How to vacate the tenant from a property purchased upon verbal assurance by seller?
Q: I purchased a tenanted villa recently. Before signing form B, we asked the seller through the broker if the tenant could vacate the house upon expiry of the tenancy contract, and the seller said yes verbally. So we signed form B, proceeded with the buying process, and confirmed as vacate house again with the seller during the final transfer. We`ve sold the place we used to live in because we will move into this new house and stay in temporary accommodation until the tenancy contract of this new house expires. However, now the tenant doesn`t want to vacate the house upon expiry of the tenancy contract. What can I do in this case? Questions & Answers

The effect of a non-copmete clause upon moving from an LLC to a Freezone company
Q: Hi, I am writing to inquire regarding the non-compete clause. I resigned from a Dubai-based mainland LLC company in July 2021 and from then, they were not canceling my visa and not giving me EoSB. I filed a labor case and finally won the case after 6 months. I worked 7 years in a sales position with them. Recently, I received a job offer from a competitor to do the same role. The competitor is in Sharjah Freezone and I will be under a Freezone visa. There was a competition clause in my job offer letter which I signed 7 years ago but there was no such clause in the contract. And that time I hold a technician position and my recent position was sales. The clause written in the offer letter says: "should you terminate your employment contract, you shall not join any competitor in the UAE conducting the same activity as the company, before a period of one year following such termination". I am wondering if the non-compete restriction will apply to me given that I will be joining a Freezone company this time? Questions & Answers
