What to do if the real estate company is asking for chiller fees and pest control after moving out?
Q: Hi Sir, I`m a tenant who rented a studio apartment through a real estate company, and while moving in, they said that the chiller fee is included in the rent amount and I don`t need to pay anything extra. While moving out, they are troubling me a lot by asking for a chiller fee and pest control saying that the apartment was filled with cockroaches, etc. If you can help me, please contact me. I faced some bad words from the owner`s side like she would kick me out today herself, etc. I have all the screenshots and voice recordings with me.

Imprisonment suspended, but police mention a 3-month term! What now?
Q: Dear Experts, Two days ago, my cousin was detained with the intention of being transferred to Al Awir for imprisonment and deportation. Following his last appeal, the court suspended his imprisonment, but only a deportation order was issued. However, when I visited the police station yesterday, they informed me that he has been given a 3-month jail term! I contacted the public prosecution, and they stated that the case is closed following the second appeal for deportation without imprisonment. Currently, he is in Al Awir jail. What happens next? His wife and kids are very worried. Can someone help me to assist in getting him back to the country?Jan 17, 2024

Tour agency service is unsatisfactory. How to claim compensation?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I paid 13,000 DHMs for a tour package to a tour agency in Dubai but encountered persistent difficulties in booking a holiday through the company. They cited excuses related to time constraints and peak season challenges. After persistent attempts, we decided to embark on a trip to Sri Lanka. Despite confirming arrangements with the company, upon reaching the hotel, we discovered no reservation was made. This left us stranded, forcing unplanned and costly accommodation due to the hotel`s exorbitant asking price. While initially assured by the agency that bookings were in order, subsequent communication admitted their mistake, offering a refund for the hotel. Though appreciative of the proposed refund, the overall dissatisfaction prompts me to consider filing a complaint with the Consumer Court. I seek guidance on procedures for addressing tour package issues, cancellations, and seeking compensation for package costs, unplanned hotel expenses, and the mental pressure endured.Jan 16, 2024

What if the broker didn't collect the deposit cheque, and the seller wants it?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I have a question related to a real estate transaction in Dubai. One of my clients signed an MOU but couldn`t complete the deal on time, and the MOU has now expired. The owner wants to claim the deposit, but unfortunately, I did not collect the deposit cheque from the buyer; he only sent me a picture of the cheque at the time of completing the MOU. So, my question is, what consequences might I face for not collecting the cheque from the buyer if the seller takes legal action to collect his 10% deposit? What are the potential consequences I will have to deal with? Thank you in advance!
