Rera prohibits raising the rent by more than 5 per cent if the rent is more than 25 per cent below the market rate. Landlords must also give 90 days' notice of any proposed rent increase, and the rent may be raised only if both parties agree. If the do not, the landlord must ask Rera for a review.
"The notion that the landlord can kick out the tenant and fix an arbitrary rent at their own discretion as they see fit - that's incorrect," Ms Yamalova said.
"Basically, the tenant does not have to do anything. The default rule is that the same terms of the original contract automatically apply on renewal," she said.
"If the tenant does not agree and the landlord insists on the increase then the landlord must take it to the Rent Committee, and whoever files with the Rent Committee has to pay a 3.5 per cent filing fee."

I'd love one.

Can't though. 0100 pick of the Mrs' family. I'm talking mother, brother, nan and great aunt. Thank god we've got two apartments.

Patsy Stoned

OMG!! What on earth are you going to do with the great aunt and the Nan??? Ah...thinking about it..they are probably close to my age!!!
Maybe I should take them out...I will take them clubbing

BTW.. did you organise a "meet and greet" for them? Otherwise they will be stuck at immigration for ever. You can call Ahlan meet and greet now and pay when you get to the airport

Patsy is immigration likely to be a nightmare tomorrow morning? I'm popping over for the day. I wasn't sure if it was worth doing the meet and greet thing?

Patsy Stoned

Marvellous thank you. I did feel like a bit of a knob doing it with only hand luggage last time that was in the way back in to Doha. It was nice walking past all the queuing people though.

600 dibs? **** it, they can queue. Especially if Its being suggested that 'we' (me mainly) pay for everyone to go to Al Qasr

Meow

You pay for all of her family? You're not even married.

Don't be a sucker.

The e-gate card is as fast as the meet and greet, normally it only takes me 5 minutes to get through dxb. Its around 40 dollars for 2 years I think.

Patsy Stoned

Yes, but if you have visitors who do not regularly come to Dubai then it is a nice thing to do for them, especially if they are 1st time visitors.
I always get meet and greet for my guests and also send a private car for them, it is awful having to queue for taxis at certain times of the day/night.
That way they arrive at my house, stress free and I have the bubbly cooling for their welcome drinks

The meet and greet is particularly good thing for people who are not experienced travellers, or who are elderly.
