How can I withdraw from a family business partnership while ensuring no liabilities?
Q: Hi, I’m one of three partners in a family business, where a father holds 50%, and two siblings hold 25% each, with 0% for the service provider. Does the service provider have any claims on the company if something happens to one of the partners? I’m currently the guarantor for a loan, and I have authority over vehicle sales and purchases. What are my rights to withdraw from the partnership? How can I do it legally without causing any liabilities for myself? Can the other partner take over as loan guarantor instead of me? What are the procedures? My father has authorized the siblings as dual signatories for bank cheques, but the bank has not yet approved this. Can I withdraw from the partnership before the approval is finalized? Please advise on the rights of a partner when withdrawing from a partnership.

Can I terminate the tenancy contract is the tenant did not pay on the agreed time?
Q: I have a property to rent in Dubai and found someone to rent it. He paid the deposit and both parties signed contracts. The move-in date was the 12 September and he stated that he would pay the three cheques on the 12 September by 2.00 pm. No payment arrived on 12 September so we are planning to pull out. He did send a picture of 2 cheques and offered to make a payment late last night online for the first payment. No Ejari was registered as yet Can I pull out as the cheques were not delivered as agreed even though he offered late last night to pay the first installment online? The last online payment he made took 3 days to arrive in the account. I want to legally pull out. How do I do this and can I do it without any penalty? Does he lose his deposit and can he make a claim against me? If so, what does his legal action look like, i.e. what can he do? Regards

Is an eviction notice still valid without an Ejari if it's based solely on a tenancy contract?
Q: Dear Lawyers, I rented a property to an individual. During the last contract renewal, I sent a notarized eviction notice along with the contract. The contract is due to expire in 2 months, as will the notice period. The tenant did not request an Ejari, and we did not create one. My question is, would the court eviction document still hold without an Ejari, based solely on the tenancy contract?

Can we contest the non-renewal notice and claim renovation compensation?
Q: Hi All, I need your advice, please. We got a shell and core office in June 2024 and started the fit-out works. It’s almost 80% done. Now the property management has given us a non-renewal notice for next year, so we will only stay for one year. We replied and told them it would be better to stop now, as we don’t want to complete the renovation just to move out next year. We asked for a refund for our initial payment and for the fit-out construction. To what extent or how much can we claim for damages, such as the time and effort wasted? Since April, we haven’t had an office because they made us wait for a few months. Is it possible to contest this non-renewal? What are our rights? Please advise! Thank you!Sep 10, 2024
