My 125k rental lease is coming for renewal. Need advice finding another apartment

My 125k rental lease is coming for a renewal. Need help finding good apartment areas

I have a 2BD + Maid apartment near Meydan area. I live with my girlfriend. My yearly lease is about to be renewed in August.

We're looking to move away from here and 125k AED + 7k AED deposit (which I don't think we'll get back) feels expensive now because of budget issues.

I don't think I'll be able to negotiate the rent with the owner (it's a company)

It'd be really nice if I could get a 2BD + Maid apartment again.

I don't want to move to Sharjah. I work from home and I prefer Dubai.

My questions

- Do you think the apartment rents are going to go down during summers? Would I be able to find a similar apartment around 70k-90k? I'm willing to compromise on the maids room if it's even lesser

- I have been living in Dubai for over 2yrs now but since I WFH I don't go out much. What are some other affordable areas?

My girlfriend and I likes to go out every weekend to Dubai mall for movies/shopping. We like to go for a walk at night etc.

Guy threatening me for leaving a bad review

I had a horrible experience with a mobile shop. I bought one phone from them and they said they can give me another one after changing the battery.

I spent about an hour and they kept delaying. And said they're changing battery chip or something. I felt something sketchy and I said I don't want to buy now

I asked for the first phone reciept but they refused to give me. Their group started pressuring me into buying it said it's my fault why I asked them to open (I didn't they said they can do it in 15 minutes)

I didn't want to fight so I walked away without the receipt and changing cable. One of them called me and said it's Dubai. I'll call police for the bad review and then sent message on WhatsApp.

In review I said "goon behaviour" and trying to "strong arm me". Although it's from another Gmail ID. Not my name.

I edited the goon sentence after someone asked me edit it in a civil manner

Am I in trouble? What's the point of review if I can't post it?

Edit: One of the guys who was friendly and sold me the first phone called me and said he's sorry on the behalf of the other guy and requested me to delete the review.

I said I didn't put any review I don't know what you're talking about.

He said "badi meharbani hogi agar delete kar doge to" (I'd be grateful if you remove it).

Should I remove it? His voice felt the other guy (the actual goon) might be scolding him because he was reasonable with me. The gooner is probably owner or his boss. I think I'll remove it

Am I in trouble? What's the point of review if I can't post it? In the worst case if police calls me. What should I say? Should I admit the review? I have the means to fight the case if need be. And I'm petty. These scammers should be punished for daylight robbery
