I'm being charged more rent after a one-time offer. What can I do?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Last year, I received a one-time offer while signing the contract. The original price was 45,000 dirhams, but I received a 6,000 dirham discount, so I am currently paying 39,000 dirhams for my apartment. I received a 90-day notice that my rent will now be 48,900 dirhams. Can someone tell me what numbers I need to use to calculate my new rent? Is it legal to increase my rent in this way? The company claims that the price is based on the rental index calculator.

Can I terminate the SPA for an off-plan property and get full refund if I didn't receive the SPA?

Plus, the above amount is in favor of the developer`s account and not escrow. Please advise if this is normal and what questions I should ask the developer.

What can I do if my company gave me bonus less than the amount we agreed on?

Q: I work in DAFZA. My company does business in USD. My company gave me a target letter that if I did X amount in Euros, then I`ll get AED 57K as an incentive. I managed to do 102% and was expecting an incentive payout accordingly. But they gave me a bonus as per 94% target achievement. They mentioned that the exchange rate was favorable all throughout the year for USD. But if they calculate the sales at the original exchange rate used while deciding the target, I have achieved only 94% of my target. 2 things: 1. They never mentioned in writing anywhere that the final calculation would be based on the fixed exchange rate. 2. Target versus Achievement as per our ERP system, which I used for tracking my achievement status showed me the result as per the actual exchange rate on that day and hence I assumed that I hit 102%. No one pointed out in the whole year that my achievement was not 100% and there`s is nothing in writing reflecting that. How can I ensure that my company pays me the correct amount?
