Default in fulfilling obligations under off-plan property purchase
Q: I bought an off-plan property In Abu Dhabi and have paid some percentage as part of the flexible payment program for the down payment. However, no sale and purchase agreement has been provided to be signed by both parties. Construction did not commence and recently, the entire project has been moved to another developer. I have been contacted by the new developer and was told the project construction start date is indefinite. Based on this, can I get a refund as I only have the reservation agreement and no contract has been signed, plus the project has not started which will definitely not be completed in time (even with a six months delay allowance)?

Negotiating with the bank to restructure outstanding loan payment
Q: Hi, I have taken a loan from the bank worth AED 450000. I lost my job in 2016 and was unable to pay the instalments, then left Dubai. Bank people never contacted me and I left as I was unable to pay the monthly instalments. Now I am in India. I have got another job in Dubai and I am very keen on joining it. I contacted the bank through email asking their help to sort this, they asked me to call the call centre. When I called the call centre no one was able to help me, they just said "we will get back to you", but no reply yet. For 1 month, they are not able to help me. Now, I have to join my new job in Dubai asap, and unable to understand what to do. I am ready to pay half amount now and remaining half in instalments on monthly basis. But I don`t know whom to contact and how to get this sorted. PS: I don`t have any friend in Dubai who is ready to help me and go and negotiate with the bank on my behalf. I am just trying to call and sort on my own. Please help and guide me.

Responsibility for the maintenance of defects in a rented apartment
Q: I live in a 4 bedroom apartment in Deira/Dubai. 3 out of the 4 bedrooms have sewage leakage problem somewhere in the ceiling and the smell is horrible. The landlord refuses to fix the problem even though my tenancy contract clearly states that he must fix on his expense. To make the story short, After filing for a case against him at the RDC, It all went down to the police station where he refused to sign a paper that states his willingness to fix. Next, a Dubai Municipality official visited the apartment and submitted a report to the Land Department confirming that the apartment smells very bad. All meanwhile I refused to pay any rent to pressure this landlord to fix. So now 4 months have passed and the accumulated rent has built up to above AED 100,000. The landlord has filed a case to claim the rental amount. What to do? And how can he file a case against me at the RDC without the RDC asking him to fix the apartment first?! Can I refuse to pay this landlord? I think it is unfair to pay!
