4
Q: I have been working in a hospital for 5 months when I submitted my resignation. I am a laboratory professional but my visa is archive clerk.
My contract states I (may) work under 6 months probation period and states that the notice period is 3 months when either party terminates the contract.
My question is I am still in the probation period, does this notice still applies?
I tried to compensate for my remaining notice but they said they are currently not accepting it because there is no applicant but they are not posting their vacancy.
Is there anything I can do to lessen my notice period?
Thank you.

View allThe landlord wants to increase rent above RERA Index. How to renew my contract? 0
My landlord was asking for an unjustified rent increase of 9K, while the RERA calculator showed 3K. He was threatening to go through the Rent Valuation process, however, he only gave me a notice period of 83 days.
According to Dubai Decree No 43 of 2013 and Law No 33 of 2008, landlords are required to provide a 90-day notice period before making any changes to the rental contract, including increasing the rent amount.
Failure to comply with this notice period entitles the tenant to refuse the rent increase.
As the current contract is coming to an end by the end of next week, I have made several attempts to reach out to my landlord and his real estate agent to reiterate my interest in extending the contract and collecting the rental cheques at the old prices.
Also, I kindly requested that they provide me with the contract as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I have not received any response thus far, and considering that this week is a holiday week, I do not know what to do.
Sincerely,

If an employee is still on probation period, can the employer terminate the contract with 14 days' notice even if the employment contract states 30 days' notice?

Is the RERA Index Calculator the sole source for determining rent increases? 0
Dear Sir/Madam,
I reside in a Dubai community, and my tenancy renewal is approximately 95 days away.
The landlord is proposing a 15% rent increase, primarily based on rents listed on propertyfinder.ae, claiming that my current rent is 25% below market rates.
However, the RERA Rental Index indicates "no increase in the rental value" as my rent is at the top of the quoted range, prompting me to reject the proposed increase.
The real estate broker he hired at the time of my move-in recently contacted me, serving as an intermediary, mentioning that he would conduct a DLD valuation, likely resulting in a higher value.
However, he is attempting to negotiate first, considering the cost of around 2500 AED.
If we were to dispute, is the RERA Index Calculator the sole authoritative source for determining rent increases?
Additionally, if the DLD valuation is accepted, what is the potential maximum increase?

Work visa rejected for security reasons: What to do? 0
Dear Sir/Madam,
My work visa was rejected. When I visited the immigration office, they told me to come with my company's PRO.
I did, and my PRO told me that my visa was rejected for security reasons. I don't understand why my work visa was rejected, as I don't have any cases in India or the UAE.
I am new to the UAE. Can anyone please help me resolve this issue? What can I do? Is there any alternative to clear this?
