Can the payment terms be changed from monthly to one upfront cheque?
Q: Hi there, My lease is up for renewal and I have agreed to the 10% increase, however, my landlord now wants to change payment terms from monthly payments which I have been doing for the past 3 years, into 1 cheque upfront which I can not afford or able to do. Does the landlord have a right to do this or can I refuse the terms but accept the increase of 10%? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

New developer wants to change payment terms. How to me to protect my rights?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I bought a residential property for AED 7 million in Dubai from a developer in 2013 and registered the property in the same year. The project has been delayed and is still not complete. The original developer sold/transferred the project to another developer in 2022. The project is now 60% complete as per the latest RERA inspection report. The original payment terms in the Sales Purchase Agreement were a final balance payment of 40% to be payable on the handover of the property. However, now the new developer has drafted a new Sales Purchase Agreement where he is demanding 90% to be paid in stages while construction is in progress, and only a balance of 10% to be payable on the handover of the property. The RERA website states project completion by Dec 2025. Please advise if the new developer has the legal right to change these payment terms. What options are available to me to protect my investment and my rights?

If I sign a termination letter during probation, would I face a ban?

I lost a case because of my lawyer's negligence. How can I sue them?
Q: Hi all, I lost a case because of my lawyer`s negligence. I have email evidence. How can I sue them? How do I raise a complaint against them? Will I need a lawyer to put a legal case against them or can I do it myself? I lost money on this case, and every lawyer I speak to never gives a clear answer on the fees. They just say, "Start and we`ll see." I can`t do that. Thanks!

I got a lifetime ban because I could not pay my employment expenses. How to remove the ban?
Q: Hi I was working in a taxi company. Unfortunately, I was not able to pay their expenses which they spent on my visa fee and license. There was no other due payment on me, only the expenses that the company spent on the license and some other fees. They were holding my passport and I needed to come back home urgently. I told them that I couldn`t pay 9 thousand dirhams at once, so they put a lifetime ban on me. Can this type of ban be removed or not? If there is any chance to lift it, I will try and bear all the expenses. Also, I want to know if this ban is for all the emirates or only for the emirate of Dubai.
