Good Afternoon, I have a new owner who has taken over the building from the previous owner. The new landlord is increasing the rent from 34000 to 44000. With add-ons like commission, deposit, and admin fees. I didn't receive any notice for the renewal as per the law (90 days prior to the expiry). Our building is not registered in the RERA rental index. The previous landlord didn't provide us with the Ejari, but I have a contract from him. What can be done? I need your advice.

Hello, My brother's brother-in-law was arrested at Fujairah Airport, as he was carrying 25 bottles (each of 10 Grams) of new shama kamini vidrawan ras. This is an ayurvedic formulation that promotes sexual wellness. The ingredients help to enhance libido in men. As he (brother's brother-in-law) informed police that my brother asked him to carry this ayurvedic medicine, as he (my brother) wanted to gift it to his few friends, as this is cheaper in India. As of now, both my brother and his brother-in-law are arrested by police stating that this medicine contains drugs and is kept in Fujairah Central Jail. It's been more than 15 days since my brother's brother-in-law (arrested on 26th June), and more than one week since my brother's arrest (6th July). Now, I don't have any idea or information about what will happen and what the current status is. Your kind advice and help will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, My visa has automatically been closed since I’m outside the UAE. But my company didn’t pay me the final month’s salary and settlement. I submitted my resignation from outside the UAE, as the company suggested I take a leave instead when I resigned from there. Now I filed a complaint through MOHRE customer service for the salary, but the response was that they couldn’t find any issue. I’m not sure how the company cancelled my visa without clearing the payment. How can I check if they have filed an absconding case?

Hello, I have been terminated by my employer suddenly with the reason of unsatisfactory performance; however, I did not receive any feedback in this area. In fact, I received an increment last month with no prior warning letters. I am really shocked by this decision, and during the meeting, I was pressured by the line manager and HR Director, due to which I got overwhelmed and signed the termination. They gave me a 3-month notice period under Article 43. Also, in my EOS calculation, they only included the gratuity but did not add the annual leave pay or the 3-month notice period salary. It’s my third year in the organization, and I am on company sponsorship under a limited contract. I want to know my rights as an employee and what action I should take in this regard.

Hello, I have received a fine of 50K as an owner for appointing an employee on a visiting visa, and the employee received a 10K fine. It has been paid. Please advise if there is any possibility of getting this money back by appeal. This is my first fine ever, and the employee’s visa has now been stamped.

Hi, My cousin has been taken into custody by the Sharjah CID police, and when asked, they said “suspicious.” He has not done anything and has no cheque case. It’s been 3 days since he has been under police custody.

Salaam alaikum, I made a complaint at the police station in Barsha about my stolen money 2 months ago. I left the country for a short while soon after that, but since I don't know the process, I got missed calls from Dubai prosecution and a message from them to visit them on June 15th. I didn't go since I was outside the UAE, and when I called them back, no one answered the call. Anyhow, 3 days ago, the Dubai Public Prosecution portal shows the person was sentenced for theft, and I also got a message that a judgment has been passed. I just want to know if I'll be penalised for not attending prosecution, or stopped at immigration when I'm returning. Jazakallah Khair!

Hello, The Second Party shall be obliged to pay back the value of the training (which is estimated at AED 10,000) if they terminate the employment contract of their own free will within one year from the date of commencement, without prejudice to the First Party's legal or contractual obligations. (The amount agreed upon for the value of the training period must be commensurate with the employee’s period of employment.) I have that clause in my labour contract regarding the training fees, but despite completing 359 days of service with the company, I have not received any such certification from them. Now, the company is refusing to cancel my employment and is demanding that I pay AED 10,000. In response, I filed a complaint with the Labour Department requesting the cancellation of my labour card. However, the process is being delayed, and meanwhile, the company has filed a counter-complaint against me, demanding the full AED 10,000. What can I do?

Hello, Is it okay to give birth in the UAE if the mother is single and the father is married? Will there be any problem with that, as long as the parents declare that they are the biological parents to obtain the child's birth certificate?

Hello, If acquitted by the appeal court, is the travel ban and wanted status automatically removed? I mean, an innocent verdict was issued by the first instance court, then it was appealed, and after that, the travel ban was there. Now, the appeal court has issued an acquittal from all charges; so is the travel ban still there, or is it automatically removed after the judgment is issued?
