Consequences of a pending RDC case and guarantee cheque
Is the case filed at the Rental Dispute Center in Dubai considered a civil case?
Will you be banned from travelling if you have a case with the Rental Dispute Center?
What if the flat occupied has no contract but has used the guarantee cheque to bounce the cheque and file a criminal case?
Thank you for your time and reply
Dear Questioner,
With reference to your inquiry, kindly be informed that:
1. RDC Cases are rental cases, not civil ones.
2. The Landlord can file a criminal case with the said cheque, even if there's no tenancy contract.
3. If the amount is AED 10,000+, then the Landlord can file a Travel Ban separately, but filing the RDC case itself does not ban the tenant at all unless there's a judgment issued against him.
4. If the tenant can prove that the landlord has misused the cheque, then he can sue the landlord for the same.
Kind regards,
