Rights of the tenant in case of early exit from rent
Q: Hi, I`ve rented an apartment in Dubai from 01.02.21 - 31.01.22. I`ve paid in advance as well as a deposit of 5%. Then, due to a job-related change, we agreed I can move out early on 07.10.21. I`ve handed over the apartment, but now the landlord doesn`t want to refund me the rent for the remaining 4 months or deposit paid (total value of AED 45,000). I`ve chased him since move-out. Then he reached out asking me to pay service charges that the developer has charged him (for this he sent me to account details to HIS own account with the developer - in his account are outstanding charges that go back to 2019). I told him I`ll pay the services charges pro-rata if he pays me what he owes me. As I didn`t hear back, I sent a legal notice. Now he sent me an email detailing 20 items of fees he expects me to pay (many are made up such as 5 lost keys with a cost of 500 each, and huge renovation charges, etc.). Please get back to me via email. Thanks, A. K.

How can a real estate agent claim commission from agency after resignation?
Q: I am working as an agent with a real estate agency. I am new to this industry, just got my visa processed which is why I am still looking forward to applying for RERA. I sold an apartment in an off-plan project which is exclusive with the broker I am working for. The client has paid 20 percent on which the commission should be released, but it has been 2 months I am begging for my own money. Due to all this unprofessional behavior, I resigned and still looking for some help to put pressure on them. I have my name on the SPA and the buyer is also with me. I want them to pay 2 percent which was agreed verbally, without deducting the visa cost which is mentioned on the contract. Please advise. Questions & Answers

Resignation from a Freezone company and paying compensation
Q: Hello, I would like to seek your advice regarding my situation. I have recently resigned from a Freezone company. I have a Fujairah visa. I was able to complete my first contract of 3 years. This year, I have renewed my contract and after 6 months, I decided to resign. I`ve completed my render period of 30 days. Now, my boss is telling me that in lieu of my contract termination, I am not entitled to receive gratuity and cannot encash my unused leaves as I have to payback my visa renewal and medical fees including the cancellation. He also mentioned that I am reliable for the "early termination compensation" which means I have to pay half of three months salary and allowances. I have tried to call MOHRE but they said that Freezone is not part of their scope. Questions & Answers

Can I pay the penalty of bank loan default and return to Dubai?
Q: Hi everyone. I need help regarding a criminal case. I lost my job years ago in Dubai and while in the search for a new job, my passport expired in that period. I came to my country to renew it and meanwhile, after only 3 weeks of not paying the monthly installment, the bank opened a criminal case against me. I couldn’t return and all the debt collectors threatened me for months. Besides the abusive way, and the short timing of action of the bank against me, I wish to return to Dubai. I need a safe way but I am not able to pay the bank until I find a job there. Is it enough only to pay the fine to the police? What are the steps to arrive safely there? I need clear and good advice and future collaboration with a lawyer also. Thank you Questions & Answers

How can an employee get his dues upon resignation?
Q: Hi! Good Day! I hope everyone is well. I just want to ask something about my situation here in Bahrain. I finished my 2 years` contract here last April 15, 2021. The company where I used to work asked me whether I want to renew my contract, I said yes, but I want to take my 2 months vacation. We had an agreement only verbally, no letters or anything, just verbal agreement. So they renew my visa and I wait for my ticket. But 1 month later, there was no vacation. I waited again, but there is no ticket. So I decided to resign for the 2nd time. My resignation letter is dated September 15, 2021, in which my last day of work is October 16. I waited for my ticket. I stopped working now but I`m still here in Bahrain. Also, they made a new contract but I didn`t sign it. Is there anything I can do so I can go back to my country and also get indemnity?
