote an agreement with my friend to transfer the contract to his name or cancel at the expiration. When the contract ended he could not transfer and refused to cancel, so he started paying by cash to the real estate and owed them a huge amount and they opened a case against me at the municipality. I went with him and he sent a request letter to the Judge to transfer the debt to him stating that the debt belongs to him but it was not approved. Now, I have started paying the debt, can I use that his request and our agreement to open a case against him at the police or at the court? Thank you

Q: I was living in a sharing accommodation not having any link with the main owner. There is a 3rd person who took from the main owner and rent to 4-5 people. We were paying that person timely. But maybe he did not pay to the main owner, and suddenly main owner representative came and give all 4-5 people notice to pay 8 months' due rent, which we already paid to that agent in cash. We told him we don't know you and neither we have any agreement better to catch that 3rd person whom you have an agreement with. One day, the owner came to the flat and took out Emirates ID copy. Anyhow, we vacated the room already and now he is calling on the phone and asking us to pay electricity bills. We told him we already paid to the 3rd person. He said he will take legal action. Kindly advise what can happen. We paid all the rent which is including everything. We are salaried persons and we are afraid.

Q: My husband and I are living in Wasl properties. One day when the inspection was carried out, our cousin was there at home. The Wasl guy took his ID and fined us AED 8000.00 for subleasing. Actually, the cousin is staying in a nearby bachelor accommodation but when we told them that, they asked us to prove the relationship in a week's time. Please advise, how to get rid of the fine as we are not subleasing?

س: السلام عليكم، أبرمت عقد إيجار موثق في أبوظبي مع مستأجر أصلي في شهر ٢/٢٠٢٢ ومنحته وكالة خاصة في العقار بالإدارة والإشراف والتأجير وقبض الإيجارات وكتابة العقود، كما يحق له توكيل الغير ورفع الشكاوى ضد المستأجرين في المحاكم. شيك الدفعة الثانية عن شهر ٧/٢٠٢٢ ارتد ورجع من البنك لعدم كفاية الرصيد. رفعت عليه شكوى بإخلاء العقار لعدم السداد وخلال أيام سيصدر الحكم بالإخلاء ودفع المستحقات والمصاريف والرسوم. المشكلة أن المستأجر الأصلي تنازل عن المنفعة والاستفادة في شهر ٣/٢٠٢٢ لمستأجر آخر بدون علمي وبدون رضاي حيث قبض المستأجر الأصلي من المستأجر الجديد ثمن تنازله عن المنفعة وسافر ولم يرجع أبدًا منذ شهر ٣/٢٠٢٢ إلى الآن، والذي يدير ويقبض ويؤجِّر للأخرين هو المستأجر الجديد باسم المستأجر الأصلي الذي منح المستأجر الجديد وكالة عامة على ضوء وكالتي. العقود الآن بيني وبين الأصلي وليست بيني وبين الآخر، وتوجد محادثات يقول أنه شخصيًا سوف يدفع لي ويتحمل ذلك ويجب أن أمهله، ومكتوب في الوكالة بند يقول فيه: "يسدد الوكيل على الموكل أي مستحقات أو شيكات باسمه وتحمل توقيعه". هل أستطيع مقاضاة الآخر بناءً على كل ما ذكرت لكم؟
