طاب مساءك، لقد اشتريت عقارًا في البرشاء (طابق أخير). وعلى الرغم من رسائل التذكير المتكررة، تخلف المطور العقاري عن إصلاح التسريبات (العديدة) في شقتي. لقد أخطرته بذلك أيضًا أثناء فترة المسؤولية عن العيوب. هل يمكنني إحالة النزاع الخاص بي إلى لجنة فض المنازعات الإيجارية في محاكم دبي، على الرغم من وجود بند تحكيم في اتفاقية البيع والشراء؟ مشورتك في هذا الشأن ستكون محل تقدير كبير. مع خالص تحياتي، ك.،

Hello, I submitted an offer and deposit through the trustee office, but the owner rejected it. What is the next step? They sent an email notification stating that if not renewed within the contract's end time, 500 AED will be deducted for each additional day of stay.

I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company. During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge. The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged. No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case. I need clarification on the following points: How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company? Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban? Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options? What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation? I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.

Does a cheque bounce affect my AECB score? Is there a policy for this?
