Can I terminate property purchase and recover payments and cheques for breach?
Q: Dear Sirs, I signed a contract with a developer in the UAE to purchase a property off-plan, with expected completion in late 2024. Construction on the property has not started yet. I have also provided them with cheques for the downpayment as well as the installments. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I informed them that I will not be able to go ahead with any of the payments. So far, I had only paid an initial "show of interest" fee of AED 10.000 by credit card. I have asked for the contract to be canceled, and for the cheques to be returned. They have refused to do so and stated that as a penalty for defaulting, I will have to pay 10% of the total amount. The first cheque for the down payment is due in one week and it will be returned by the bank due to insufficient funds. Kindly advise on my options.

Filing a case with RERA to get the deposit that the landlord used to paint the villa?
Q: Hi, My landlord will not refund my AED 4,500 deposit for my rented villa, because he claims it was used to paint it, as per the request of the new tenant. I lived in the villa for less than 10 months, I left it in great condition and my contract doesn’t state I have to paint it upon the end of the contract. All the contract says is that the rental is bound by law 26 of 2007, in which article 21 states that normal wear and tear is acceptable. Initially, I was informed by the agent that the villa is in great condition and I will get all my deposit back. Then the landlord changed agent and the new agent claims that it is their practice to paint the properties before a new tenant moves in, irrespective of the terms of the contract. Should I file a case with RERA to get my deposit back?

Asking an employee to pay for visa costs to get his passport after resignation
Q: Hello, My employer doesn`t pay my salary on time. I had personal problems, stress, and migraine. When I had to go to a hospital, I didn`t have money for that so I took 2 days off after informing HR and the manager. The next day I managed to get money from friends and went to the hospital. After that, I took a medical certificate and urgent resignation letter because of mental stress. They asked me to pay for the visa so I can take my passport. Of course, I don`t have money and didn`t get 1 month`s salary. Now they filed absconding against me. What should I do? And I was on a 6 months probation period. This thing happened after 3 months.Nov 18, 2022
