Q: Hi, I know the cheque bounce has been decriminalized. but someone gave me a cheque of 250k knowing that it will bounce because the bank account is closed. What are the legal consequences for this, because it does not appear fair if there are no consequences, especially if the person has no funds.

Can the landlord evict me if I don't accept rent increase against RERA Index?
Q: I currently live in a 3-BDR apartment with a renewable 1-yr lease term ending 24.9.22. The apartment is the penthouse of a hotel building, but it`s an Ejari apartment and not a serviced hotel apartment, although owned by the same company. The annual rent is AED 165k. The landlord company has asked for an increase of AED 20k to AED 185k starting with the new lease term of 25.9.22. As this is below the average rent (AED 146k-179k) of similar 3-BDR apartments in Dubai Marina, the RERA rental index calculator stipulates no increase. The owner thinks that this is not a normal 3-BDR apartment but a penthouse and as such the RERA index for a 3-BDR apartment is not applicable. I would like to renew the lease but under the same conditions as today. How should I proceed? Can the owner simply deny the renewal under the existing conditions and ask me to vacate the apartment? Thank You Y. Questions & Answers
