Q: I have defaulted on my rent cheques twice with my landlord in Dubai, each for AED 16,250 (totaling AED 32,500).
I have already paid AED 6,000, leaving an outstanding balance of AED 26,500.
However, including penalties and fines, the total amount now stands at approximately AED 43,000.
I have a hearing scheduled with the Land Department on the 13th of May.
My questions are:
How can I negotiate with my landlord?
Is there a possibility of a travel ban at this stage?

I received a legal notice to pay rent and cleared the amount. Can the landlord ask me to pat late fees penalty?




0
Q: I received a legal notice to pay rent.
I have already cleared the amount specified in the legal notice, but my landlord is now saying that I also need to clear further late fees as per our contract within the legal notice time period.
Is that valid if it is not stated in the notice?

The landlord got a municipality order against me to pay pending rent and vacate. What to do?



0
Q: The rent is 3300 and he said the cheque return is 1050, and the open case file is 1000 while the closed case file is 2100.
I told him to allow me to split the payment; first I would pay the rent and pay the legal fees with one cheque, but he said no that I needed to pay the full amount at once.
So I told him I don’t have that amount now that is my fate.
He told me to wait for the next hearing and that I would receive another notification from the municipality office after a month that after then they would tell me what to do.
I believed him and I was waiting for the second hearing until I received another letter yesterday from the municipality giving me seven days to pay up and vacate the flat.
Please, what can I do?

العواقب المترتبة على فقدان العمل والتخلف عن الالتزامات المالية 26
إن إدارة الشؤون المالية للفرد أمر بالغ الأهمية، ويجب الأخذ في الاعتبار جميع الأحداث أثناء التقيد بالتزام مالي. سواء كان فقدان الوظيفة هو الذي أدى إلى الإخفاق المالي أو العكس، فيجب أن يكون المرء على دراية بالمسؤولية الشخصية التي لن تتلاشى من خلال دفع الغرامات في قضايا الشيكات المرتجعة. هناك نوعان رئيسيان من المسؤوليات، وهما المسؤولية الجنائية والمسؤولية المدنية. لكل منها أهميته الخاصة، وبالتالي، يجب التعامل مع كلا النوعين تبعًا لذلك.

عرض الجميعHow to get legal help with drafting a memo for a family case in cassation? 0
I need help drafting a cassation memo for submission to the Abu Dhabi Court in a family case. I already have all the documents.
Since there's no hearing at this stage, I don’t need full legal representation—just memo drafting. My ex-wife is claiming 2024–25 school fees, though child support is already granted.
First instance rejected her claim, but the appeal overturned it and ordered me to pay 16,000 AED.
I want to file a cassation due to legal errors and flawed reasoning in the appeal judgment. My budget is limited.

تقدمت لاستخراج شهادة بحث الحالة فظهرت قضية قديمة في سجلاتي. كيف يمكنني إزالتها؟ 0
مرحبًا، السلام عليكم،
لقد تقدمت للالتحاق بـالقوات المسلحة الإماراتية، وعند استخراج شهادة بحث الحالة الجنائية/شهادة حسن السيرة والسلوك باسم جهة الطلب (وزارة الدفاع)، ظهرت قضية قديمة لي.
القضية هي جنحة بسيطة عندما كنت حدثًا، وتم إيداعي بموجبها في دار الملاحظة. استخرجت صورة الحكم الخاصة بها، والصادرة بتاريخ 2012، ونحن الآن في 2025.
فبعد مرور أكثر من 10 سنوات، لا تزال القضية موجودة في سجلي الجنائي، رغم صدور كفّ البحث، وكوني كنت حدثًا، ومر على الواقعة أكثر من 5 أعوام.
كنت أتساءل:
هل من الممكن محوها بأي طريقة، واستخراج شهادة نظيفة؟
عندما ذهبت إلى مركز التسهيل لتقديم طلب شطب، أخبروني أن الخيار الوحيد المتاح هو تقديم طلب رد اعتبار.
الحكم الصادر هو:
بالنسبة للقضيتين رقم [-----] جزائي الأسرة، بمعاقبة المتهم بالإيداع في دور التربية والإصلاح.
أخبرني الضابط المسؤول عن شهادات حسن السيرة والسلوك أنه لا يمكنه استخراج شهادة من أجل طلب الشطب لمحكمة بني ياس، ونصحني أن أبحث عن عمل خاص وأنسى موضوع العسكرية.
كيف يمكنني استخراج شهادة للمحكمة؟

Can I go without the bailiff to receive the keys of my house from the tenant based on a court judgment? 0
Hi,
My tenant was not paying rent, so I filed a case and won it. The court has given a bailiff eviction date of 7th July. The tenant also has outstanding rent plus court fees to pay.
The tenant called me and proposed an out-of-court settlement. She is offering to hand over the keys today, along with her furniture, to compensate for the outstanding rent.
I don't trust the tenant as she has lied many times. She's asking me to come visit the apartment to look at the furniture and take the keys.
1. Please advise if it's ok to visit the apartment and take the keys and furniture without involving the bailiff. Do I need to report the furniture adjustment against the rent due to the court?
2. Can she create any other problem on my physical visit, although I have WhatsApp messages of her request?
3. Can she request payment installments from the court if I don't agree to take her furniture?
4. Can I write down the settlement with her on a plain piece of paper with her signature?

عرض الجميعI got limited supervised visits for my kids befor divorce and I want increased visitation. What to do? 0
Last year, I filed an urgent petition for child visitation in Abu Dhabi Court before the divorce, when my wife left home.
The divorce was then finalized 6 months later & for the past 15 months, I’ve had limited supervised visits of 6 hours every Saturday.
I'm now seeking increased visitation (may be 2-3 days), including overnights, given my consistent payment of child alimony and the strong emotional bond I share with my child.
As per Federal Law No. 41 of 2024, Article 121, Clause 1, the other parent may request overnight visitation, and if there's no mutual agreement, the court will decide based on the child's best interests.
I need to know whether I should file a petition, order a case, or an FIC case to request expanded visitation rights. (I understand that both types of cases go through the FG procedure).

My company terminated me for misappropriative conduct after filing a case for nonpayment of salary. What to do? 0
Good afternoon,
My company terminated my contract today, 26 June, alleging misappropriative conduct, and this needs to be appealed because I didn't commit a fault.
However, since June 2024, the company has not paid me 10 months' salary (I already filed a case in MOHRE the last 19 June).
My questions are:
1. Can I claim the WPP insurance, even with the letter of termination? I understood that this insurance is for unpaid wages.
2. ILOE, I do not know if I can claim ILOE with this letter, because the allegation will take time to get a new termination letter, but I need some income to support me and my family.
Thank you for your answers.

Can we file a case against a customer who launched a campaign online against our business reputation? 0
Hello,
A customer based in Dubai booked a public experience online on the website of a reputable business based in Dubai.
The customer came to the business location, the team was ready to provide the experience as per her booking.
The customer started to shout loudly, claiming that she was expecting a private experience. She refused to do the experience and left. Then she started calling the Management claiming a refund.
The Management explained that as per the T&Cs, experiences booked online are public. The Management offered as a goodwill gesture to refund the customer after deducting the cost of preparations that were paid by the business to set up the experience. The customer refused.
The customer used her Instagram account and as an influencer + Google review to launch a campaign against the business reputation, inciting her audience/people not to use the business services. She used signs of alert/warnings.
Is there a law that punishes such public incitement in the UAE?

How can I remove overstay fines so that my new employer can issue my visa? 0
I am writing to seek your legal advice regarding a complex immigration issue involving a person currently overstaying in Abu Dhabi.
His visa has expired, and although he received a job offer from a company in January 2025, the new visa process has not moved forward due to outstanding fines.
To resolve the issue, he applied to the court in November 2024 to request a reduction in the overstay fine.
He received a notification/link in January 2025 to visit immigration, but unfortunately, he could not attend due to serious health issues related to uric acid, which left him unable to walk.
Additionally, he was unable to seek medical help due to the lack of health insurance and severe financial difficulties.
He is now in a position where he wants to regularize his status in the UAE, clear any pending issues, and find a job to support his family.
We kindly request your guidance.
We would greatly appreciate your support in helping to resolve this matter in the best possible way.
Thank you

What to do if the bank guarantee provided to Dubai Government Authority has been misplaced? 0
“The guarantee is valid until 24.11.2021 and shall, before expiry, be automatically renewed until advised by you that the contract has been fulfilled.
We have received an email from the Dubai Government Authority stating that the Original Bank guarantee has been misplaced, along with the reason that, due to the COVID period, many staff were working remotely at home, and the Dubai Government Authority has sent NOC for the release of the bank guarantee stating that"
“Kindly release the bank guarantee No..... as the supplier has fulfilled the condition of the contract without any claim.”
Further, the applicant has provided an undertaking cum indemnity to cancel the bank guarantee and release the underlying cash margin.
So in the above case, the applicant has given the undertaking cum indemnity and beneficiary also confirmed by email that they have lost the guarantee so in such case.
What further action does the bank need to take?
Being the government authority, the bank may get less support in terms of documentation, so please advise.
