الإنهاء المبكر لعقد الإيجار بعد تقديم إشعار
س: سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة؛
سينتهي عقد الإيجار الخاص بي في 17/07/2020. ولكنني في 22/12/2019 أرسلت رسالة بريد إلكتروني إلى مالك العقار تُفيد بأنني أريد إنهاء العقد في 31/03/2020.
ينص العقد على أنه:
يجوز للمستأجر إنهاء العقد وإخلاء العقار بعد موافقة المالك الكتابية وبموافقة المستأجر على ما يلي:
(أ) إرسال إشعار كتابي مدته شهرين على الأقل إلى المؤجر قبل انتهاء المدة التي ينوي بعدها إخلاء العقار حيث إنه لا يمكن التراجع عن هذا الإشعار بمجرد تقديمه ما لم يقدم المؤجر موافقته الكتابية؛
(ب) دفع رسوم إدارة الأملاك واجبة السداد في الوقت الحالي لخرق العقد قبل انقضاء مدته، رهنًا بموافقة المؤجر. المؤجر غير مُلزم برد أي فرق في الإيجار إلى المستأجر في حالة الإنهاء المبكر للعقد.
يقول المالك أن فترة الإشعار هذه لا تنطبق إلا في حالة عدم التجديد، وليس الإنهاء المبكر، لذلك يجب علي إما دفع غرامة أو استكمال العقد حتى 16/07/2020.
هل هذا الأمر يُعد صحيحًا؟ هل هناك حد أقصى للغرامة بحيث تكون شهرين أو ثلاثة أشهر من الإيجار أم يمكنهم طلب المزيد؟

عرض الجميعRequest for legal guidance regarding employer harassment and premature asset retrieval demand (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)

Can I get a new job and employment visa while under a false embezzlement case and travel ban?
Hello,
My previous employer filed a case against me for embezzlement and imposed a travel ban. I know for myself it was all a lie, but since the case is already filed and the police investigation is still ongoing, I need to find a job.
However, first, I am worried that my new employer will come to know I have an active case. Second, I am worried that I cannot get an employment visa.
Can someone help me?

How long does it take for a bounced cheque case to be closed after a settlement?
Hello,
I had a cheque bounce case filed against me in Dubai, but I’ve now settled it with the complainant. The case has been with the Public Prosecution, and I’ve already submitted the notarized settlement documents.
It’s been 5 days since submission, and when I checked with the legal team, they couldn’t give me a clear timeline on how long it might take for the case to be withdrawn and for me to receive clearance.
Does anyone here have experience with this process? How long did it take for your case to be closed after submitting the notarized withdrawal request? Should I expect it to be done in a few days, or could it take longer?
Thanks in advance!

How can victims file a group case for fraud, bounced cheques, and misuse of credit cards?
Hello,
I would like to ask for legal advice regarding a fraud case in Abu Dhabi involving multiple victims. The suspect issued bounced cheques, received AED with a promise to exchange it into IDR but failed to deliver, misused other people’s credit cards, and operated an unlicensed travel/tour business.
Many clients paid for Umrah or vacation packages that never happened. The total loss is significant, and many victims have evidence such as WhatsApp chats, bank transfers, and bounced cheques.
We believe this involves a breach of trust and embezzlement. We would like to know if we can file a group case, what legal steps to take, and the cost of legal representation.
Thank you!

عرض الجميعHow can I refund the amount of online tickets in Dubai for fraudulant misrepresentation?
Last Friday, I was booking tickets for the Miracle Garden on some Dubai tickets website, and on the OTP page, it showed 225 to be paid on my phone. The otp was added automatically, and I couldn't read the message properly. It turns out 4,225 got deducted from my account.
I immediately called the bank, and they said they can't reverse the transaction, fill out the dispute resolution form, etc. Even tho the transaction was in process today, the transfer shows complete.
Is there a way to get it back?
I registered an online complaint with the Central Bank and cybersecurity. I really need the money with my rent coming up, please guide me.

What to do if someone impersonated an employee in the company I own and got mobile lines and phones?
Someone impersonated an employee in the company I have owned since 2012 and extracted 18 mobile lines in addition to several iPhones.
I was surprised that the company cut off our landline and mobile communications on the pretext that he was monitoring a debt of 167,000 dirhams.
This person was arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to deportation. However, the telecommunications company is still demanding from my company and pursuing me because of this debt that we are not to blame for.
How can this matter be resolved?

عرض الجميعHow to waive or reduce the penalty for my expired company license and cancel it?
Dear Lawyer
I hope this message finds you well.
I set up a business license in a free zone in 2023. Unfortunately, the license expired in September 2024, and due to being occupied with other matters, I was not aware of the penalties associated with the expiration.
I recently attempted to cancel the license but was informed that a significant penalty has accrued. When I inquired about cancelling my visa first, I was told that it’s not possible to proceed without addressing the license issue.
Could you please advise if there is any legal way to waive or reduce this penalty?
I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this situation with minimal cost.
