Rental agency demanding full payment of legal fees after rental increase verdict

Hi,

We have received the verdict for our rental increase case. The judge has decided on a 20% increase.

The agency is now asking us to cover all costs and expenses. Our legal advisor says that this should be shared, but they are insisting that we are liable to pay fully.

Please can you give me some advice on this?

It is written on the court verdict that: "إلزام المدعى عليه بالمناسب من الرسوم والمصاريف".

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

The court verdict indicates "إلزام المدعي عليه بالمناسب من الرسوم والمصاريف," which suggests costs and expenses should be imposed on the defendant in an appropriate manner.

Your legal advisor's opinion that costs should be shared might be based on their understanding of your case and UAE rental laws.

To clarify, review the verdict carefully, negotiate with the agency if needed, and ensure compliance with the court's decision.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

Thank you very much for your reply!

The agent is asking us to pay fully. They are not open to negotiation and are asking us to confirm by email that we will not pay.

I assume this will then result in an execution being filed against us. Any advice?
