Hello, I'm about to rent a studio in [----]. When the real estate agent sent the contract and the addendum, they mentioned an Administrative Fee of AED 1,500+VAT for each renewal.

Good day, I am writing to respectfully seek your assistance regarding the lifting of my travel ban. I have been following up with the bank for over two months and, as instructed, filed a court petition, which is still pending. As per Clause 4 of the signed settlement agreement, the travel ban should be lifted after six consecutive salary transfers and payments, along with submission of an employment letter or salary certificate. I provided the bank with my employment letter and an official company email confirming the salary transfer issue due to a company labor dispute. Despite this, and after making consistent EMI payments for two years, I am now being asked for documents not included in the agreement, such as a new labor contract, salary transfer letter, and six-month bank statements. I have now raised this matter with the Head of Collections and copied the CEO, and I kindly request your urgent assistance in resolving this issue as per the terms of the signed agreement.

I fought with my roommate. She started the fight by banging my head against the wall and strangling my neck. I was unable to breathe and remove her hands, so in order to save myself, I bit her hand. I was new in the UAE and didn’t know how to call the police. But she, being well aware of this, called the police, and the police are accusing me that you hit her, saying she had wounds. But my right eye is under treatment, and I can’t see properly from that eye. My face has all wounds.
