阿布扎比房东拒拒绝更新我的租赁合同怎么办？

房东拒拒绝更新我的租赁合同 作拆迁腾地用作租户索赔的借口

两年前，我在AbuDhabi租了一栋别墅。预计会在里面居住至少五年以上，故花了很多钱来装修，保养。然而，我在房地产办公室办理为期两年的租赁合同手续时，对方向我保证，以后的租金不会增加，同等条件下每两年后更新签订一份租赁合同续租即可。这是一个口头上的承诺，而不是一个书面协议。一个月前，房地产公司经理来信通知我说：“业主想要拆除并重建别墅。要求我在房屋租赁合同今年10月底到期时搬离。”因别墅保养良好，我认为对方并无更新租赁合同的意愿。根据阿联酋法律租赁法我有哪些法律追索权？

如遇拆迁，阿布扎比租赁法要求房东遵守第6段第23条规定。第一，该房地至少15年前已建成。其次，房东需要通过主管部门允许以获得必要的拆迁权限。因此，提问者可以回绝房东的要求，并给地产办公室发回信寻求更新续租合同。如果房东或房地产公司代理人不予响应也不续签合同。那么提问者应向所设委员会提起申诉以调查解决租金纠纷问题。

离职津贴

无限劳动合同，我曾在一家公司作了5年以上的销售经理。薪酬包括工资和其他待遇。两月前，尽管该公司运营良好并处于盈利，用人单位却转让了公司。我的问题是新雇主要求我描述职位变化并转到公司的另一分部门工作。新置降级，我也不得不接受减薪。我向公司提交辞呈1月后辞职。通知满期后，我要求该公司解决我的离职待遇问题，但新雇主拒绝了我的要求。他声称，他没有义务来解决我为前任雇主工作的福利待遇问题。他声称，他们认为前任雇主签订的劳动合同销售协议规定，前雇主应全权负责先前员工的福利待遇问题。而新雇主仅对新员工负责。我应该如何行使自己的合法权利？按照阿联酋劳动法，以前的或新的雇主，谁应负责我的权利？

阿联酋劳动法第126条规定：“凡企业形式发生变化或法人地位发生変更，新雇主与任职期间老员工的合同应继续有效。原雇主和新雇主在半年内均应当共同对这些员工承担福利待遇责任;任期满后，新雇主应独立承担全部责任。”
