Can't help with MIL problem, they are odd creatures bless them, ... I do feel sorry for the OP at having to put up with such overt interfereance from her MIL. As one who falls into CM's "odd creature" category, just would like to say some of us don't interfere with our kids marriages, don't overstep into territory that is not ours to tred, don't domineer and take control of their children don't do things like giving them haircuts and chocolate without their parents consent, I would never abuse my position as a GM in that way, some of us "odd creatures" know well enough that its never good policy to place ourselves in the middle of any marriage that we are not a party to. And please remember we are awarded this "distinction" of MIL sometimes quite suddenly, and just as we all become parents without having any prior experience for that role we also become mother's in law having had no working knowledge at it either, many of us do our best to steer a friendly and just distant enough course from our kids spouses and the wise among us learn along the way often treading on eggs shells because we do value good and happy relationships with our daughter's in law. As a former DIL myself I see now that life works both ways and in the end we all find ourselves at the other side of the equation. Didn't mean to offend, honest, maybe I should have put a ;) after my comment, but used "bless them" instead, it wasn't meant in a nasty way, more of a gentle nod to differing views of generations / cross cultural marriages! My own mother is of course my husband's MIL, she loves me, him, our DD, even my cat, haha, (and she can't stand cats), but she sometimes ventures forth with the oddest ideas, as no doubt I shall when I become a MIL... Some MIL's DO interfere or offer 'advice' (My own MIL included), mostly with the best of intentions but sometimes through nastiness, I am sure you are one of the former! Really didn't mean to upset all those wonderful MIL's out there, wish I had one!! No offence taken at all, just putting some perspective on the picture :) Doing my best to be the nicest 'Odd creature" I can be;)

The best shampoo is the one that does not contain any of these ingredients ■Propylparaben ■Parahydroxybenzoic acid ■Parahydroxybenzoate ■Methylparaben ■Ethylparaben ■Butylparaben ■Benzyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid ■Methyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid ■Ethyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid ■Propyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid ■Butyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid These synthetic hormone-disrupting chemicals are in shampoo preservatives and can be found even in products that claim to be ‘natural’ and ‘organic.’ Parabens have proven to disrupt the endocrine system, they mimic, disrupt or block the actions of your hormones and interfere with your body’s hormonal pathways. They are readily absorbed thru the skin especially under a hot shower when the skin pores are open. These estrogen mimicing chemicals can cause big problems including weight gain, fluid retention, depression as well as disrupting regulation of fertility, pregnancy, menstruation and cause weight gain. Avoid them as much as you can! so which Shampoo do you use? FM - I dont use any commericial brand as quite honestly even the so called organic ones have got some of these ingredients, I make my own organic shampoo.

Just for clarification, I have been on the phone to DUBAI MALL and there is ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD OR DRINK PROVISIONS available..... Take away can be bought but NOT CONSUMED on the premises, or in your car. This is a government directive not the malls decision, All applications for licenses were REJECTED ! You are correct GN 30 July- "While DED had granted permission to some restaurants last Ramadan to allow them to serve food before iftar, such permission had not been extended to any establishments this year, Al Falasi said. "We did grant this permission to [a'> few restaurants last year after designing certain decoration in the restaurant that would cover the dining area but this didn't work. We received many applications from different restaurants in Dubai offering better decorations, but all have been disapproved," the official added. So it would seem that all outlets are following this directive and there will be no where to eat out during fasting hours inside of any Mall. http://gulfnews.com/business/retail/restaurants-urged-caution-while-serving-food-parcels-1.844818 <em>edited by Di@DXB on 03/08/2011</em>

Yes its another of those Jumeirah something places that's not actually anywhere near Jumeirah. Jumeirah Park (formally known as Jumeirah Village North) was due for completion 2009, the developer is Nakheel and the project was stalled in 2010. Construction has restarted under a new schedule for completion set for 2012. In April this year is was said to be at 55% completion, one can only hope for the sake of those who invested in payment plans to purchase that they will eventually get their properties only 3 years late.

Excellent idea, I just got back from MOE and there's no screened off areas in any of the restaurents there this year, I asked the info desks and they said the only place to eat or drink inside MOE is in the baby change room. Seems this year they are not permitting cafes to have the partitoned off option at all, I would be interested to know if anyone has checked out any other mall today.

Tried it and it did not give me any extension, still expiry 2011 :( Just like me :( CP I just called 101, and they said "we are offering this to selected customers only", and he explained that dialing into *122*2341# will not activate the offer if you have not been selected already. He said dialing that number only shows you the expiry status anyway. But he did add that eventually we all will get the renewal until 2037 automatically and it will be done in phases. So there's still hope for us! :) We are just not in the first phase. <em>edited by Di@DXB on 01/08/2011</em>

Hi there, I would say get the Thai certifed even if its only a copy. Alternatively, could you get married again in Oz uder Oz law, that would solve it! If not you could get a 'Relationship proof' drawn up in Oz , this would probably entail you going to a notary public in Oz and having a simple stat dec drawn up which you would then be able to get attested by your Foreign Office and then have that attested by the UAE Embassy. A relationship cert seems to be acceptable acc to here http://www.dubai.ae/en.portal?topic,visitvisafam,1,&_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=home I will try to find out for you if a copy of an attested Thai cert is ok, its the first day of Ramadan here so it may take a while! You can e-chat your questions with DNRD here- http://amer.ae/amerchat.htm (not sure what the working hours will be in Ramadan) Best of luck with the move :) <em>edited by Di@DXB on 01/08/2011</em>

This happened to us - albeit we paid a 2000dhs holding fee. They told us it would be refunded once they received the security deposit. We changed our minds also due to some negative aspects, but we had to forgo our money. It was better to do this than continue with a contract and villa that we were unhappy with. Since this happened to us, we were very conscience about the whole deposit thing. I don't believe it is normal practice to ask for a holding fee, but it not illegal or uncommon either. Thems the breaks!! As for the actual security deposit, this is normally non-refundable if you decide to not go ahead with the contract, but refundable at the end of the tenancy. What is the value of the rent? Is the 5k equivalent to 5% of the rent? 5 % is usually the amount of the security deposit, which would be non-refundable in this case (but should go to LL and not agency - and you can always speak to the LL about this as well - they may opt to refund if it was indeed passed on to LL), but 5% is also equivalent to the agency commission, in which case, this should be refundable if they do NOT sign an actual contract (probably why the agent wants them to sign ASAP!). Does it have anywhere on the receipt that the amount is NON-REFUNDABLE? If not, then they probably have a case to claim it back with the police if it is considered an an agency fee. If considered as a security deposit then I would say it is gone... Thanks SD for your input, No the receipt does not have non-refundable on it anywhere, so what you explain gives me hope for them, as for what the deposit represents is not certain, as you say 5k it could be the security deposit or the commission as that exact amount could be for either considering its 5% of the rent and the receipt does not specify either. However the cheque was made out to the Agent not the LL. They have filed an online RERA complaint form explaining it all and they wait to see if RERA will intervene at all.

The deposit could have been a holding deposit too. These can be requested to secure the property and stop anyone else renting it before you get round to signing the tenancy. They would normally be non refundable if the tenant decides not to go ahead, which is fair enough as the agent may have missed out on other prospective tenants plus the landlord might now have a longer void period. You can't have it both ways- bagsy a villa then want a refund if you pull out! Although if the cheque was made in the agent's name not the real estate co. Name or the lanlord's name then that does sound very dodgy. The reason they are not going to sign the contract is they discovered the villa has some negative aspects not shown to them during their inspection, so they are not just mind changing without good reason. I would have thought in this case that they would be entitled to some form of refund as they have not signed any contract yet, from what you explain it seems they stand to take a complete loss of the deposit for changing their minds. It does not seem fair in their case as they were mislead by the agent. <em>edited by Di@DXB on 30/07/2011</em>

Who did they make the check out to - was it in the name of the agent of the real estate? Maybe they should make a trip to the real estate office and speak to the person who owns/runs the agency. The RE office may or may not be aware of the agent collecting the check if it was in his/her name. By going to the office they will make the person in charge aware of what happened, if they weren't aware of it, and if they are, you can ask for your money back or that the deposit be applied to another property. If made payable to the real estate office, you can talk to them and mention that if it can't be resolved, you would be reporting it to RERA to raise a case against them. I don't think there is much that they can do if the check is in the agent's name- more than likely they were scammed by the agent but they can try going to the police to file a report. The agent/RE agency would have to specify what the deposit is for. I am not sure who pays the agency fee - if it's the owner or the tenant, but agent's/agencies try to collect from both sides. edited by Crystil on 30/07/2011 Good idea too, thanks, the cheque was made out to the agent, they should go in and talk to the owner and at least get the amount transferred to another property.

@m. you cannot stop a cheque even post dated in Dubai.As I said earlier, the poor OP'friends havebeen robbed. Fortunately they have a receipt. It may not be worth much but to the police it proves they paid out 5,000dhs. They can file a police case. Their chances of recovering their money may be slim but they can try. Thanks for the idea, I'll suggest they go file a police case if RERA cannot help, I think they may have some rights since the agent is trying to pressure them into signing the contract now. That makes me think he is hurrying them to commit to the contract becasue they still do have the right to change their minds before signing, I hope thats the case.

umm - am not sure if i am misunderstanding BUT it looks like they gave the agent a deposit to hold the villa - they then withdrew, i understood that any holding deposit were non-refundable if you withdrew from the arrangement..... That is what i understood for here and the UK.... Are you sure that is the standard here and would that be the case even if no contract had been signed at all? It's not the standard here to hand over any money at all without contracts - so not really sure "standard" applies in this case - what does the receipt say? It just says 'deposit' but does not specify if its the security deposit or a deposit towards rent or the agent commission.

they should have given a post dated cheque that way they could have blocked it. why did they gave the cheque in first place?? is it their first time in dubai coz agents fees is around 5000....and before signing contract no fees is given! there is no way around this problem if they don't have any record or reciept. do they know RERA id no of the agent? They do have a receipt for the 5k cheque signed by the agent and the agent is registered with RERA, I got the ID number from the RERA hotline but thats all they could help with. Yes with hindsight they should not have given it at all at that stage as they have not entered into contract for the property, not sure if post dated would have helped in this case if the agent was not intending to refund it anyway, and now the agent is trying to force them to sign up on the contract a month earlier than the initial enquiry and refuses to return the cheque. So do you know if they have they right to ask for the cheque back? <em>edited by Di@DXB on 30/07/2011</em>

Possibly the reason you could not obtain any information is that there seems to have been an about turn in allowing screend off areas for non Muslims to eat before sunset. GN today "While DED had granted permission to some restaurants last Ramadan to allow them to serve food before iftar, such permission had [b'>not been extended to any establishments this year[/b'>, Al Falasi said. "We did grant this permission to [a'> few restaurants last year after designing certain decoration in the restaurant that would cover the dining area but this didn't work.

I totally feel for your situation, I had a similar experience with another firm here, after having paid for door to door the handling agent at the other end said they had not been paid to deliver it to us at all nor paid for port costs and storage. They held my shipment to ransom for a month incurring daily charges, until I was able to get someone in Dubai to sort it out at this end. Truly understand the nightmare you are going through and do hope you get this resolved, I think you need to file a complaint against them in Dubai, have you tried any legal action here yet? <em>edited by Di@DXB on 30/07/2011</em>
