1
Q: Hi,
I have a rental case in Sharjah, and I appealed for a 30% down payment and 6 installments. The Honorable Judge approved my request, and I have a copy of the order.
However, at the same time, the landlord approached the court and obtained another order to seize my bank accounts. My bank account is now frozen, and I can't receive my salary.
Is this proper procedure? Is it possible for two orders to be passed in a single case?
Can I request the landlord to withdraw the bank account freeze because I need to honor the 30% down payment judgment?
Kindly help with a solution.

How can I recover my money with a hold on my account due to a remitting bank request?




1
Q: Hello experts,
I have a hold on my bank account even though I have shared all the requested documents with the bank proving that the money belongs to me. However, they keep insisting that the remitting bank requested a recall.
Today, I received a notice of account closure from my bank. When I inquired about the amount on hold, I was informed that only the available balance will be issued via a manager's check.
The issue has been ongoing for almost 5 months now. Any advice on how to get my money back, please?

A bank has been restricting my account for 2 weeks now with no explanation: what can I do?




1
Q: Dear Lawyers,
It’s been two weeks since a bank restricted my account (Debit only) without any notification or warning. My account status shows as active though.
I have made countless calls, visited the branch 3 times, and raised a complaint (which was closed by the bank without resolving the issue) too but no response at all.
They give the same reply every time whether you call the helpline or visit the branch.
No one knows the reason why it’s restricted and every time it is the same reply: “Please wait, we have sent the reminder to the concerned department” from the last two weeks.
I have no cases, no liabilities to pay, and have evidence of all the transactions carried out on my account.
I just want to know what steps I can take to at least understand the reason behind the restrictions. It seems like the people working at that bank don’t even care.
It’s really depressing how they have been treating their customer for the last two weeks.

Dubai Court placed a hold on my account for another bank's case: what are my options?




1
Q: Hello,
I received an SMS and email from A bank stating that my bank account is on hold as per a Dubai Court order. I only have AED 2,000 left in my account, which is for my treatment and medication because I have breast cancer.
I lost my job last year and was unable to pay my personal loan installment with B bank. It was B bank that filed a case and a travel ban with Dubai Court.
But how can Dubai Court put a hold on my A bank account, even though the case is with another bank (B bank)?

How can I clear my loan and access funds if my account is frozen upon resignation?




1
Q: Hi,
I am currently working in the UAE and have a remaining loan with my bank. I am now out of the country and plan to resign.
My final gratuity is higher than my remaining loan. Since the bank will automatically freeze my account after receiving my final settlement, my question is:
How can I clear my remaining loan and retrieve the remaining money while I am already out of the UAE?
Thank you for your answer!

How can I cancel my visa and POA for financial matters if I have a travel ban for company bounced cheque? 0
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.

What can I do if my tenant is not providing rent cheques nor responding to renew the tenancy contract? 0
Hi,
I am a landlord and need advice on the following scenario.
- The contract with my tenant expired in Sep 2024. Upon requesting the renewal, the tenant mentioned that she is out of the country and will sign the renewal contract and provide the rent checks. In the meantime, she paid the first quarter of rent through a bank transfer.
- After 3 months, when the next quarter's payment was due, she deposited the next quarter's rent into my bank but did not sign the contract renewal despite my follow-up with her multiple times. At this time, she had returned to Dubai.
- Now the next quarter payment is due, however, the tenant is not responding to WhatsApp or answering calls. She is NOT paying rent or renewing the contract.
What action can I take since she is not answering my calls or messages?
She does not have a valid contract or Ejari, and her rent is delayed by 1 month. All WhatsApp messages are delivered, but she chooses not to respond.
