Q: Dear Lawyers,
I have a travel ban and a court case for a rental dispute with my landlord. Can I get amnesty since my visa expired 2 years ago, and I couldn't renew it or travel?
I just want to regularize my visa status, work, and pay off my dues. Will amnesty be applicable, and can the absconding case and travel ban be removed?

The employers are delaying my experience letter intentionally. What can I do? 0
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.

I sold my car to a car agency and they claim that the car is dead to deduct an amount. What can I do? 0
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.

Will the execution procedures start automatically to evict the tenant if the landlord does not request it? 0
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.

Can I get my overstay fines waived after a case was recently closed? 0
Hi,
I would like to seek legal assistance. I am currently overstaying due to a complaint registered against me last year, which was not closed even after it was settled.
Only today, I received a letter from Dubai Prosecution about the lifting of my travel ban and the closure of the case. Is there any way I can file to claim a waiver for my fines or at least a fine reduction?
I only came to know about this case/complaint when I was trying to renew my visa last April, and due to this, I was not able to renew it on time.
Please assist.
Thank you!

What can our company do if the client cancelled the order and threatened to file a case for the cancellation fee? 0
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 settled and paid my debt in Dubai Courts but the travel ban is still acitve after one week. How to lift it? 0
Hi
I have a question.
Last week, I settled my debt under the Amicable Settlement Center in Dubai Courts. The plaintiff acknowledged the receipt of the total payment from me.
However, it was also stipulated in the amicable settlement that the plaintiff needed to make sure the travel ban against me had to be cancelled immediately.
However, now one week later, he still hasn’t lifted the travel ban and isn’t responding to my call/message.
As I need to travel, I would like to know:
1. What can I do myself and how?
2. Is there any way I can make sure he honours his part of the settlement with urgency, as I need to travel next week?
Please advise.
Thank you

How can I recover money from a colleague who blocked me and refuses to repay? 0
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!

What can you do if you get arrested for carrying prohibited substances at the airport? 0
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.

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.

What can I do if my company filed a breach of trust case against me after losing money I held from customers? 0
Hi Sir,
My company was not giving me my commission cheques since November, so I kept the payment of 2 - 3 customers with me and I told the company to pay my commission to take payment of customers, then I lost the money from the car.
I reported it to police, but police didn't find any evidence. Then my company came to know this matter, and they said I owed them money. They forced me to sign a paper that I would pay in one month for the amount of 18000.
I signed it, then they terminated me. They were not ready to pay anything. I filed a case in labor for about 37000 dhs, then my company filed a criminal case against me for breach of trust.
My company has my passport, and they haven't canceled my visa yet. After my labour case, my company filed the case against me in labour as well, claiming an amount of 49900.
Then they requested to cancel the labour case of 49900 and filed a case 24000.
What should I do in this scenario?
I am under too much stress.
Please advise.

I recieved an eviction notice from the Abu Dhabi Enforcement Court. How can I delay eviction? 0
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
