thanks all for your info and advice I think the email will be accepted from what I can read here as my husband acknowledged receipt. He only gave 10,5 months notice with no valid reason in the email so will take it to RC for advice on Sunday.

@sarahlou123 Do you know where the people who queried it with RC got their info? Did they go in person? I will go next week to find out but will need to take 4year-old DS along :-( I would like to know it the email will suffice, if so, I think we don´t have a leg to stand on and DH will lose in court, not to mention just waste his time.

I agree with most of you on this forum and prefer to move but DH will not move as our lease is up mid August and we are not here over summer. If we move in June we will lose 2 months rent and it´s Ramadan so difficult to get DEWA,... sorted ... We will pay in increase in rental price but LL doesn´t seem interested ... need to try to negotiate with him I guess. thanks for all the advice, good luck to all

Thanks for the advice, a bit of gray area here though. My husband acknowledged receipt of the emailed letter (he didn´t sign for it) just replied by mail that he had received it. It is not 12 months before the end but roughly 11 months. The letter officially states "personal reasons" not one of the 4 reasons for eviction given by the law. Also he agrees we have been great tenants. Not sure if we have a case here. Does anyone know if and where I can go to ask the Rent Committee if it is worth persuing a case with them? Also, what should I do then? thanks for your help

Hi, Would like to know how this ended as am in a similar situation. We renewed the lease in august 2013. We got an email from the landlord more than a month later saying he wouldn´t renew in aug 2014 for "personal reasons". Am I right in thinking this is not correct for the following reasons: 1) it is not 12 months notice 2) we didn´t get a notarized or registered mail letter but an email (not sure if he can prove we got it, didn´t sign anything 3) personal reasons is not one of the reasons a landlord can evict you, he keeps telling us (not mailing) that he wants to sell but not sure this is true We really want to stay in the house, don´t mind if the price goes up. Does anyone think this is worth going to the rent committee for? thanks

Hi Dimycat Thank you for your input. To be honest, I have no complaints about Silicon Oasis at all. The only thing is the distance. At the moment, I am thinking of keeping my son there. Am hearing the same vibes as you

I am also interested. The maid I have had for 3 years finishes her contract with the company in November and I want to sponsor her now. I am not sure about the procedure either. The company doesn´t treat her very well so she doesn´t really want me to contact them, however, I want to apply for her visa once they have cancelled hers. I don´t want them to send her out of the country as it will just take longer and be more complicated I think. She agrees with me. Any suggestions?

I think I will break the record. My DS was only 3 days old, the day after I came home from hospital I needed an additional checkup. DH was not available ... I had no choice but in the end, it got me driving.

I used Rhonda from Doulas of Dubai. I also know Joyce. I would definitely recommend a Doula. Best decision we ever made.

Am having the same problem. DS is almost 11 months old, very active but easily bored. He seems to need a lot of variation. Have used a variety of plastic containers for him to play with in the kitchen while I am preparing vegetables,... He also just loves to go outside so I take him to the park almost every day or definitively for a walk. He loves crawling in the garden or in the sand. I also agree with a large variety of toys. I bought many second hand. DS goes from one toy to the other in our living room. I will definitely try the tent/tunnel and the balloons as that seems easy enough. Let me know if you have any other ideas.

I am also a teacher and was faced with the same problem ... returning after only 45 days. I looked at at least 15 nurseries, many quite nice but I need to be in school at 7.30 - 7.45 at the very latest and there was not a single nursery willing to take the baby before 7.30 leaving me only a few minutes to get to school. Impossible... I ended up taking a "maid" through a cleaning company who also does babysitting. I have trained her and she has now been with us for 7 months. Am quite happy with this as we don´t sponsor her, she doesn´t live with us and my house is also spotless :-) She has 2 sons of her own and is doing a great job with my DS

I had the same problem with my DS. The diapers he was wearing for the first month or so (Huggies) suddenly didn´t seem to do it anymore. I agree, changing brands just solved my problem. Am now going for pampers (orange) sleep and play. My son is now 10 months and have seen leaking again so will try a new type to see if that solves the problem.
