But, as a water user, I do not know how the water gets on the floor otherwise. Except sometimes the hose is turned to full power and blows! Hence preliminary testing requirements. Any idea how it ends up on the back of the door, or even the ceiling?!!

Whether or not the rents indicated on Dubizzle and by agents are realistic or not is difficult to know. What is shocking is the increase in rents indicated by the rent calculator. These figures are supposedly based on figures taken from tenancy contracts being registered, so a mix of renewals and new contracts. When we renewed our tenancy in March, the rent calculator indicated a 3 bed in Arabian Ranches was in the region 150000-190000. Today, the same rent calculator tells me that the rent now for a 3 bedroom villa in AR is now 200000-240000. That's a bottom rate increased of 33% in less than 6 months. How can this possibly be sustainable? It is leading to a significant number of existing tenants currently being given notice on renewal because the landlord claims that they wish to sell their property. Time will tell whether these landlords are genuinely going to sell..... Same story in the Marina. A one-bed was quoted as AED 50,000-90,000 about 3 months ago. It's now up to AED80,000-110,000. That's a 60% increase!! We really do now have no hope if the one system designed to protect tenants from excessive price rises is simultaneously shafting us. While there are undoubtedly some very nice 1-bed places in the Marina, there are others that are extremely rundown and shouldn't cost anywhere near AED 80k of anyone's money. These unsustainable rises in the rental calculator will be what drives the market to tipping point as it now legally gives landlords carte blanche to charge WAY over the odds for some very inferior properties. One of the other posters mentioned the ridiculously overinflated prices that landlords paid in the first place having an impact on all of this. I personally know of one person whose rental income comes nowhere near close to covering the mortgage repayments he has to make, even at the ridiculous rates mentioned above. So it certainly must be a factor.

The guy did try to pull a fast one on me though, he said the clutch was slipping so tried to get a bigger discount, I very quickly informed him that automatics dont have a clutch. (I know nothing about cars but I just said that and acted very confident) All cars have a clutch mechanism, including automatics. It's just that in an automatic it isn't activated via a visible foot pedal.

Thanks Ladies for confirming what I thought. It really was a bolt from the blue, we've been very good tenants (even though we do say so ourselves) and I never thought it would happen to us. But, he's thinking he can probably get an additional 40K instead of less than 10, which is what the rental calculator says. The only dilemma now is, do we bite the bullet and try and find somewhere else now, which aggrieves me somewhat, or, when we have to find somewhere at the end of next year, if the bubble doesn't burst, will we end up having to fork out even more rent than we would if we moved now??? Oh, what a kerfuffle. Not only does he have to give you 12 months, he also has to give you a reason why he wants you out. And that reason has to be justifiable and provable as per the relevant laws quoted below. So definitely stand your ground. A polite email quoting the relevant laws usually does the trick as most of these landlords know the score; they're just hoping you don't. <em>edited by HereComesTheSun on 12/09/2013</em>

I'd advise you to have the DEWA switched over to your name regardless. You can't be registered with Ejari without it, which can cause its own problems, and certain unscrupulous landlords have been known to get DEWA turned off in order to force eviction. Putting it in your name takes that control away from them. Whatever the cost implications were, I'd want to have the DEWA in my name.

Skype.com isn't blocked anymore, so you should be able to download it without any issues. You can also get it from sites like download.com, without any need for a VPN. I use it for Skype to Skype calls, which are free and don't require a VPN. I used to also use it for Skype to Mobile/Landline, which you had to pay for. You also had to use a VPN for this, but that might have changed (I've not tried it for about 2 years). <em>edited by HereComesTheSun on 10/09/2013</em>

The 'landlord's discretion' clause is not worth the paper it's written on as it runs contrary to the law of the land. It's included in most contracts these days, but don't pay any attention to it; no one else does, as it's not legally binding in any sense whatsoever, and that comes directly from the Rent Committee. However, do make sure you're registered with Ejari before proceeding with any disputes as you may well find yourself hung out to dry if you don't.

It seems quite unique to Dubai, that landlords are perfectly happy to put a ridiculous price on an apartment and let it sit empty for 6+ months. And don't get me started how ridiculous the 1 or 2-cheque system is. I'm currently bouncing from short-term let to short-term let every 2 months and paying through the nose for it as like most 25-year olds with a new business, I cannot afford to drop 100+k up front on an apartment It might not be the most desirable place to live but most apartments in TECOM are rented out for 4-6 cheques (some even more). Get yourself set in a place there for a year and save yourself lots of money and hassle in the process. You'll then be in a much better position to move to somewhere of you choosing after 12 months.

You can say no as he is not entitled, but just be prepared to receive 12 months notice. What do you mean by this? Are you saying he can change it to a non renewable contract? Even if it it less than 2 months until we renew? He can give you 12 months notice at the end of your current contract without needing to give you 3 months notice. sorry - and does he need to give a reason? Yes.

We will have to agree to disagree on landlords. They seemed happy enough with the rent they were making over the past few years; can't see any justification as to why all landlords in Dubai suddenly desperately need to recover their cash over the last 6 months. Far more likely is that agents and landlords saw an opportunity with the Arab Spring and the start of some construction projects and are now trying to convince us there's some sort of property shortage. There isn't. The real estate market here is effectively run as a cartel. Price fixing is the absolute standard and the market is not at the mercy of supply and demand in any real sense of the theory. Instead, it is at the mercy of greedy agents who mislead overseas landlords and fleece desperate renters so they can secure as much 'reward' as possible for their paltry efforts in renting a place out. I too fear for the future of the country when very simple lessons consistently go unlearned. Nothing at all has been done to address the huge problem of rental scammers in the market (making the whole process a truly harrowing experience), and now we're heading straight down the exact same path that caused so much trouble several years ago. It's mind boggling really.

Don't let her mess you around with the viewings. Set a time that suits you for each week (e.g. 6-8pm on Mondays) and stick to it. She and her agents will have to work around that. Learn from my mistake and don't go down the laissez-faire flexible route with this as they will royally take the p*ss and have people turning up at all times of the day and night.

Stories like this give me a mental image of someone cruising down an open road in an expensive, no roof car; wind in their hair, throwing their head back... Then a brick wall appears on the road. Had they looked at the road signs, they would have seen the warnings, but they were too caught up in the feeling of the road, the luxury transport, that they convinced themselves the signs were not for them. What's the view like up there? What? Don't tell me HCTS, nothing is there fault? noone can take responsibility for their own actions and choices?

From a legal perspective, I am not an expert, but I don't believe it is illegal to visit a boy in his apartment? I could be wrong... But just because his landlord saw you go in and stay, he has no idea, nor proof, of what you do behind closed doors. But get some expert advice on this matter if you feel you need it. Just my opinion. It is illegal, which is why she should just walk away from all of this. Even reporting it to the UK Embassy may result in the involvement of the police as it is a crime that has happened in this country. You will then have some serious questions to answer. Walk away from this completely and put it all down to (a very bad) experience.

The Rent Committee should be your first port of call in this situation as they deal with disputes between tenants and landlords. (04 221 5555) RERA is the governing regulatory body for the real estate industry. So if you encounter problems with an agent, these are the people you should call. EJARI is just the name given to the process of registering your tenancy contract with RERA. It's not really a regulatory agency in its own right.

It's a complete pain and a major inconvenience, but it only covers online banking (maybe telephone banking as well) so he should be able to access his account in person without any problems if he visits a branch in Doha. They've been rolling these devices out in Dubai for at least a year now, so he should have been warned about this numerous times already when accessing his online account.

When our neighbours were given notice, three months in to their new contract, they visited the Land Department and they were told that they would have to vacate after 12 months had elapsed from the date of the notice. I guess it's another example of inconsistency in the interpretation. It will be interesting to see how this develops over the next few months, hopefully people will come on here and recount their first hand experiences with the process. Maybe if you are told in plenty of time, the 12 months starts from the date of notification, but if you are not told until after the standard 90-day period for changes to be made has elapsed then you get another full year. However, I'm just speculating there based on the example you've given. My experience was being notified 50 days before the contract ended and the Rent Committee told my landlord in no uncertain terms that he must give a full 12 months' notice with a new contract.

I think there is still a lack of clarity on the length of notice. The law, as far as I understand it does not specifically refer to contract start and end dates. It actually states as below '' the determined date of eviction'. That has been interpreted as the date which is 12 months hence from the date of the notice, therefore the maximum notice is always 12 months. However I am happy to be proved wrong on this if anyone has first hand experience. Also not sure about the new contract having to state 'non renewable'. We were given 12 months notice at the start of our new contract, but the actual new contract has not been changed to state non- renewable. As more and more people are being given notice to quit, hopefully the application of the law will become clearer, as more cases go to the rent committee. There are going to be an awful lot of villas for sale in Dubai, judging by the current trend. It is definitely 12 months from the end of the existing tenancy agreement. I've been through this myself and know others who have as well. All tenancy contracts in Dubai are considered to be renewable unless explicitly stated otherwise. I have no idea what happens in the case of the correct notice being given without such a stipulation in the actual contract, but I do know you are meant to be issued with a non-renewable contract under such circumstances. I'm not saying the notice becomes invalid without this, just that this is the correct procedure.

The law is very clear on this. [b'>2. Landlord may demand eviction of tenant upon expiry of tenancy contract limited to the following cases: a. If the owner wishes to demolish the property for reconstruction or to add new constructions that prevent tenant from benefiting from the leased property, provided that necessary licences are obtained. b. If the property requires renovation or comprehensive maintenance which cannot be executed while tenant is occupying the property, provided that a technical report issued by Dubai Municipality or accredited by it is to be submitted to this effect. c. If the owner of the property wishes to recover the property for use by him personally or by his next of kin of first degree provided that he proves that he does not own a suitable alternative property for that purpose. d. If the owner of the property wishes to sell the leased property. And for the purpose of clause (2) of this Article, landlord must notify tenant with reasons for eviction at least twelve months prior to the determined date of eviction subject that such notice be sent through the Notary Public or by registered mail. http://www.awf.ae/law-33-2008.html[/b'> So, for RuthM, the year's notice starts on August 1st, 2014 (i.e., you must vacate on July 31 2015). Owners are told by the Rent Committee that they shouldn't enter into rental agreements if they are not capable of committing to at least two consecutive years, as that is the tenant's right. He also has to prove that he doesn't have an alternative property to live in, and he isn't allowed to rent the property out for (I think) a period of two years. So, technically, you ca claim compensation from him for your move if you can somehow prove that the property was rented out again within 2 years. As for Betti, your 12 months' notice starts on September 26th. Legally, he is obliged to issue written notice by notary public or registered mail before that date, but some people have been informed by the Rent Committee that email is also valid. The contract should also clearly state 'NON-RENEWABLE' at the top of the first page. Technically, if he is late in giving you that notice, you would indeed be able to stay until September 2015, but it is for you to decide whether you think that would be reasonable or not. <em>edited by HereComesTheSun on 14/08/2013</em>

Whatever you do, don't start spying or snooping as suggested by some of the others. There really isn't any evidence here and this situation could very quickly spiral way out of control based on some very flimsy suspicions. Maybe come home unannounced a couple of times to see if anything's going on, but definitely don't start hacking into emails, tapping phones or rigging up cameras. I understand your concerns, but I do suspect you're being tad paranoid here.

I'd take their offer of a 10k increase if I was you. By rocking the boat you are running the risk of being issued with 12 months' notice to vacate. Under those circumstances, a 5% increase is not unreasonable, in my opinion. If you're fine with moving on in 12 months, then by all means fight your corner.

The rule about there being no increase in the 2nd year has gone. It can now be increased for any year, but only in line with the RERA Rental Calculator. Tell her to plug her details into here http://www.dubailand.gov.ae/English/eServices/RentalIncreaseCalculatorEN.aspx and it will tell her what increase is allowed. It will most likely be 0% unless her rent was way below market value last year. And even if there is scope for an increase, it will only be 5-7%. Also, any changes to the contract (including rent increases) are meant to be relayed to the tenant at least 90 days before the expiry date, but I don't see how that can actually work as the calculator only works two months in advance. <em>edited by HereComesTheSun on 01/08/2013</em>

I'd advise people to do this no matter where they're moving to, but it really is a disgrace that the wrong people are being targeted yet again. What motivation does the landlord have to pay his dues when the year's rent cheque has already been cashed into his account? And as for the agents conspiring in this 'fraud', they should be reported to RERA, locked up and deported. That might finally send a notice out to the market that these cowboys will no longer be tolerated.

My concern is that he knows we are leaving next week so is going to try and drag this out probably so he can try and keep the deposit. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Yes, don't give him the keys back until he pays up. He then has the choice of kicking his own door down (with the repair costs that entails) or handing back your deposit. Tell him the deadline is 3 days before you leave.

I'm no expert, but I suspect your landlord will attempt to hide behind one of the following two clauses in LAW NO. 33 OF 2008: http://www.awf.ae/law-33-2008.html [b'>Article (25) 2. Landlord may demand eviction of tenant upon expiry of tenancy contract limited to the following cases: a. If the owner wishes to demolish the property for reconstruction or to add new constructions that prevent tenant from benefiting from the leased property, provided that necessary licences are obtained. b. If the property requires renovation or comprehensive maintenance which cannot be executed while tenant is occupying the property, provided that a technical report issued by Dubai Municipality or accredited by it is to be submitted to this effect.[/b'> Assuming he will have to obtain a specific licence to become a Hotel Apartment, he will most likely attempt to use the first clause to have you evicted at the end of your current contract. I'm not saying he will be right or successful in taking this approach, just that this seems the most likely. But the first thing you need to do is speak to him directly to find out what his plans are and how they affect you, as you're currently basing it on hearsay.

Is your Omega an automatic/mechanical watch or a quartz? If it's the former, then obviously it can't be a battery problem and it will need a full service (AED1,500 sounds about right). If it's a quartz, it might just be a battery problem, in which case tell them that is all you want them to do initially.

Just dug my contract out and turns out our contract runs out on 5 th oct not 10 th....... And they have only given 88 days notice of increase. Had an email back saying that the rise was justified because they will be refitting the gym...... Hmmm I can get a gym membership for less than 20000 dhs a yr lol and 50 villas at 20000 increase each it must be a magical gym that burns fat away just by walking in the door lol It's also entirely irrelevant, as you're an existing tenant with an existing contract. Tell them that they are required by law to give the full 90 days' notice for any changes to the current contract and that as this period has passed, you will now only accept any increase in line with the Rental Calculator. I wouldn't even bother wasting your time contacting the Rent Committee as the agency will know the score and should back down once you start quoting the relevant laws at them. They're just relying on ignorance of tenants' rights.

Tell the agent that you agree in principle to renew in line with any increase stipulated by the RERA Rental Calculator at the actual time of renewal, which, incidentally, is on Oct 10th, not now. You are under no obligation to sign anything now or hand over any cheques. They are obliged to inform you of any increase they wish to impose 90 days before renewal, which they have done, but that doesn't give them carte blanche to impose any increase they have plucked out of thin air, and you certainly don't have to accept it. You have the right to say it's unfair without automatically being forced out of the villa. They've made their proposal, and you should reject it, quoting the opening line of this post. At that point, the rental calculator makes the decision. That's the whole point of the system so don't let them bully you into anything you don't agree with.

I've just tried Mankhool for you and it works up to August 31, but not from September 1, so just change your renewal date.

The affection plan will definitely be available from somewhere, but you're probably going to need your landlord to pull his finger out and start getting serious about trying to help you rather than fobbing you off with lies. Incidentally, there have been threads on here recently stating that the authorities have shown some leniency in this regard, so don't give up all hope.

It may well be that he doesn't even have the Title Deeds; many, many landlords don't as they can be expensive and they only want to pay for them when they come to selling the property. An alternative to the Title Deed is the Affection Plan, as this also shows the plot number, which is all Ejari are interested in. If you're in an apartment, you should be able to get this from the building management office. If you're in a villa, I'm afraid I can't help, but I guess the developers would have copies of the Affection Plans.
