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.

Hello, My partner voluntarily withdrew from our company which we established in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We established this company on July 1, 2024. Until now, there is no income or revenue. What is the legality?

Hello, I'm in Canada, and I filed for divorce. My husband, who owns a real estate company in Abu Dhabi, kidnapped our children and took them to the UAE to avoid the divorce and force me back to him. My children are twin boys, 8 years old, and a 10-year-old girl. What can I do? I want to follow them and take my children back, but he says his local Emirati connections will file criminal cases against me and have me jailed if I go there. What can I do remotely? Does the UAE return kidnapped children to their mother? In the UAE, a guardian cannot legally kidnap their own child; what does this mean for my case? If I report him, what happens to my children? Will they be held until I arrive to take them?

Hello, My landlord vacated the property with 12 months' notice, stating he would live there himself. However, he started renting the property through the holiday homes system. Is a permit issued by the DTC for a holiday home valid proof to prove that he is renting and to claim compensation?

On Jan 2, 2025, one of my close friends did a privacy breach and recorded me and my van in some specific place. On Feb 5, when I called and asked him why he did this to me, he went and gave a complaint that I scolded him and threatened him. The same case was later closed by the PP when we negotiated outside the station and apologized. At this juncture, can I file a privacy breach case against him, which happened on Jan 2, 2025, and on Feb 5 I scolded him only for the privacy breach that happened on Jan 2?

أنا أعيش في دبي مارينا، وادعى المالك أنه وفقًا للوائح الجديدة لدائرة الأراضي والأملاك في دبي، يجب الآن دفع فاتورة التكييف من قبل الشخص الذي يشغل الشقة. على الرغم من أن عقدي ينص على أن المالك يجب أن يدفع فاتورة التكييف، إلا أنه يريد تنفيذ هذا الأمر في منتصف العقد. أدرك أنه سيتم إعادة التفاوض على الشروط عند التجديد، ولكن على أي أساس يمكنهم تنفيذ التغيير في منتصف العقد؟ هل لائحة دائرة الأراضي والأملاك الجديدة تسود عقد الإيجار؟ علاوة على ذلك، أتلقى إشعارًا بفصل الخدمة من شركة التكييف بسبب عدم السداد. ماذا يمكنني أن أفعل إذا حدث هذا؟ يرجى تقديم النصيحة.

هل يمكنني السفر مع وجود فاتورة اتصالات غير مدفوعة في الإمارات بعد إلغاء تأشيرتي؟

مرحبًا، أنا مالك جديد لعقار مؤجَّر مسبقًا. هل يجب عليّ توقيع عقد إيجار جديد مع المستأجر للفترة المتبقية؟ ومن سيدفع تكلفة إيجاري؟

مرحبًا، طاب مساؤكم! صديقتي عاملة نظافة في شركة تنظيف وتريد الآن الاستقالة وفق إخطار مدته 30 يومًا. لم تكمل العقد المحدد بعامين؛ إذ عملت 16 شهرًا فقط. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، لم تأخذ أي إجازة. الأمر المحزن أنها عندما وقعت على خطاب عرض العمل، لم تحصل على نسخة منه وإنما وقّعت عليه فحسب. سأكون ممتنًا جدًا إذا أفدتموني بشأن ما إذا كان عليها دفع أموال أو ما إذا كان لمديرها الحق في رفض الاستقالة إذا كانت فترة الإخطار المذكورة في خطاب عرض العمل أكثر من شهر. لم يقدم لها مديرها أي نوع من الإثباتات التي يمكنها استخدامها في المستقبل إذا حدث أي شيء.

مرحبًا، أنا أمثل شركة تكنولوجيا عبر المتجر الإلكتروني ومسجلة في منطقة حرة في دولة الإمارات. استفسر عن قانون دولة الإمارات فيما يتعلق بملكية الكود في حالة عدم وجود بند يشير إلى ذلك في الاتفاقية. حيث نقوم بتطوير أحد منتجاتنا (تطبيق إلكتروني) بواسطة إحدى الوكالات في دولة الإمارات. لدينا اتفاقيات سارية، ولكن لا يوجد بند بخصوص ملكية الكود. في الحالة المذكورة أعلاه، سمعت أن ملكية الكود إما تعود إلى المؤسس أو الوكالة التي وظفت المؤسس. هل هذا صحيح؟ ستكون مساعدتك محل تقدير كبير.
