Hello, I wonder if you can help me out. Basically, I appointed an estate agent for my apartment. They signed a one year contract with the tenant. The tenant is out of the country now. The first-year contract finished in February this year. He did not renew the contract although he was saying that he will come to pay arrears and sign a new contract. Now he said he doesn't have any money and is not coming back. My estate agent is telling me that I can't get into my property because the tenant may claim he had valuables in the apartment. What can I do?

Hi, I worked for 13 years in the UAE and I have an excellent record with the bank. The company where I worked shut its operations effective Dec 31, 2019. I was lucky however to have found a job in Bahrain where I am currently residing. I have a personal loan and an outstanding of about AED 300 000. With my current salary in Bahrain, I am not able to pay the full monthly installment which currently is about AED 18 000 since my salary in Bahrain is 43% less than that of the UAE's. I have not defaulted so far, I have kept some money at the bank and I wired an amount from Bahrain, but at the end of this month, I will not be able to pay anymore the full amount. Is it fine if I pay half of the amount on a monthly basis? If I do this, will the bank still file a case against me? I have contacted and emailed the bank countless of times to restructure the loan, but since I do not have a UAE resident visa, the bank is rejecting this possibility. Please could you clarify the legal part of this dilemma? Thanks!

Dear Jassim, I am an employee with a private firm on an unlimited contract. I have resigned and my contract mentions a notice period for 60 days, however, I want to serve only 30 days due to other issues. The company force me to serve full 60 days period. Can I use "compensation in lieu of notice" and pay for the 30 days notice or can they company (if they want) still put a one year ban on me? Regards

Hi, I have purchased a property in Dubai in 2014 and was promised for handover after 6 months, but didn't complete. In 2018, the property was ceased by the land dept but the project where we had our unit was 90% complete so it was not cancelled and now they gave it to a new developer to complete it and hand it over. We were told by the land dept now to contact the new developer for registration and handover. Now almost 2 months passed we have sent multiple emails to the new developer but no response from them. Not even acknowledged. What should we do in this situation? We have paid the full amount.
