I did an offer and deposit case on 18 February 2025 to renew the Ejari at the same rate of AED 80,000 with 4 cheques. Expiry date of previous Ejari was 24 February 2025. I got Ejari from RDC, and everything was smooth for the year 25/26. However, the bank had our cheque returned due to an irregular signature. As the landlord, which is a property management company, has a bully lawyer, he didn't want to accept cash nor a bank transfer, or another cheque. So I had to do another offer and deposit case on top of the one I did on 18th February. The lawyer of the landlord has sent me an eviction notice stating it is not legally permissible for me to link the new offer and deposit to pay the 20,000 AED installment from 25 August 2025 to 24 November 2025. However, the RDC judge had approved my offer and deposit and sent me a pay order, which I have paid. I want to know whether this eviction will stand, as RDC will only give this cash to the landlord, or if they need NOC from the landlord to return the money to me. Kindly help

I am currently subject to a travel ban because of a personal loan. I wish to settle this matter and lift the travel ban. Would it be more advantageous to make the payment in court or directly to the bank?

I had a criminal case registered against me due to a telegram scam in Dubai. But I didn't know about it. It's been more than 6 months, and now I know about the case against me again. Can I appeal it in court, or will the judgment be enforced now?

​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?

Hello. My company asked me to sign a non-compete agreement written on their company letterhead, but now I want to leave the company and start my own company in the same business. Can I do that? Please note that the non-compete clause is not in my MOHRE contract.

Hello, In short, I have an issue with [-----] Properties as an owner in [-----]. They want to impose on me fines and huge additional charges (over 40,000 AED) for modifications that were executed before I purchased the property, and after they have provided a NOC. They have also been absent for over 2 months and have not replied to my questions. I would like to know what my options are, what the risks are if I ignore their demand, and any other relevant information on the topic. Thank you in advance!

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 friend used my credit card for his bill payments and purchases for his business of around AED 70k. He used my two credit cards, and now he is not repaying them. I tried to call and message him, but no reply. How can I recover this money?

Dear Sir/Ma'am, I am planning to bring my father to Dubai for a visit. He left Dubai in 2009 due to serious medical reasons and left his car with his cousin, with an outstanding bank installment for the car, which was around AED 10,000. We subsequently cancelled his visa. It has been over 10 years, and I am concerned about potential fines or travel bans, as we are unsure if the remaining car payments were completed by his cousin. We are not on speaking terms with his cousin, so I cannot confirm this. I found that checking fines or travel bans usually requires an Emirates ID, but my father left Dubai before Emirates IDs were introduced and only has his passport. The company he worked for also no longer exists. Could you please advise if there is another way to check for fines? Kind regards!

Dear Team, I seek your assistance regarding a financial matter. I have an outstanding credit liability in Saudi Arabia amounting to approximately 80,000 SAR. I left the KSA in early 2023, and I now plan to travel to the UAE for a week. Could you please advise whether a travel ban in Saudi Arabia extends to other GCC countries, and if there is any potential risk of arrest or imprisonment upon entering the UAE under these circumstances?
