A tenant offers to pay rent after 30-day notice: What are my options?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
Rental dispute with my tenant. Timeline of events:
1. Cheque due date: June 8, 2023.
2. Gave him 25 days as requested.
3. Raised a formal police complaint for a bounced cheque (as the account was closed/fraud) on July 3, 2023.
4. Again asked him to pay up or vacate; he asked for more time and I gave him more time.
5. Sent him a formal 30-day legal notice to pay and vacate the property on August 2, 2023.
6. On August 24, he called me to offer a partial payment; I said he had to pay in full by the due date.
7. On August 25, I received the RDC notice of offer and deposit, in which he stated the following: "The applicant requests your kind approval to accept an offer and deposit a cash amount of AED XXX in exchange for the rental value."
If I accept the notice, how much time will he be given by the court to pay the amount?
If I reject the offer, what will be the implications?
Can I still open a case against him to vacate the unit when the 30-day legal notice expires on September 1?

Respected Law Team Members, I am writing to seek genuine legal advice and guidance for our friend regarding an ongoing issue with her employer.
On 23rd May 2025, she received a termination notice via WhatsApp from her sponsor, which clearly states that she is required to complete her handover by 20th June 2025.
Since receiving the notice, however, her sponsor has been repeatedly contacting her via WhatsApp and phone calls, pressuring her to immediately return the company laptop and office cabinet keys, despite the agreed-upon handover date.
In addition, she has been verbally accusing my friend and making threatening remarks, creating a hostile environment, and causing her emotional distress.
To clarify her legal position, she contacted MOHRE, who advised her to reshare the termination notice to the lady employer about the handover date (20th June 2025) as she outlined in the (Cont-1)

I have two kids. Their father is in critical care and is not able to communicate, and we have been divorced for more than seven years.
The other side of the family is not communicating with the kids about the father's whereabouts for them to visit him, and they have not been in touch with the kids for the past two weeks due to family issues that took place in court regarding guardianship of the kids.
How can I find a way for our kids to know what is going on with their father and his condition without reaching out to them, to avoid any further escalation?
My daughter has tried to call them, but there was no response.
