Q: Dear Community, Seeking your support & guidance. We recently vacated a flat in Sharjah & requested a NOC from the real estate for SEWA DC & claimed the 2k deposit. Their engineer came & deliberately made a quotation of 3k claiming damages in the flat, which are absolutely false. Where can I put up a complaint against the real estate for this false claim? Thank you.

Deciding not to rent an apartment after giving a deposit and agency fees
Q: Hi, I recently gave a deposit + agency fee in cash (I have the agency receipt), but we would like to go back on our decision and not rent this apartment. We haven`t signed the leasing contract yet, and neither has the owner. In the receipt, it`s written that the deposit is non-refundable, but I haven`t signed it, only the agent. So I don`t know if it is legal. Do you know if I can get all my cash back (deposit + agency fee) when the deal did not close in the end because of me? Would the reason for deciding not to rent anymore impact the legal aspect of the situation?

How to know the judgment when the portal says "decided"?
Q: Dear sir/madam, There is a case against me in a commercial, full-jurisdiction court. Sorry if I`m getting this wrong. I have not participated in the case and on the advice of my UK lawyers, I have not been represented there in Dubai. Upon checking the portal, it says a judgment was reached yesterday, but I can`t see further details. So my questions are: 1) Do judgments happen behind closed doors or in front of the lawyers? (the plaintiffs have lawyers) 2) How long does it usually take for the verdict to be public and for me to see the outcome of the case? The only thing it says online is the word "decided".Oct 19, 2022

A landlord is not abiding by the RERA calculator and wants to increase the rent
Q: Dear sir/madam, My landlord sent me a notice 95 days before expiring of the contract that my rent has been increased by 40% without any justification. I informed the landlord that we should abide by the RERA calculator and sent him an extract of it where it is clearly stated that no increase in rent for the property. After going back and forth multiple times, I decided to visit RDC. They suggested submitting an offer and deposit which got approved according to the RERA calculator. I sent the certificate to the landlord and he replied back that he rejects this. What should I do next? Can I get Ejari with the offer and deposit certificate? Or do I require a tenancy contract with a signature from the landlord?
