Terminating a tenancy contract by a tenant because of smoking neighbors
Q: Hi, I have spent just 1 month here in my new apartment with my wife and my 6 months old baby. Our neighbor is smoking inside their flat and the smoke comes inside our flat. We have already complained about it to the management and the management keeps only warning them. I have a baby who is at risk for smelling cigarette smoke and we`ve found out that the tenant has many complaints already. The management seems very soft to them. Are we allowed to break our tenancy since the management fails to control them? I think they have a friend who is a senior manager of the building and that`s why they keep on doing crazy things without eviction. Can we terminate our contract for this reason since we have a baby?

التصرُّف السليم عند إخلال المطور العقاري بالتزاماته
س: اشتريت وحدة سكنية من مطور عقاري في دبي عام 2015 وكنت منتظم في سداد خطة الدفع ودفعت إلى الآن 81% من قيمة الوحدة، وكان موعد التسليم في يوليو 2018 وفترة السماح 12 شهرًا حتى يوليو 2019. لكن حتى الآن، نسبة اكتمال المشروع هي 76% فقط وقام المطور بتمديد تاريخ نهاية المشروع عدة مرات وآخرها إلى سبتمبر 2020. بناءً على العقد، فبعد فترة السماح، هناك غرامة لا تزيد عن 4% من المبلغ المدفوع عن كل سنة بعد فترة السماح. تواصلت مع المطور وأبلغني بأن المقاول تأخر في المشروع. نصحوني أن أقوم بالترقية إلى وحدة جاهزة وأكبر ومفروشة ودفع الفرق بين الوحدتين. وطلبوا مني حجز الوحدة الجديدة المختارة بمبلغ 20000 ريال، وفي حال لي يعجبني السعر من لجنة الإدارة بعد خفض سعرها، فسوف يضاف المبلغ (20000) إلى حساب الوحدة السابقة التي لم تنتهِ بعد. لكن طلبوا أمر لم أوافق عليه حتى الآن؛ وهو بحكم أنني اشتريت الوحدة عام 2015 بسعر عالي وسعرها الآن خسر 200 ألف تقريبًا، فسوف تضاف 200 ألف على سعر الوحدة الجديدة. ومضى على هذا التواصل 20 يومًا تقريبًا ولم أجد إجابة منهم بخصوص الوحدة الجديدة أو مبلغ 20000. هل هذا العمل قانوني أم لا؟ وكيف أحصل على حقي من المطور العقاري؟ شاكر نصحكم!

The right action towards noisy children in a neighboring flat
Q: What shall I do with noisy children in a neighboring flat in Sharjah? Aggressive behavior and verbal abuse from the parents when I stop children from making noise. They complained to Police and the Police warned me not to stop children from playing in front of my flat. I can`t explain the noise which is loud. All the other flats have children, so they are all supporters of the main problem group. This is one of the findings from the Police; no one is supporting me.

Extradition treaties between UAE and Bahrain regarding an outstanding loan
Q: Dear Ahmed, I left the UAE three months ago after losing my job with an outstanding loan and credit cards. Two of my bank guarantee cheques of AED 20.000, and AED 612,000 (real outstanding is AED 410K) have bounced in December and a police case is likely to be registered against me. But actually I’m planning to start a new job in Bahrain beginning of next month, then continue repaying from abroad. My residency visa in Bahrain has been issued yesterday without any problem. If a police case is registered against me in the UAE, will this stop me at the airport in Bahrain while trying to enter, or other GCC countries?. And am I under risk of being deported to the UAE legally? My loan outstanding is AED 410K. Total cards outstanding 100K. Thanks in advance Questions & Answers
