3 متاح 3 • عرض الجميعLandlord cashed my rent but won’t renew Ejari unless I accept a higher deposit. What should I do?




0
Q: Hello,
I had a rental dispute case with my landlord. Based on the judgment, I paid the entire rent to the landlord, which the landlord has already cashed.
He is not issuing the Ejari because he wants to increase the security deposit by 10% every year, which I am not accepting. I have already given the 5% security deposit.
The landlord is not accepting it. He is forcing me to sign a new agreement, otherwise he will not renew the lease agreement.
Please let me know what I should do.

Can the real estate company ask for 10% rent increase if the RERA rental index does not allow it?




0
Q: I am residing in Al Nahda 2 area, and the real estate company is asking me for a 10% rent increase from last year. However, checking RERA, there is no increase in the rates in my area as checked today.
Once I told my real estate the same, they said it had to be checked 3 months ago from now. Also, the area they have shown in their RERA is Al Nahda 1, while I reside in Al Nahda 2.

Can I renew my tenancy contract for three months only without any rent increase or penalties?




0
Q: Hi,
I am a tenant living in the same apartment for the last 5 years. My tenancy contract is expiring in the month of May 2025. I want to renew my contract this time but only for 3 months until August.
I communicated the same to my owner through the real estate who is handling the property. Initially, they said that it would be possible but the current market rent would apply.
When I checked, I found they could not increase my rent as per the rental index and I told them this. After that, they said that they would not renew the contract for 3 months.
If I want, I can renew for the entire year and then vacate when I want by paying the penalty of 2 months.
In this scenario, I want to know if it is legally correct on their part to refuse to renew my contract for 3 months.
Can you please guide me?

Is there a possibiliyt of a travel ban against if my father got a ban due to a legal dispute? 0
I am contacting you to verify whether my name appears on a travel ban list for the United Arab Emirates.
To explain the situation: some time ago, I was in Dubai with my father and our family. Following a dispute regarding a vehicle bill — where the person involved acted, in our opinion, dishonestly and tried to charge us more than agreed — my father received a travel ban.
I would like to know if, as a result of this matter, I might also be subject to a travel ban, even though I was not directly involved in the dispute. We do not wish to pursue legal action, as it would be too costly, but I would like to ensure that I can travel freely to Dubai.
Could you please advise on the procedure or check my status?
I can provide my full name, nationality, and passport number to facilitate the verification.

I left the UAE with an unpaid loan and the bank presented my security cheque. Is this legally accepted? 0
Dear Sir,
Warm greetings.
In 2019, I obtained a loan of AED 260,000 from a bank and have since repaid approximately AED 96,000. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I lost my job and was unable to continue payments.
The bank later bounced a security cheque for AED 260,000. I subsequently paid AED 10,000 as Qafala to the court. In 2022. A cheque execution case was filed against me by the bank through Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution, and a travel ban was imposed.
I also filed an ASHKAL request in 2023, but have received no response from the court. Please note that the case is registered in Abu Dhabi.
I kindly seek your guidance on the following:
1. Is it possible to close/remove or cancel the case on the basis that the cheque was a security cheque?
2. What is the process to request removal of the travel ban, as my job requires travel to other GCC countries?

I have received a final judgment in my favor and the employer is offering to settle. What to do? 0
Dear Team,
I have received a final judgment in my favor for 5 months' salary, and I’ve already initiated execution through Al Adheed Center.
Now, my employer is requesting to settle the matter outside the court and promises to pay the full amount within 45 days. However, due to past false promises and non-payment, I am hesitant to trust him.
Could you please advise:
1. Is it safer to continue with the execution process?
2. If I choose to accept the settlement, how can I legally document the payment schedule to ensure enforcement if he defaults?
3. Can this settlement agreement be filed or endorsed through Al Adheed or the court to keep legal pressure?
Looking forward to your guidance.

The employers are delaying my experience letter intentionally. What can I do? 0
Dear Respected Lawyers,
I need advice.
I have worked in a company for 6 years. After 4 years of leaving that company, I need a detailed experience letter mentioning my position at that time, with duties.
As per the labor law, can I get it or not, or how?
I have to submit this letter to the Ministry of Labor in the UAE to prove that my duties are matching with my visa.
The employers are not responding to my emails or even calls; they are purposefully delaying it so that I cannot get my new job.
