Can the developer rent a property after being purchased without the buyer's consent?
I have signed a sale & purchase agreement for a ready-to-move-in property in Dubai, the full payment has already been made, but the developer did not submit for DLD registration as yet.
Meanwhile, the same developer's leasing dept. has prepared a rent contract with a potential tenant, whereby, they have written the developer's name as owner/landlord, instead of mine.
I need to ask, is such a rent agreement valid, and where do I stand in all this?

Hello,
As per your query, please note that as there was no registration, it might be that the property is not clear or the property has a bank mortgage.
Please make sure and do the due diligence before purchasing the unit.
