How can a tenant avoid any disputes upon transferring the property to a new owner?
Q: Hi Jennifer, I would like to ask you to give me your experience to understand my legal situation. Now, I received a call from the landlord assistant trying to ask me to pay the last quarter cheque in cash as the owner will close his bank accounts here. Also, he wants me to allow him to come with a buyer to visit the property. The problem is I just shifted since 7 months and because we were planning to stay for a long time, we bought new furniture that cost us. Now I need to understand my situation. If the landlord changes, does he has the right to increase the rent? And what is the exact time period he should notify me to leave the apartment? Thanks in advance! Questions & Answers

Claim for refund and termination of investment contract with a company
Q: I invested a total of 35,000 Dhs in a company last July which promised to return my money in double amount after 3 months. October came but the company did not give me back my money + the promised gain. Instead, I was asked to reset my investment and wait again for another 6 months. Their reason is that the mother company closed so they had to rename the company and start all over again. They let me sign a contract but did not want to give me a copy. Is it necessary for me to get a copy of the contract? How can I compel them to give me a copy? Is the contract already legally binding once I signed but not signed by them? Is it possible for me to withdraw my investment now because I do not want to wait for another 6 months? Questions & Answers

Termination of an off-plan property SPA and getting a refund
Q: Hello, My father had purchased an off-plan hotel room (rental-pool) in Dubai. He paid the deposit and all fees and has been paying all installments on schedule towards the developer`s escrow account. However, the project`s ACD was on June 19, with the six-month extension, Dec `19. He stopped paying the installments after the extension period (paid around %65) on the grounds that the project is yet not running and not generating him any revenue. According to the DLD, the project reached 100% completion on October 20. He asked the developer to cancel the SPA after the extension period, but they kept stalling and saying it is not possible. Moreover, they provided us with different dates for the ADC. The SPA says June 19 while the Property Reservation Agreement says Dec 19. Due to financial constraints, he cannot continue with further payments. What is the possibility to cancel the SPA through the DLD or Real Estate Courts in Dubai? Questions & Answers
