Dear Respected Lawyers, I need advice. I have worked in a company for 6 years. After 4 years of leaving that company, I need a detailed experience letter mentioning my position at that time, with duties. As per the labor law, can I get it or not, or how? I have to submit this letter to the Ministry of Labor in the UAE to prove that my duties are matching with my visa. The employers are not responding to my emails or even calls; they are purposefully delaying it so that I cannot get my new job.

Hello, I want to know if my employer has the right to send me back to my home country since they hired me directly from there, if I resign after one year with them.

Hello, I am seeking your legal advice regarding a matter involving a former colleague who borrowed money from me for personal reasons. Despite multiple follow-ups, he has now blocked all communication and is refusing to repay the amount. I have clear proof of the transaction through bank transfer records, WhatsApp conversations, and a copy of his Emirates ID. This individual has a history of borrowing money from others and not repaying, and even told me to "go to the police," showing no intention of resolving the issue. Please advise on the best legal course of action to recover the amount and proceed with a formal complaint if necessary. Looking forward to your guidance!

Hello, I received an eviction notice from the Abu Dhabi Enforcement Court to evict my current apartment for non-payment of rent (Due to loss of job). I wanted to cooperate, so I went personally to the Abu Dhabi Enforcement Office one day after I received the notice by SMS to arrange the eviction date to be 25 July, as I had a friend I could stay with temporarily until I sorted out the situation. Now my friend is traveling till 16 August, and I have literally nowhere else to go. Is there a way to submit a petition to reschedule the eviction till 16 August? I need help on this ASAP, as the enforcement is in 4 days. If no solution is found, I will be forced onto the street in temperatures of +40 degrees, and no way to go

Hi Can the real estate agent increase the rent every year? Last year, we increased the rent by 5% based on RERA's index, and this year, the agent wants to increase the rent significantly. Where does it say they need to increase the rent every year? Many thanks in advance. M

I sold my vehicle to a known Buy and Sell agency in Abu Dhabi last 25 July 2025. They inspected the vehicle meticulously and quoted AED 12,000 Net. A vehicle sale-purchase agreement was presented, revealing that they will cut AED 600 for a convenience fee. So my Net pay will be 11,400. I agreed and signed all in good faith. I was instructed to wait until their PRO call and do the transfer of title at the vehicle registry. Since it was Friday, the transfer was not completed, and I have to wait till Monday. The next day, Saturday (17:30-18:00), they sent a message that the car is dead, sent it via recovery to Dubai for another inspection. They told me that the price needs to be renegotiated; they gave me a figure of AED 9000. They sent me a new agreement with the figure of 9000, but I did not sign it and just ignored it. Transfer finished, then they sent 11,400 to my account. Now they want the alleged excess back. Legally, do I owe them? Or I am being harassed as phone calls and emails are non-stop.

Salaam Alekum We had a client from the US who had an agreement with us for 19-20 big buses for 20 days of transport service in KSA. They cancelled 12 buses and then the entire order 2-3 days before the event. They paid around 25% of the total cost initially agreed on 50% before the event. We have been keeping those buses on hold for more than 1 month, not taking other bookings, and facing losses. My company is charging them 50% cancellation fees because of last-minute cancellation, but now the client is threatening us to take legal action and doing PR advisement by asking for the deposit they paid. Our policy is refund will be issued within 45 days after internal investigation, but the client is threatening us again. We don't give a refund if the cancellation is done by the client and mentioned on the invoice as well. In this case, we are considering a solution which takes time. What can we do in this situation, as we have already faced lots of loss?

I took out a loan with [----] in the UAE in 2018 and made initial payments for about five months. Unfortunately, due to family issues, I had to return to Pakistan and have not been able to return since. I have been unemployed, which has hindered my ability to make payments consistently. Although I have been making payments for the past three years, the high conversion rates have made it difficult to keep up with the amounts due. I genuinely want to fulfill my obligations, but inflation has further complicated my financial situation. Additionally, transferring money from Pakistan to the UAE for deposits is also a challenge. I have been consistently paying between AED 500 and 1000 for a long time; however, any delay or irregularity in my payments results in threats of police action against me. My inquiry is whether there is a chance of being arrested in Pakistan, and what potential repercussions I might encounter if I cease making payments.

I received a legal notice in November 2024. My renewal is due on Sep 1, 2025. At the moment, my rent is 36K. Market price is 42k - 52K. Meanwhile, the apartment is sold and the new owner, through the old agent, is asking us to leave or pay for the following 3 months a 54k pro rate (which would mean 54k/4). Shouldn't the increase be limited to what the RERA calculator is allowing, just 10%?

Dear Team, I have received a final judgment in my favor for 5 months' salary, and I’ve already initiated execution through Al Adheed Center. Now, my employer is requesting to settle the matter outside the court and promises to pay the full amount within 45 days. However, due to past false promises and non-payment, I am hesitant to trust him. Could you please advise: 1. Is it safer to continue with the execution process? 2. If I choose to accept the settlement, how can I legally document the payment schedule to ensure enforcement if he defaults? 3. Can this settlement agreement be filed or endorsed through Al Adheed or the court to keep legal pressure? Looking forward to your guidance.

An "A" individual / Company by mistake transfers/deposits some funds to another "B" company. "B" company, despite certain follow-up efforts with "A" Company to recall or claim back the wrong payment, remained unresponsive, and “A" company could not track the depositor information. In such cases, what is the time frame within which "A" Company is liable to retain in suspense? Can "A" company deny the claims of "B" company in the future, as it was written off by "A" company after a few months of tracking.

Hello, I have received the execution case for RDC Dubai (-----), and this is the case no. if you want to review. I asked a lot of lawyers, and they were unable to reply. I want to know, if I do not vacate the property within 7 days, will the court officer come immediately for forced eviction, or does it take time? However, I have discussed with the owner, and they said they will pause it. Please let me know.
