Recovering a personal debt without written agreement

6
Q: Hi.
I would like to inquire how much do you charge for a consultation because I need some legal assistance regarding loaned money.
Someone owes me a big amount of money, AED 51,000 to be exact. I lent them an amount of AED 60,000 which they would pay on a monthly basis for 24 months.
However, after 3 months of paying, they haven’t paid until now. I would like to get a quote on how much would it cost to have a legal assistance in such case like this.
Thank you.

Verbal agreement gone wrong: seeking repayment of misused funds from a co-worker


2
Q: Dear sir/madam,
I entered into a business venture with my co-worker, but we only had a verbal contract. I gave him 100k QR, but he lied and said he was sending the money to his mother for a lending business.
Unfortunately, he actually invested it in a pyramid scam.
Do I have a chance to win my case and obligate him to pay me back the remaining 66k QR?
My only evidence is WhatsApp messages, bank transactions showing that I sent him the money, and his bank transactions showing that he sent money to my account.
What should I do now?

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?

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?
