How to check if there is a ban or restriction to enter the UAE?

1
Q: Hello,
I overstayed on a Sharjah visit visa and I applied for a fine reduction. My application got approved and I paid the fine and get updating paper from Sharjah immigration.
After a few days, my fine is cleared from the system and I booked a ticket to go back to my country from Dubai, but Dubai immigration canceled my boarding pass and asked me to go back to Sharjah immigration and get outpass if I want to leave.
I applied for outpass and traveled from Sharjah airport. Again, immigration stopped me and said that I am not cleared and that if I want to leave, I can not come again. I explained well and they stamped exit on my passport and asked me to go.
Now, I am scared that I got banned or blacklisted. How can I check if I have a ban or restriction to enter the country again?

Deported from the UAE due to expired visa: Can I return after 6 months?

Q: Hello sir/madam,
My question is, can I return to the UAE after being deported?
The reason for my deportation was that my visit visa had expired, and I was caught by CID and subsequently deported after being in jail.
I am currently in India, and I am unsure if I can go back to the UAE. Some people have said that I can return after six months, but I am not certain.
Could you please help me with this issue?

My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024.
I have two questions:
(a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator?
(b) The second question is, do I have to renew the rental agreement for 3 months (until December 2024) or not?
Thank you.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
