How do I remove my late father's name from his UAE trade licenses?

How can I make sure that the execution case settlement offered by the bank

Q: I have an ongoing cheque execution case that has been active for a year. Finally, after lengthy negotiations, the bank is willing to waive the interest and late payment fees and close the loan in a single settlement after issuing an offer letter. Should I trust them and proceed, or should I inform the court about settling the matter outside the court? I am concerned that they might refuse to withdraw the case or demand additional payments such as legal fees after I make the final payment. Please advise.

Am I obligated to settle compensation for the rent difference after evicting a tenant at their request?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I served an eviction notice to the tenant at his own request for repossession of my property. Unfortunately, due to my medical condition, I had to rent my property to a new tenant. My former tenant is claiming compensation, which I am ready to settle, but I feel his claim is unfair. He is claiming the difference between the old rental amount he was paying and the new rental amount contracted by me with the new tenant for my property, in addition to the moving expenses. I believe it is only fair to pay the difference between the old rental amount and the new rental amount the former tenant is paying for the new property he has leased with his new landlord, plus the expenses he incurred for moving into his new property. Please advise which of the above amounts I need to settle!

How can I maintain a travel ban on an LLC manager in a labor case despite claims of independence?

Q: Dear Lawyers, A labor case has been in the execution phase for the past eight months. I have pursued various enforcement actions, including blocking bank accounts, placing inquiries and holds on properties, and blocking the traffic file. I’ve also requested inquiries and holds on trade licenses. However, the defendant did not respond. Eventually, I requested a travel ban on the manager, which the court approved. This prompted the defendant to argue that, as an LLC, the court cannot impose a travel ban on the manager, citing independence issues and similar arguments. Now, the court has asked me to respond. Could you advise me on how to argue to keep the travel ban in effect? The manager’s personal accountability as a representative of the LLC and the prolonged non-response from the company. Evidence showing that the defendant’s non-responsiveness justifies such measures to ensure enforcement. Legal precedents or arguments demonstrating that the travel ban is a legitimate enforcement action under similar circumstances.

Can I sue my landlord if he cuts off DEWA and forces me to leave before my non-Ejari contract ends?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I rented a studio on a monthly basis, and my rent included all utilities and bills, with a contract that isn’t Ejari. Now, the landlord has cut off the DEWA and is asking me to vacate the unit and take the rest of my rent three months before the contract expires. Is there any legal action I can take against him?

My landlord increased my rent more than RERA Index and refused my offer and deposit. What to do?

Q: Good morning, My landlord notified me 90 days before my contract’s end of a 15% rent increase, raising it from AED 55,000 to AED 63,250. However, according to the RERA index, the maximum increase should be 5%. I tried to negotiate, but they refused. On October 15, I made an offer and deposit of AED 57,250 (including the RERA-approved increase). The judge accepted it, but the landlord rejected it, claiming their other 1-bedroom units rent for AED 75,000. My contract expired on October 31, 2024. Recently, the landlord emailed saying I’m now staying illegally and will be charged AED 100 per day for not signing a new contract. Last week, I requested a new contract based on the RERA index, but they responded by refusing my offer and deposit, demanding full payment. My question: Should I be concerned, or should I let them pursue a case? Or just wait and see? Thank you for your assistance.

The landlord insists on increasing the rent more than RERA Index. What can I do?

Q: Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with my rental situation and would appreciate any advice. I purchased a company in July that’s renting a shop space, and the tenancy contract (under the company’s name) is ending on November 22. The landlord is insisting on a 40% rent increase, even though the RERA Index clearly indicates a 0% increase for this area. I’ve informed the landlord that this increase isn’t in line with RERA regulations, requested a new contract, and asked him to come by to collect the cheques—but he’s been unresponsive. To protect our position, I filed an offer and deposit with the rental dispute center, but it was automatically closed because the landlord didn’t respond. My question is: what should I do next? Filing a case for renewal will cost 5% of the rent, which is a significant amount right now. Are there any alternatives to proceed without incurring that cost, or any other steps to ensure the landlord adheres to the regulated rental terms?

Can a teacher legally search a lost backpack and use found items as evidence?

Q: Dear Lawyers, If a student`s backpack is found in a bathroom stall in Dubai, is it legal for a teacher to take the bag to their office and thoroughly search it without the student knowing where their bag is? Additionally, if a vape is found in the bag, are they allowed to use it as evidence, considering it was discovered in that manner? There was also no suspicion of the student, other than the bag being found in the bathroom.

Does a tenancy contract supersede the laws of the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA)?

The tenant’s continued occupation shall not result in the automatic renewal of this agreement. Questions: A. Does this addendum supersede the laws of the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA)? B. Does the contract automatically renew, or is it considered terminated as per the conditions of the addendum? C.

How to return to Dubai after leaving with unpaid credit card and possible absconding?

How can I cancel my visa to join a new employer if my ex-employer filed a case for training charges?

Q: Hi, I have filed a complaint (MOHRE) against my company for my pending salary. To blackmail me my company has also filed a complaint against me claiming I have to pay them training fees (10,000 AED) which are mentioned in the contract. However, I have not received any training from the company. The issue is I want my visa cancelation as soon as possible because my new employer is waiting for me for so long now. I want guidance on this matter. My employer is deliberately delaying this matter and using the visa cancelation as a tool against me. My question to respected lawyers is that, 1. What should I do to get my visa cancelation as soon as possible? 2. Can Visa/labor card cancelation be done on my own? 3. If I win my salary claim case. Can I get a labor card/visa cancelation somehow while a complaint is open from my company against me? Thank you so much for the guidance

Can I exit and re-enter the UAE on a new visa while my family’s visas are on hold?

Q: Dear Lawyers, At present, my visa is canceled, and my family’s visas are on hold. As their sponsor, can I exit the country and re-enter with a new visa due to issues with my current employer? Once I return, I plan to remove the hold on their visas. Is this legally permissible, or could there be issues with my exiting the country while my family remains inside with their visas on hold? Please advise!

Who should submit a dispute to RERA/RDSC if the rent increase is unlawful—the landlord or tenant?

Q: Dear Lawyers, My Dubai landlord is proposing a 9.52% rent increase, which I believe is unlawful. The current rent falls within the RERA rental index range, and no increase is permitted according to the index. The landlord’s representative has been uncooperative in providing proof of a Power of Attorney (POA) or any justification for the proposed increase. Questions: 1. Whose responsibility is it to submit a dispute to RERA/RDSC if the proposed rent increase is unlawful—the landlord`s or the tenant`s? 2. What evidence is required from the landlord (or their representative) to legally justify a rent increase that exceeds what RERA allows? 3. If the Ejari is not renewed due to a dispute at RDSC, will utilities (e.g., DEWA) and services be affected for the tenant?

If my landlord is not responding to my emails and calls, how can I renew the contract?

Q: Hi, My landlord sent an email mentioning that the rent will be increased for next year; however, the new rent amount was not specified in the email. The email was sent in accordance with the 90-day notice requirement. When I called the landlord`s office, I learned the rent amount, which was more than a 15% increase and not in line with RERA regulations. According to RERA, the rent can only be increased by a maximum of 10%. My tenancy contract will expire on February 4, 2025. My questions are: 1. If my landlord is not responding to my emails and calls, how can I renew the contract? 2. When can I renew my contract if it’s expiring on February 4, 2025? 3. How many days or months in advance can I renew it? Kindly advise!
