How long can I stay if the owner sells the property after I declined the rent increase?
Q: Dear Lawyers, I started renting a unit in November 2023. The property manager offered a higher rent for renewal, even though the RERA index showed no increase in August 2024. I refused and said I would follow the RERA index. Last week, the property manager informed me that the owner wants to view the unit because he is planning to sell it. I asked for the price, and the manager said 2.5M, while similar units are on sale for 1.5M. I want to understand what the owner is trying to do, what my rights are, and how long I can stay in the unit if the owner sells or cannot sell it.+3

Can I update my visa if I filed an appeal to reduce the fine in a criminal case?
Q: I have a criminal case against me and I filed an appeal for it after the judgment because I got a fine in the judgment and I can`t pay that much amount of fine. What do I need to do now? Recently I added my surname to my passport and I got it now. So I need to add the existing visa to my new passport and update my name with my surname on my visa and Emirates ID as well. Do I need a police clearance for that or it can be done normally without any issues? If there is anything related to my case or complaint can I do it with a clearance letter?Sep 20, 2024

How can I file a case against my previous landlord if he rented the apartment after evicting me?
Q: I want to file a case against my previous landlord as I found out after a while (7 months) after I moved out that they evicted me to rent the apartment with a higher rent. I was checking the type of cases that I can open in RDC (Mediation, first instance, appeal, enforcement) and couldn`t know which one to use, any advice? Also, is a screenshot from Bayut and the title deed enough as evidence? I verified the title deed on Dubai Land and the owner is still the same and just found out that the apartment was rented on Bayut with higher rent after I left.

Can I file an appeal for a fine in a criminal case judgment if I cannot pay the amount?
Q: I had a criminal case against me and I got fined in that case. Now I can`t pay that much of the fine amount. Should I go for appeal first? Second, I have a lawyer I`m asking him to get the full judgment copy at least we should know the full judgment, so better understand why the judge fined a high amount. But he is saying that it`s not published. How much time it takes to get the full judgment? Kindly tell me if there are any charges for appeal or any court fees, a how much is it?Sep 19, 2024
