My rent renewal
 

No change for Villa de la Millhouse.

He wants to sell and potentially vacate me in 12 months - no problem with that. He overpaid so much for it I doubt that he will sell it.

Re: My rent renewal
 

He needs to give you 12 months notice by registered mail or notary public with reasons for why he is evicting you. As per Law number 33 of 2008, Article 25, Clause 2.

Re: My rent renewal
 

What is it costing you? If you don't mind me asking.

Re: My rent renewal
 

170,000 for a 'type 1E' in Honky Ranches.

Previously I paid 160 for two years, 170 for one year and now 170 again. I can live with that.

Re: My rent renewal
 

Thanks. We'll cross that difficult bridge when he sells it and I'm screwing the sale process / new landlord.

Re: My rent renewal
 

If he doesn't follow the process you are legally entitled to screw it :D Unless, of course, he offers you a wedge to move out.

Re: My rent renewal
 

Ok, not bad. I am in the throes of a recruitment process* to move to Abu Dhabi so just have an interest in this stuff now.

*the process involves calling me incessantly for a week, then disappearing of the face of the earth for a week

Re: My rent renewal
 

I think they same in Abu Dhabi would be... oh, it doesn't exist

Re: My rent renewal
 

*may they have read your book in that time?

Re: My rent renewal
 

Well I should hope everyone has read it.

Seems to be immediate requirement means maybe 2 or 3 months when translated into action. Anyhow this is the second interview where the company has flown me out, offered me the job after the interview and then disappeared for a while, I am mystified by how HR operate

Re: My rent renewal
 

Ramadan
Holidays

Those two things will always cause issues this time of year....especially as they combine and especially because the people you need to sign things off will be on holiday, then their counterpart will be on holiday, then the HR numpty will be on holiday, then they will all have been working zero hours per day.

It's a nightmare. Plus side, month after Ramadan has always been bumper for me :thumbsup:

Re: My rent renewal
 

Nah one of them was in Hong Kong not a muzzer in sight, there must be a universal HR incompetence factor

Re: My rent renewal
 

hmmmm....wonder if he really does want to sell or just wants you out to hoik up the rent to a new tennant and can't be arsed fighting with you.....

That's what I suspect our Landlord wants from us.

Re: My rent renewal
 

same happening to a friend of mine as well

Re: My rent renewal
 

Nah, he isn't doing that. If he was he would have tried it on now.

We have agreed that he will try and sell it (as will be evidenced by viewings) and if he sells it, I will get served my 12 months. If he doesn't sell it, I will stay. All completely in the law and fair to both parties.

I'm confident he won't sell it. He is still about 1million AED out of the money on his initial purchase price.

Compare this to the UK - a new landlord can serve two months notice on an existing tenant and hoof them out without cause.
