What can I do if the landlord rejected the offer & deposit and sent me an eviction notice?
Q: 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 got involved in a bar fight and wrongfully accused of assault and other charges. What to do?
I have a misdemeanor case under investigation. What can I do and what can I expect?
I got involved in a bar fight when my friend was punched in the face by the complainant. When I was about to approach him to ask him about it, he shoved me in the head.
I lost balance and I grabbed him, and we both fell down, then my friend and his colleagues started beating him.
CID called me for an interview, telling me that the guy complained about his watch, which I didn't steal. Then he also complained about the harassment. Which I didn't do as well.
Now, the report is saying that I have charges of indecent assault, public intoxication, causing a riot, and public cursing.
Please help me decide what to do!
I'm considering hiring a criminal lawyer to help me with this.

My father left the UAE and left his car with his cousin to continue loan payments. How to check his status?
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!

I I left the UAE with some debts and I paid later while in the UK. How to check my status before visiting Dubai?
I had some debts when I left the UAE, which I paid later while in the UK. This was in 2017 when I left the UAE.
I want to check if there's a travel ban or any blacklist kind of status for me, as I want to travel to Dubai soon.
I have lost the Emirates ID card, and I have a new passport number as I had to renew the passport.
All I have is a scanned copy of my old passport and the visa page.
What's the procedure and cost for finding this?

عرض الجميعWhat to do if you received judgment in absentia of fine and jail in a case after obtaining Tanazul?
What does “Dispositioned” mean in a UAE - Abu Dhabi case?
We have a Tanazul, but the case status is showing Judgment Done, with a 15,000 AED fine and 6 months' prison reserved. Does this mean he will go to prison?
We missed one hearing on 28/08/2025. After that, we thought we had Tanazul, so we went to collect the passport, as I am the surety for my father. However, at the police station, they stopped him, saying he had a Tameem.
Please help and advise what will happen. We have Tanazul, but the judgment is already done, and no appeal has been filed yet.

I have a fine in a criminal case judgment that I cannot pay at once. How to apply for an installment plan?
Hi to all the respected lawyers here.
I have a criminal case, and I fought for a long time to remove the 1st and 2nd judgments, which were deportation and jail time. In my final judgement, my penalty is AED 10,000.
Last year, during amnesty, since I couldn't pay the 10,000 AED (I am a single mother with a 2-year-old baby), I decided to surrender at the police station. Because I have a court fine, they refused to take me and sent me to the Sharjah police.
When I went there, I told the officer in charge that I couldn't pay and that I wanted to serve jail time and be released once I completed the required days. The officer did not accept me and sent me to apply for an instalment plan.
However, my instalment application was rejected; they said instalment payments are not being accepted at the moment and that the order came from the Abu Dhabi court.
Now I am really hopeless and feel I cannot live here anymore.

My bank accounts were blocked in the execution of cheque criminal cases. How to unblock them?
I urgently need legal assistance in Dubai.
I'm facing multiple execution cases, a criminal complaint for a bounced cheque, and several personal debts under agreements. The total amount is around AED 500,000.
Due to execution orders, my UAE bank accounts are blocked, some with negative balances from cheque enforcement, making it impossible to use them for settlements.
I do have international accounts and can withdraw up to AED 35,000 per day, of which I am ready to allocate AED 30,000 daily for settlements and legal fees.
I am looking for a licensed lawyer or firm that can represent me in all these cases, negotiate with creditors, assist in making payments (either via courts, banks, or through your office), and provide a clear roadmap to resolve everything.
I also need guidance on how long banks will take to unblock accounts and clear negative balances after settlement.
If I pay the bank directly, will the accounts be immediately restored and cases closed? Please share your fee estimate.

Can we file a case against a customer who launched a campaign online against our business reputation?
Hello,
A customer based in Dubai booked a public experience online on the website of a reputable business based in Dubai.
The customer came to the business location, the team was ready to provide the experience as per her booking.
The customer started to shout loudly, claiming that she was expecting a private experience. She refused to do the experience and left. Then she started calling the Management claiming a refund.
The Management explained that as per the T&Cs, experiences booked online are public. The Management offered as a goodwill gesture to refund the customer after deducting the cost of preparations that were paid by the business to set up the experience. The customer refused.
The customer used her Instagram account and as an influencer + Google review to launch a campaign against the business reputation, inciting her audience/people not to use the business services. She used signs of alert/warnings.
Is there a law that punishes such public incitement in the UAE?

Hello,
If acquitted by the appeal court, is the travel ban and wanted status automatically removed? I mean, an innocent verdict was issued by the first instance court, then it was appealed, and after that, the travel ban was there.
Now, the appeal court has issued an acquittal from all charges; so is the travel ban still there, or is it automatically removed after the judgment is issued?

عرض الجميعI was misled during the purchase of my off-plan apartment in Dubai. Can I claim compensation?
I believe I was misled during the purchase of my off-plan apartment in Dubai.
The sales manager strongly emphasized that the unit had a lagoon view and Burj Khalifa from the side, which was a key factor in my decision.
This lagoon view was even shown on their internal sales system, but it was never written into the official Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA).
After the handover, I discovered the apartment has no such view. I have supporting evidence, including WhatsApp messages, voice notes, and brochures that clearly mention the lagoon view.
This misrepresentation caused me financial loss, since when I tried to resell, the value was much lower without the promised view.
My questions are: based on these facts, do I have a strong legal case for misrepresentation?
Can I realistically claim compensation or a partial refund?
What steps and documents are required to evaluate the case properly?
Also, would like to know an estimate of the cost and expected time for such proceedings.

Can I file a complaint against my company for discrimination between employees?
I am working in the UAE and facing issues of workplace favoritism and possible discrimination.
Despite being a consistent top performer with many years of experience, I was rejected for a promotion that was instead given to someone with less experience and weaker performance.
When I asked for feedback, I was given contradictory and false reasons, including being told that HR rejected me based on “how I sat in the interview,” even though it was an audio-only call.
I was also told that promotions are not based on performance but on whether I had the “manager’s blessings.”
In addition, I have observed:
- Promotions are repeatedly going to people from the same community or close to managers.
- Most of the management team belongs to one community.
- Shift schedules are being changed after release to favor certain individuals.
This has created a toxic environment with no fair career growth opportunities.
My question is, under UAE labor law, do I have grounds to challenge this type of favoritism?

My brother was arrested in a car for possession of only 2g of drugs. What is the maximum penalty he could face?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I need help, please!
My brother was arrested in a car for possession of only 2g of drugs. The police charged him with possession and usage in Umm Al-Quwain.
The transaction amount was only 400. But my brother did not have any possessions; he had only borrowed money.
Another charge is that he helped a friend use drugs, but he did not help anyone. That friend is older than my brother.
May I know if this is also considered an offence, and what is the maximum penalty he could face?
He is also a first-time offender in a drug case.

Hello,
I have been working at a company in DMCC for nearly 5 years. I work in sales with varying annual results, ranging from overachieving to underachieving in a difficult market.

Now, my manager has suddenly decided to terminate me without any warning because of performance issues. They are offering to pay the minimum end-of-service gratuity plus 3 months’ basic salary and unpaid leave days.

I have a fine in a criminal case judgment that I cannot pay at once. How to apply for an installment plan?
Hi to all the respected lawyers here.
I have a criminal case, and I fought for a long time to remove the 1st and 2nd judgments, which were deportation and jail time. In my final judgement, my penalty is AED 10,000.
Last year, during amnesty, since I couldn't pay the 10,000 AED (I am a single mother with a 2-year-old baby), I decided to surrender at the police station. Because I have a court fine, they refused to take me and sent me to the Sharjah police.
When I went there, I told the officer in charge that I couldn't pay and that I wanted to serve jail time and be released once I completed the required days. The officer did not accept me and sent me to apply for an instalment plan.
However, my instalment application was rejected; they said instalment payments are not being accepted at the moment and that the order came from the Abu Dhabi court.
Now I am really hopeless and feel I cannot live here anymore.

I I left the UAE with some debts and I paid later while in the UK. How to check my status before visiting Dubai?
I had some debts when I left the UAE, which I paid later while in the UK. This was in 2017 when I left the UAE.
I want to check if there's a travel ban or any blacklist kind of status for me, as I want to travel to Dubai soon.
I have lost the Emirates ID card, and I have a new passport number as I had to renew the passport.
All I have is a scanned copy of my old passport and the visa page.
What's the procedure and cost for finding this?

My brother was arrested in a car for possession of only 2g of drugs. What is the maximum penalty he could face?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I need help, please!
My brother was arrested in a car for possession of only 2g of drugs. The police charged him with possession and usage in Umm Al-Quwain.
The transaction amount was only 400. But my brother did not have any possessions; he had only borrowed money.
Another charge is that he helped a friend use drugs, but he did not help anyone. That friend is older than my brother.
May I know if this is also considered an offence, and what is the maximum penalty he could face?
He is also a first-time offender in a drug case.

How can I settle a loan and credit cards in the UAE to avoid travel ban in GCC countries?
I had a loan & credit cards in the UAE, and during my vacation, I lost my job. I still paid the installments, but I couldn’t find a job for one year.
I left and am now getting a job in Bahrain. I want to clear my loans in the UAE because it’s been two years.
Can I easily travel to Bahrain, or is it a problem, as it is a GCC country?
And how can I ask the bank to waive the interest amount?
I really need to clear off the debt with banks at the earliest now.
