I was evicted after a rental dispute case and handed the keys over. How to make the landlord update the system?

The fact that your landlord has physically taken the keys but hasn't updated the system with the handover is a significant problem.

This directly affects the calculation of any outstanding rental payments. It's crucial to communicate with the RDC and explain the situation.

Provide them with evidence of the key handover, including any police reports or witness statements.

Regarding your travel ban, it's possible to submit a certain request to the court in order to get approval for your visa status, called a filing exception.

We will let you know the procedures in detail. Kindly share your WhatsApp number to discuss further.

Dear questioner

File a formal complaint with the Rental Dispute Center (RDC) detailing the situation.

Clearly state that the keys were handed over in the presence of the police and that the landlord is refusing to acknowledge this on the Takhlees system.

Provide copies of any supporting documentation. If you need further assistance, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Dear Inquirer,

In your case, if the landlord has already taken possession of the keys in the presence of the police but has not updated the status on the Takhlees system, you may still be accruing rent liabilities.

This can impact your financial obligations and the travel ban placed on you.

You should file an official request with the Rental Dispute Center (RDC) to confirm the handover date and adjust your dues accordingly.

Additionally, if the travel ban is affecting your visa status, legal intervention may be required to resolve the dispute efficiently.

Dear Client,

To address your rental dispute and travel ban situation, here is professional advice:

Steps to Resolve the Issue

1. File a Complaint with the Rental Dispute Center (RDC):

Visit the RDC in Deira or use their online portal to formally complain about the landlord's failure to update the status of your eviction.

Provide evidence of key handover and police involvement. This will help clarify your liability and stop further rent accumulation.

2. Challenge the Travel Ban:

The travel ban is typically imposed for unresolved financial disputes. You can request that the RDC lift the ban by proving you no longer occupy the premises and are actively working to resolve the payment issue.

3. Negotiate Payment Terms:

Approach your landlord or their legal representative to negotiate a final settlement for outstanding rent. Ensure that any agreement is documented and signed.

4. Seek Legal Assistance:

Consult a lawyer experienced in the UAE rental disputes to guide you through the process and advocate for lifting the travel ban while protecting your rights.

Important Notes

- Ensure all communications are documented, including emails or written agreements.

- Provide proof of eviction and key handover during RDC proceedings.

- Act promptly, as delays may worsen financial liabilities and visa complications.

Taking these steps will help resolve your dispute efficiently while addressing the travel ban affecting your visa status.
