Can a landlord evict a tenant based on an email, even if the official notice was served afterward?
Q: Hello,
Good day!
My landlord has sent me an eviction notice, which I received on 14 August 2024. The reasons are:
- For personal use or close relatives.
- For sale.
Now, my landlord is pressuring me to move out at the end of my contract on 30 April 2025. I am aware that the eviction notice must be served 12 months before the eviction date. In this case, the vacating date must be 14 August 2025.
For context: last year, three months before my tenancy renewal, my landlord sent me an email informing me that I had to move out on 30 April 2024. I objected, as there was no official 12-month eviction notice served through a notary public or registered mail.
Based on this, I renewed my contract at RDC for another year on the same terms.
Today, the landlord is telling me that because he informed me of his intention through email more than a year ago, he can now evict me at the end of this contract, on 30 April 2025, and not wait until the legal notice period ends on 14 August 2025.
What are my rights?

عرض الجميعI received a verdict on my personal name for my company unpaid rent without proper notification. What to do?
Hello, our business has unpaid rent.
1. The 30-day notice named my business but also wrongfully named my private name, while the rental contract is solely under the business name. I'm sure it was done in bad faith by the landlord to try to damage me personally.
2. After the 1st notice, I expected an RDC notification, and nothing came. I just logged in today on my app and saw that a verdict was pronounced on the 21st of August in this case, without me even getting an email, messages, or notification at the office to even appear at the 1st instance!
How can this be handled?
First of all, this rental situation should not involve my private name as the company is the sole tenant on this contract, and second, no notifications were ever sent to me, although at the office every day!
Here is my WhatsApp for whoever knows what to do to successfully dispute these tricks by this landlord.

My wife lost a divorce case for no harm and filed an appeal now. What can I do?
My wife filed a divorce case due to harm. It was rejected as there was a reconciliation between us, and she took back the police complaint. That's why the court rejected her case.
Now she filed an appeal with the same allegation without any new incident or any new evidence. There is no police report or medical report in the appeal court.
She made many wrong allegations, which I defended; however, tomorrow we have the judgment.
If her appeal is accepted and the previous judgment is reversed, what are my options?
Can I file an appeal in the appeal court, or do I have to go to a higher court, as the first judgment was in my favor?
And if her appeal got rejected, what are the options she will have?

عرض الجميعIs there a possibiliyt of a travel ban against if my father got a ban due to a legal dispute?
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 settled and paid my debt in Dubai Courts but the travel ban is still acitve after one week. How to lift it?
Hi
I have a question.
Last week, I settled my debt under the Amicable Settlement Center in Dubai Courts. The plaintiff acknowledged the receipt of the total payment from me.
However, it was also stipulated in the amicable settlement that the plaintiff needed to make sure the travel ban against me had to be cancelled immediately.
However, now one week later, he still hasn’t lifted the travel ban and isn’t responding to my call/message.
As I need to travel, I would like to know:
1. What can I do myself and how?
2. Is there any way I can make sure he honours his part of the settlement with urgency, as I need to travel next week?
Please advise.
Thank you

How to provide visa in a personal status case if there is execution process preventing it?
Hello,
I am seeking clarification on the execution process for a judgment issued by the Dubai Courts.
The case (No. [---/---]) is for the execution of a personal status judgment for non-Muslims (No. [---/---]). The judgment includes both a monetary award and a separate, non-monetary order (to provide a visa).
The execution for the monetary part is currently pending as the court's system is waiting for an exact final amount to be calculated by the accounts department.
I have been told that because the monetary amount is part of the same judgment, the non-monetary visa order cannot be pursued separately until the monetary calculation is complete.
Is this correct?
In the Dubai Courts, are the enforcement processes for monetary and non-monetary orders dependent on each other, or can they be pursued at the same time?

Can the hospital force me to pay more money for emergency claiming that treatment exceeds insurance limit?
We went to the hospital for an emergency and stayed for 3 days, then, before leaving, they asked us to pay 10% as per our insurance policy.
After 2 weeks, they informed us that the insurance policy covers only 2k, and we have to pay 3.2k, the balance I was not informed about before.
Then, they sent the invoice to debt collectors to warn us
What shall we do now?
I read that they have to tell us about the cost in advance.
Can this debt collector sue us?
