How to extend the MOU while unable to log in to the broker application due to system issues?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a registered broker, and due to some system issues, I'm unable to log in to my broker application. I kept calling the land department, but nobody responded in time.

This is why I couldn't extend the MOU, and it expires on Sunday. Will it still be valid on the next working day for transfer if both parties mutually agree?

Secondly, how can I activate it if I'm unable to access Dubai Rest? And is activation still required if it expires one day before the transfer?

Dear Questioner,

If both parties (seller and buyer) mutually agree, the MOU might still be considered valid for transferring the property on the next working day, even if it technically expired on Sunday.

However, it's highly advisable to confirm this understanding in writing, with both parties signing an addendum to the MOU acknowledging the extension due to the technical issue and agreeing to proceed with the transfer.

While calling might be convenient, try exploring other ways to reach the Dubai Land Department (DLD) regarding your login issue.

If you need further clarification, please ask.

Dear Questioner,

- Validity of MOU after Expiry:

If the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) expires on a Sunday and both parties mutually agree to extend it, the validity of the MOU can typically be extended to the next working day.

However, it is crucial to ensure that both parties explicitly agree to this extension in writing to avoid any potential misunderstandings or legal issues.

- Activating MOU without Access to Dubai Rest:

If you are unable to access the Dubai Rest system due to technical issues, you may need to explore alternative methods of activating the MOU.

One option could be reaching out directly to the relevant authorities or your broker application provider for assistance in resolving the log in issue. It is essential to address this matter promptly to ensure that the MOU remains valid and can be executed as intended.

- Activation Requirement After Expiry:

Even if the MOU expires one day prior to the transfer, it is still advisable to activate it before proceeding with any transactions.

Activation helps ensure that all terms and conditions outlined in the MOU are acknowledged and agreed upon by both parties involved. By activating the MOU, you demonstrate your commitment to fulfilling the agreement despite its expiration date.

In summary, it is recommended to communicate with all relevant parties, including your broker application provider and the other party involved in the transaction, to address the login issues, extend the MOU if necessary, and activate it before proceeding with any transfers.
