I'm sorry for yet another LL question but I dont know what to do. Our lease expired end of May. Landlord wants to increase our rent 40% (RERA calculator says 10%). He also says he is selling our apartment (& i have heard from the new LL who says we can stay at same rent, he doesnt care!). Anyway, problem is maids visa needs renewing next week and I cant do that without a lease. The landlord wants to clear his debts and leave the country and keeps mentioning he has sold the property (althought I know for a fact no money has changed hands, nor a new title deed prepared). My husband is sure he registered our lease with Ejari (when we initially sponsored our maid last year) although we cant find the confirmation. I know we are within right to stay for 10% increase but I really need a new lease to do the visa... gaaah! Anyone had experience? I have been trying to call DMRC but can't get through..

Thank you all so much for your replies. Mrsb the same sporting study was referenced during this news story (for AFL footballers). Do parents here hold kids back or is the prize possession of a school place too valuable? Are there any other parents who have had youngest in FS1/1 and felt their was no gap?

We need maternity insurance - not currently pregnant. I know daman have 6 month waiting period & adnic have 10 months. Unfortunately, I only have 10000aed covered by my employer - I feel it would be a bit risky to rely on this & top up ourselves. Does anyone have any recommendations/experience they can share? Is daman UAE plan worth it or better to go with regional? Huge TIA

Thanks so much babyrat. I wanted to update my thread in case anyone else has this problem; I did as you suggested and went to Etihad at Marina Mall - they re-issued the ticket updating that ID had been sighted so all is good to go! Thanks so much!
