4
Q: Hello,
My tenancy contract is about to expire at the end of March.
My old landlord served an eviction notice with multiple eviction reasons (sell/move/renovate) at the time of renewal. 6 months later he sold the house to my new landlord.
My new landlord wants me to get out so he can rent it at higher rates (80%+) and asked me to leave (Verbally).
What can I do?
Is the eviction notice still valid?
Regards
A.

Does the new owner need to serve eviction notice to the tenant if the old owner served it?

Q: Hi,
I just bought a villa in Dubai, wherein the previous owner had served an eviction notice in Aug. to the tenant with the reason that he intends to sell the property.
Based on this eviction notice, I bought the property, and now I was told that I need to serve a new eviction notice to the tenant again as a new owner.
If I do this, then the tenant will get 12 months to vacate from the new notice date. Then what is the use of the old eviction notice?
As I understand the new owner will need to honor all obligations of the old landlord and in which case the new landlord should also be entitled to the right of eviction notice served by the old landlord, right?
Kindly clarify

Do I have to send an eviction notice to the tenant if the previous owner sent one already?

Q: Hi
I am getting into an agreement to purchase an apartment. The owner has served the eviction notice via Dubai courts to the tenant.
As per the court's document, the tenant has to move out in May 2023.
Is it safe for me to assume that tenant will have to automatically leave on this date?
And if I go ahead with this purchase, do I need to do anything on my part to ensure the tenant is out on the given date?

Can a landlord raise the rent before lease renewal, and can we refuse?


1
Q: We want to renew a rental agreement for the commercial estate. We informed the landlord 3 months prior to the expiry of the contract of our decision to renew.
Now, 2 months prior to the expiry date, the landlord informs us that he wants to increase the rent.
Can we refuse this increase?
Does the landlord have an opportunity not to renew the agreement with us if we refuse?

I had signed a labor contract with the Ministry of Labour which had no "non-compete" clause.
Now, I want to leave the company, but my employer wants me to sign the "non-compete" clause in the termination contract.
In this case, is the non-compete clause applicable or not?

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 0
Hi,
I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building.
The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024.
One of the articles in the MoU states:
In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates.
I need help urgently.
