Are there license requirements in Dubai or the UAE for active stock or crypto traders?
Q: Hello, I`d like to know if there are license requirements in the case of active traders (stocks, crypto) operating as natural persons. If so, any view on sanctions/penalties for involuntary non-compliance (or how to regularize a situation proactively)? - By active trading, quite frequent in Dubai I believe, I mainly mean with a turnover above 1m AED (even without profit), strictly conducted for personal purposes (no clients/service provided), as an ongoing/daily activity, recurrent/organized, with possible use of leverage, etc… The activity is hence ‘personal active trading’, likely in a grey zone beyond ‘personal investment’ (not requiring any license). - By licenses, I mean a VARA-regulated license and/or a commercial business license (e.g. following the commercial transactions law in which speculative activities/virtual assets works can be seen as a commercial business). Thank you in advance.

I rented an apartment and paid to discover construction noises next door. Can I terminate the lease without penalty?
Q: I moved to a new apartment in Dubai DIFC (paying AED 250,000 annual rent) and I paid in one cheque. There is construction next to my apartment which is quite noisy and disturbs me. This will continue for 2 more years. They start to go higher and louder. I`m in the 60th floor. As I record Podcasts and work from home, I need a silent environment. In my contract, it is written: "In the event of the Tenancy being terminated by the Tenant before the expiry of the Tenancy Period, the Tenant shall be liable to pay 2 months’ rent as a penalty for such termination. The Tenant shall give notice of not less than 2 months." Would it be possible for me to get out of my lease agreement without penalty? I can stay 2 more months and give notice, but I wouldn`t like to pay the 2 months penalty (46,000 AED). Would it be possible to force the landlord to put soundproofing on his cost? A company that does soundproofing could add a glass layer and soundproof one room for 20,000 AED. Many thanks for your help A.+3
