How to renew my lease contract and remove the clause of annual real estate company fee?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I am in the process of renewing my lease contract and I requested the agent several times to remove the clause that says: "in the event of renewal of the contract, the tenant agrees to pay Real Estate company as admin fee of AED1000/-". The agent hasn`t removed it yet. My last contract expires today, my cheque was ready yesterday (12/03/2024), and I sent them the contract signed (10/03/2024) and made an X on that clause. Now the agent is threatening me with legal actions saying I`m staying in the apartment illegally (today 1st day). Can they threaten me? Do they have any right to keep charging me their fees? As I read online: "By UAE law, as well as Dubai Land Department regulations, agents are entitled to receive a fee when a tenancy contract is signed. But there is no clause stating that agents hold the right to continue receiving that fee every time a tenant’s contract is renewed”. Should I go to DLD and do the contract with their help? Would appreciate any advice. Questions & Answers

Tenant received renewal notice, rejected proposed rent on renewal day. What next?

Due to the argument, the landlord decided to reduce the rent, but the tenant has not yet renewed his contract. It has been 12 days since his contract expired. Kindly suggest what could be done in this matter. Questions & Answers

Can I cancel the email agreement on rent before signing the lease contract?
Q: Canceling rental agreement before signing it. By email, I agreed to rent an apartment, no lease or contract has been signed. However, the agent asked for a photo of the cheques for verification purposes only, which I provided. No money or physical cheque has been exchanged. How easily can I back out of the agreement? Would changing my mind and backing out of the agreement be a breach of contract? Would the copy of the cheques be a "consideration"? Many thanks Questions & Answers

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I got married in 2022 in India. After marriage, I came to Dubai with my husband. My husband is mentally torturing me just for money.

My mother-in-law has taken a lot of money in interest for her daughter, and my husband pays all the interest. What can I do in the UAE? Can I file a police complaint against him?
