Application of the eviction notice served to the tenant before the contract renewal


3
Q: Hello,
I served my tenant an eviction notice on 5 Dec 2021 to leave the property.
His tenancy contract was to be renewed on 5 Jan 2022 and I renewed it for the period of 5 Jan 2022 to 6 December 2022.
So is it fine as I am giving him 12 months to evict the property (notice on 5 December 2021)?
Or do I need to make it 5 January 2021 to 5 January 2022?

Can we re-rent our villa after a gift deed transfer, and will the old tenant have any claim?




1
Q: Dear Lawyers,
My wife is the owner of a villa in Dubai, and in September 2023, she issued an eviction notice to the tenant on the grounds of self-use.
In August 2024, the tenant vacated after serving the notice, and the tenancy contract has ended. Now, our situation has changed, and we would like to re-rent the villa to a new tenant.
If my wife transfers the villa to my name via a gift deed, will I be able to rent the villa after the transfer of ownership is completed?
Can the old tenant still fight a case through the Rental Dispute Center if I am the new owner?

Can I upgrade and gift an apartment to my husband after evicting a tenant?




1
Q: Hello,
I purchased a property last year that was already rented. I then issued the tenant an official notarized eviction notice of one year. The tenant has now vacated the apartment.
I plan to upgrade the apartment and gift it to my husband. Will the former tenant have any legal rights against me if I proceed?
The apartment was listed for sale, but we haven’t received a reasonable offer, so we decided to refurbish it.
Please advise.
Thanks!

Getting my children back from the UAE after my ex-husband took them to avoid divorce 0
Hello,
I'm in Canada, and I filed for divorce. My husband, who owns a real estate company in Abu Dhabi, kidnapped our children and took them to the UAE to avoid the divorce and force me back to him.
My children are twin boys, 8 years old, and a 10-year-old girl. What can I do?
I want to follow them and take my children back, but he says his local Emirati connections will file criminal cases against me and have me jailed if I go there. What can I do remotely?
Does the UAE return kidnapped children to their mother? In the UAE, a guardian cannot legally kidnap their own child; what does this mean for my case?
If I report him, what happens to my children? Will they be held until I arrive to take them?

Can I file a case against a friend for privacy breach if he claimed I scolded him for his act? 0
On Jan 2, 2025, one of my close friends did a privacy breach and recorded me and my van in some specific place.
On Feb 5, when I called and asked him why he did this to me, he went and gave a complaint that I scolded him and threatened him.
The same case was later closed by the PP when we negotiated outside the station and apologized.
At this juncture, can I file a privacy breach case against him, which happened on Jan 2, 2025, and on Feb 5 I scolded him only for the privacy breach that happened on Jan 2?
