Signed MOU to buy property, but tenant refuses to leave. Can I cancel?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I have signed an MOU to buy a property. The MOU says that the property will be vacant on transfer. The current owner had given a 12-month notice to the tenant but the tenant is refusing to vacate. The owner has filed a case with RDC and the hearing date is also given. I worry that the tenant may not show up for the hearing and the hearing will be postponed beyond the MOU date. What are my options? Can I terminate the MOU and penalize the owner, or do I have to proceed with the property transfer regardless of the tenant leaving?

A property is subleased without landlord's consent. How to evict subtenant?
Q: Dear Consultant, Good morning! I have a rented property in Dubai. In March 2024, when I went to visit my flat, I found a subtenant inside. He informed me that he rented from "my tenant" and is paying on a monthly basis. This occurred without my consent, and his cheques return unpaid. I have heard from my friend about many options to vacate my unit and sue the original tenant. I would appreciate your advice on the subject matter as a consultant. Many thanks!

Landlord sent an eviction notice for renovation. Is it legal if they plan to sell?
Q: Hi everyone, Glad to have found this platform. I’ve been searching for answers and haven`t found anything concrete online. I am renting an apartment in Dubai, and my landlord sent me an eviction notice more than 12 months before the end of my contract. The reason for eviction is “renovation”. I tried to negotiate a renewal, but he clarified verbally that he would renovate the apartment and sell it afterward. My question is if this is legal since the intention is to sell the apartment and not just renovate it. Will I be able to sue him if he sells the apartment? Appreciate your responses. Thanks!

On judgment day, the judge requested an expert appointment, which costs 15,000 AED. If it’s not paid, will the judge dismiss the case or will the judgment be unfavorable to me? I received a very short notice period to pay the fee.

Demanding signature on dues settlement, but it's not accurate. What to do?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I find myself in a situation with my ex-employer and want some advice from the knowledgeable folks here. I resigned providing notice as required by my contract. However, my employer is withholding my ESOB, unpaid vacation days, and salary unless I sign a document. This document includes clauses covering NDA, non-compete, and importantly, a statement claiming that all dues have been settled. Despite my repeated refusal to sign until my outstanding dues are resolved, my employer has threatened me with a ban if I don`t comply within the next 24 hours. I`ve expressed my willingness to sign the NDA and non-compete clauses but have insisted that any statement regarding the clearance of dues be omitted until they are actually settled. I`m seeking advice on what options are available to me in this situation and whether I should take the threat of a ban seriously, considering its legal standing. It is for a DMCC-based company which I believe is relevant information.
