Den & Anil PAttathil ALexander : No alternate if System down then you may wait for some days
Normally tenant can ask landlord before 3 months if he/she wants to renew or not.
Some have direct contract with landlord while some times agencies/state agent involved. usually agencies inform/ask in advance but sometimes landlord does not.
Can someone reply my message please?

My real estate agency is charging me 1,000 for renewal fees for my lease renewal, 120 for contract, 74 for Tasjeel and 2% municipality fees. I believe they are charging too much. My lease contract expire on 11 February 2021.
First, Can I choose not to pay the unnecessary charges? if there is any?
Second, Can I just renew my contract myself? How? Thank you so much for the advise.
better to visit municipality office and check with them may be they have other policy
Apartment is rented directly from owner.. he is asking 2 months rent as fine for not given 60 days notice.. plz advice if by law he can ask for 2 months fine
if you doesn't have any written contract about advance notification better to visit municipality office ASAP and explain ur issue.
its really depends on landlords. I vacant it without any notice when my contract end. and they didn't ask any fines or extra charges
Please guide me what should i do.
Thanks
may be your agency is asking service charges , documentation charges e.g typing etc. Asked details from them

can i present my expired tenancy to renew my daughter's visa? because my expired tenancy has a municipal stamp on it and the renewed one doesn't.
i ask the sales persob of my flat he said no need to stamp it again because its akready registered in sharjah municipality. the stamp means its attested?
and di i need to get a stamp/attested everytime I'm going to renew my daughter's visa?
thanking u in Advance.
unless there is some issue and you convinced immigration officer
the landlord's send PRO and lawyer to same office to settle the issue. later the fine were removed from bill.
either you can go with ur friends or cctv of ur building or watchmen of ur building can prove this.
better to go some person who can speak arabic well.
