Dear All, I own an apartment, and a year ago, I sent a legal notice for renovation to the tenant. However, the tenant is refusing to leave.

How can I obtain it, and where? Thank you all!

Dear Sir/Madam, My tenant is not ready to move out on the last day of the 12-month notarized eviction notice. I need the place for myself to move in as my lease ends next week. What should I do?

My cousin who lives in Dubai took around AED 280000 from me on December 2023 for business and he told me that within one month he would return the money back with profits. Now it's been almost a year he has not returned my money back. I have no written contract. The only proof I have is WhatsApp chats, videos, and voice messages of him that he received money from me and that he would return it back within one month. In August 2023 I told him that if you don't return my money, then I would hire a lawyer and do a case. Then his father returned almost 20% of the amount back in August 2023 and told me the remaining amount I would receive from them by the end of November or December 2023. But now they are not giving me the money and telling me to go to the police or hire a lawyer, file a case do whatever I want to do. Kindly please advise me if hiring a lawyer in Dubai will be helpful or not. Will I be able to recover my money in Dubai in a legal way in such a case?

مرحباً سيدي/سيدتي، أحتاج إلى الحصول على شهادة حسن سيرة ذاتية. غادرت دبي عام ٢٠١٨، وأُبلغت بضرورة إنهاء قضية شرطة في مركز شرطة نايف للحصول على رصيد بنكي (أقل من ١٠,٠٠٠ درهم إماراتي) قبل التقدم بطلب الحصول على شهادة حسن سيرة ذاتية. بما أنني خارج الإمارات، كيف يمكنني الحصول على تمثيل قانوني وإنجاز قضيتي للحصول على شهادة حسن سيرة ذاتية؟ شكراً!

طاب يومك، علي نزاعات إيجارية وحصلت على خطة تسوية منذ 8 أشهر. لكنني لم أدفع التسوية لأنه في لحظة التقدم بطلب للحصول على خطة التسوية، كان لدي عرض عمل وخسرته بسبب منع السفر ولم أتمكن من معالجة التأشيرة. علي قضية شخصية أخرى لدى الشرطة حيث قمت بالفعل بدفع مبلغ 18000 وكانت المطالبة 40000 درهم. والآن بعد أن لم التوقف عن الدفع، رفع المدعي القضية مرة أخرى. لدي الآن خطاب عرض آخر وأريد الحصول على شهادة مخالصة خلال 48 ساعة، وإلا فقد أفقد هذه الوظيفة أيضًا. برجاء تقديم النصيحة

اشتريت سيارة جديدة من تاجر سيارات [---] وبعد 5 دقائق من استخدام السيارة، ظهر تنبيه. وبعد أقل من 24 ساعة أبلغت البائعين بالمشكلة. بعد جدال معهم حول هذا الموضوع، قمت أخيرًا بإحضار السيارة إلى الصيانة في شركتهم وأكدوا أن الجزء يحتاج إلى تغيير كامل. أخبرتهم أنني لا أستطيع قبول سيارة معيبة والمطالبة باسترداد الأموال أو بمركبة أخرى. حتى الآن لم يكونوا على قدر من التعاون.

سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة، هناك قضية ضدي في محكمة تجارية ذات اختصاص كامل. آسف إذا كان هناك خطأ في هذا. لم أشارك في القضية، وبناءً على نصيحة محاميي في المملكة المتحدة، لم يتم تمثيلي هناك في دبي. عند التحقق من البوابة، تقول إنه تم التوصل إلى حكم بالأمس، لكن لا يمكنني رؤية المزيد من التفاصيل. لذلك أسئلتي هي: 1) هل تصدر الأحكام خلف أبواب مغلقة أم أمام المحامين؟ (المدعون لديهم محامون) 2) كم من الوقت يستغرق عادة حتى يصبح الحكم علنيًا ولكي أرى نتيجة القضية؟ الشيء الوحيد الذي يُقال على الإنترنت هو كلمة "تم الحكم".

مرحبًا، لقد تم ترحيلي من الإمارات بسبب عدم اللياقة الطبية، ولكن عندما وصلت إلى بلدي، أجريت عدة فحوصات طبية ولكن كل شيء على ما يرام؛ فيروس نقص المناعة البشرية سلبي، لا يوجد التهاب الكبد B، الخ. لا أعلم هل كان هناك خطأ أو سوء حظ بالنسبة لي. أتساءل عما إذا كان بإمكانهم السماح لي بالعودة إلى دبي.

Respected Advisors, I have been involved in a few criminal cases since 2017, but all of them were cleared by this year. I have obtained release letters for all the cases from the public prosecution office through an online portal. Recently, I also received my residence visa. After the visa process was completed, I applied for a PCC online. However, the request was rejected. I contacted the 901 office, and they advised me to visit the CID. I arranged for a power of attorney to be granted along with all the necessary documents to update the system. Twice I was told to come in person, but I am hesitant to do so because of my previous negative experience. Could someone please advise me whether I must go in person or if the person holding the power of attorney can handle the process? Thank you!

Hi, I have leased out a shop in Dubai, but due to huge financial losses and my husband's job loss, I can't afford to pay the rent. Meanwhile, my landlord has filed a case for eviction and payment of rent. Right now, my condition is getting better as my husband has got a job and is ready to pay the rent in installments. Can I pay in installments and hold the shop even if the judgment goes against me?
