Withdrawing from a sale agreement when the seller does note abide by the terms
Q: If Form F of a property states that a property is tenanted to a certain date, and the date is incorrect, does the buyer have a claim to withdraw from the sale? Essentially, I was told in writing that the tenant would "leave" the property by a certain date. The actual notice was served to the client after the date of Form F being served, meaning that the tenant will be in the apartment for a further 12 months. Do I have a right to withdraw as a buyer and have my deposit cheques returned? Questions & Answers

Is the tenant liable for paying maintenance charges before vacating the villa?
Q: I am unable to get the security deposit refund from the landlord. I was told that they will deduct 4000 AED for painting charges for the villa and around 1300 AED for curtain removal. I stayed for 2.5 years. The landlord has never told me that they will deduct such a huge amount for painting. The condition of the villa, from a painting perspective, looks fine except few holes on the wall for the hanging of painting/smart tv, etc. Am I liable to pay for the painting? Is it a standard practice to paint the villa/apt before vacating the flat? If yes, then can I arrange myself for painting. Legal blog

جريمة الشيك بدون رصيد ما بين الوضع الحالي والوضع المستجد
يلعب الشيك دوراً مهماً في الحياة اليومية سواء في ميدان المعاملات التجارية أو في ميدان المعلامات المدنية باعتباره أداة وفاء والتزام تحل محل النقود في التعامل بين الافراد. ونظراً لهذه الأهمية فقد أصبح أكثر الأوراق التجارية انتشاراً وتداولاً بين الناس، على الرغم من حداثته نوعاً ما. فالشيك لم يبق كما كان في بداية عهده أداة لسحب الودائع المصرفية لحساب الساحب ذاته، بل أصبح أداة وفاء تحل محل النقود سواء على النطاق الداخلي بالنسبة للمعاملات التي يقوم بها الأفراد داخل الدولة فحسب وزادت أهميته.

Possibility to refund property down payments for handover delay
Q: I bought 2 off-plan properties in Dubai, a 2-bedroom in one project and a 3-bedroom in another. I paid the Oqood and the 10% downpayment and then due to no financial liquidity, did not pay the payment plan which is 40% up to construction and 60% thereon. I explained the situation to the developer via email and in-person meetings and I asked them to refund 50% of what I paid or consolidate both properties to make it easier. Many other options are given but they did not cooperate for over 3 years. The projects were delayed in delivery/handover. One was delivered later than committed and the other had to be delivered by 30-dec-2020 but even that till Jan 2021 was 68% done. I have my life savings stuck in this horror deal since 2017 august and want to get out with something in my hand. What can be done? Questions & Answers

هل تعتبر الإقالة من العمل لتقليص مصاريف الشركة فصلاً تعسفياً؟
س: فترة إخطار الفصل من العمل في عقد غير محدد المدة. لقد استلمت خطاب بالفصل من الشركة بتاريخ ١/٤/٢٠٢١ وكانت صيغة الخطاب بهذا الشكل: "This is to inform you that your employment with the company is terminated with immediate effect from 01 April 2021. This is in line with the management team`s review of our business needs; the job role you are currently performing has been made redundant. You are directed to hand over all company property so that the final settlement of dues have been cleared in accordance with the UAE labor laws subject to the satisfactory completion of the handover process." علي حسب فهمي للخطاب أن الفصل تم بصورة فورية لذلك توقفت عن العمل لحين الغاء الإقامة واستلامي مكافاءة نهاية الخدمة علماً بأن بطاقة العمل انتهت في تاريخ ١٨/٤/٢٠٢١ والإقامة انتهت في تاريخ ٢٩/٥/٢٠٢١. الآن الشركة تقول أنه سوف يتم خصم مبلغ شهر الإخطار من المكافأة، علماً بأنه لم يتم توضيحه في خطاب الفصل. سؤالي هو هل من حق الشركة أن تخصم المبلغ من مكافاة نهاية الخدمة؟ سؤال آخر، هل سبب الفصل الموضح في خطاب الشركة يعتبر فصل تعسفي؟ Questions & Answers
