Rents, rights and renewals

We focus on Dubai’s property market as thousands of leases come up for renewal over the summer. Dr Yousef Al Mansoori, Senior First Instance Judge at Dubai’s Rental Disputes Centre, explains the rights tenants and landlords need to know, the most common rental disputes, and whether record activity in the market is leading to more cases. We also look at the expansion of Dubai’s First-Time Home Buyer Programme, after it generated more than five billion dirhams in property sales. Plus, with major e-scooter accidents in the UAE rising by 97 per cent this year, Thomas Edelmann from Road Safety UAE joins us to discuss what needs to change. And, as World Cup fever builds, we hear from a UAE-based listener who has launched a free prediction platform for football fans.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
