Terminating a tenancy contract and claiming refund for failing to hand over property
Q: I approached a broker from an agency to rent an office in Business Bay. So he informed us to pay 23000 and broker charges first, then they will provide us with the documents and key. After the payment, the broker gave the key and tenancy contract and told me that the owner of the office will come with me to register the EJARI and gave me the contact number of the owner. I checked with the owner, he said the previous tenant ran away so he has to unblock something, and he is trying to do. After 13 days still, he is trying to unblock something. We didn`t get the EJARI till now. Without EJARI, we cannot move to the new location and we cannot apply to Etisalat connection. Can I ask for the payment back and cancel the contract they made for me? And also, can I collect back the broker charges? Do I need to move legally, and if so, where should I complain about this matter? Thank you Questions & Answers

How to protect the financial transactions from being considered money laundering?
Q: Hello, I have a question regarding the legality of the following scenario: 1) UAE company 100% owned by individual "A" provides service and invoices of a foreign company of which individual "A" owns 40% share. 2) UAE company 100% owned by individual "A" provides service and invoices of a foreign company of which individual "A" is an employee (CEO, General Manager or such) and has no ownership. All transactions would be made bank to bank transfers, fully transparent, with invoices to support each transaction. The reason I am asking is that I have seen on an online forum (not run by experts) that this might be considered money laundering or illegal invoicing! Your help is much appreciated! I am trying to make sure that any future ventures I might consider are done by the book and according to UAE laws. Questions & Answers

How to recover the money invested with a company asking to wait for 6 months?
Q: Dear sir/madam, I opened an account with a company. They traded metals (gold, silver…etc). It is based in Dubai. You can buy gold online and you have the option to ask them to bring you physical gold “within 48h”. Ten days ago, when trying to withdraw my money, they said it will take a long time to process them. They gave me a lawyer contact. I learned that the company is suing another company as they were buying gold on credit. They are suing them for 22M AED. The lawyer told me he is working to settle the case and recover the money and it seems it will take at least 6 months. What is your advice? Questions & Answers
