1
Q: We moved into a villa in August 2017 and we paid one cash cheque payment to the owner who is local, as he gave us a copy of his Emirates ID and contract.
In December, our water was cut and was told by ADDC that the water has not been paid since August, which we all donated and paid for as we are about 7 tenants in the villa (Studio).
On the 10th of this month, a legal notice came from the court showing First Gulf Properties that the landlord should appear in the court. He didn't show up to which.
Yesterday, another same one was sent to him to appear today of which I doubt he did go because all his numbers are off. I need to know what's my right in this.
NB: This property is in Abu Dhabi and I have a copy of the landlord's Emirates ID. I even took a picture of him and my husband with the agent, and a copy of the cheque I gave to him the day we signed the contract.
Please advise me.
Thank you very much as I wait for your swift advice.

استعادة مبالغ الإيجار المدفوعة للمالك بسبب خرقه للعقد
1
س: مرحبًا سيدة خان
لدي حالة هنا، لقد استأجرت شقة وتم الاتفاق على دفع الإيجار عن طريق 6 أقساط. دفعت القسط الأول نقدًا، والباقي عن طريق شيكات بتاريخ مؤجل، بالإضافة إلى شيك ضمان.
الموقف المثار الآن هو أن المالك لم يوقع العقد بسبب بعض القضايا الخاصة بالمبنى في المحكمة، ولم أستلم الشقة بالمخالفة لما تم وعدي به.
هل يمكنني إلغاء الشيكات الخاصة بي مع احتمال اتخاذ أي إجراءات ضدي لأنني لم أتسلم الشقة كما هو متفق عليه، وهل يجب أن أقدم شكوى للشرطة؟ هل هناك أي إجراء أخر أحتاج إلى اتخاذه؟
شكرًا

هل يمكن لمالك العقار أن يخرق عقد الإيجار إذا رفضت زيادة الإيجار بما يجاوز مؤشر مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري؟

2
س: أخبرني مالك العقار أنه يريد زيادة الإيجار، فذكرت له أن مؤشر مؤسسة التنظيم العقاري لا يسمح له بذلك.
عاد قائلاً إنه يمكننا التوجه إلى لجنة إيجار للحصول على تقييم للإيجار، وإذا رفضنا، فسيفعل ما يلي:
(1) يحصل على شيك واحد بدلاً من الشيكات الثلاثة الأصلية.
(2) يجعلني أدفع رسوم المبرد على الرغم من أن العقد ينص على أنها مسؤولية المالك.
هل يمكنه فعل ذلك؟

We won the case with the RDC to evict the tenant. What happens after waiting the cooling period? 0
We won the case with the RDC that the tenant has to evict the property. We are told there is a cooling period before they say the date he has to leave.
How long is the cooling period he can appeal and then what happens next if he appeals and if he doesn't?
He was served the one-year notice and then refused to leave, hence the case we raised with RDC and won.
Thank you

عرض الجميعIs a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications? 0
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?

I am planning to change to another company and I am waiting for the offer. The visa from the current company is going to end in 2 months.

How can I pay the rent after selling the property if neither the old nor the new owner is clarifying this? 0
My current landlord has sold the building I live in, and my rent cheque was due to be presented on April 1st. I contacted the new landlord and the current landlord about my rent cheque.
My current landlord advised that they had withdrawn the cheque and presented it to the new landlord. However, the new landlord has ignored three requests for clarity on how to pay my rent, which is now overdue.
What are my options here?
I am attempting to pay the rent, but they are unresponsive.

عرض الجميعWhat can I do if I got a judgment in absentia for selling medicine without a license? 0
I got an order of 6 months imprisonment and deportation for a judgment in absentia by the Sharjah court for selling medicine without a license. I was not involved in the case directly; my friend used my car, and he had my bank card.
They made a confession that they were working for me and made a false claim that they had transferred money to me. As I am outside the country, I came to the UAE to solve my case.
I got detained at the airport, and the CID asked me some questions. I mentioned they didn’t transfer me a single Dihram, so he let me go, as the case was already open for appeal.
In the first instance court, they gave me the same verdict, then I appealed and attached documents like bank statements and my company details, which were not mentioned before.
They gave a date for the judgment, but it was not issued, and they gave the next date. I have been suffering a lot for the last 3 months here in the UAE and for 6 months back home.
So my question is that what will happen next?
Will the case be open for retrial, and will the CID be convinced by my logic?
Can they drop charges, or now the court decide only?
