Can I stop paying and terminate the property purchase with refund for delaying the project?
Q: In 2023, I purchased a property and began making monthly installment payments through their 1% payment plan. Unfortunately, due to financial struggles caused by my business collapse, I’ve been unable to continue paying. Despite the project being only 10% complete, the developer refused to grant me additional time, and instead, began adding penalties. As I`m not based in Dubai, communication has been difficult. They’re threatening to terminate the contract, forfeiting all the amount which I paid so far. I’ve already paid them 30%. They are demanding immediate payment despite my current bankruptcy. Is there a chance to recover the amount I’ve paid so far? How much will they deduct? Will they forfeit the entire amount I’ve paid?

Should I sign an agreement after my healthcare employer's insolvency voids my offer letter?
Q: Dear Lawyers, An old healthcare organization goes into insolvency. I, being employed by the organization, have been informed that my offer letter is considered null and void due to insolvency. They are asking me to sign an agreement stating that I have no relationship with the previous company and cannot file a case against the new company. In this case, what should be done? Do I need to sign the agreement? They have not provided any details about the new group that is going to take over. Could you kindly advise on how to approach this situation according to UAE labor law?

Can we cancel a car purchase under a 14-day withdrawal right without paying for value loss?
Q: Dear Lawyers, We bought a new car at a dealership but changed our minds for various reasons. When we purchased it, we signed a 14-day right to withdraw, which we now want to exercise. The dealer claims that we have to reimburse them for the loss of value since they have to buy it back from us (we`ve had it for a week and driven approximately 20 km, basically just back from the dealer). We see this as canceling our contract, not a buy-back situation. Are we in the right, and what should we do?+5

Can I collect rent from a subtenant while evicting my non-paying tenant?
Q: Dear Lawyers, My non-paying tenant, whom I have served notice to, is openly subletting my flat without any fear of the law. I received a call from the subtenant that my tenant has temporarily disconnected his DEWA and is threatening him to move out, while the subtenant is willing to pay me cash and wants to stay there. My questions are: - Is it possible to benefit from the sublet rent while the eviction case is being filed? - Should I get an RDC inspection done first to prove subletting by my tenant, and then accept money from the subtenant without any agreement for the period until my case is resolved? The people involved are a complete mafia who know the laws very well and will not pay a dime despite a travel ban, etc. - How can I ask the current subtenant to stay so that these individuals don’t sublet it again, especially with the high season approaching? - Also, can a criminal complaint be filed?+5
