I live in Dubai. I received an eviction notice last year from the company that owned my apartment on the pretext of sale. The apartment was subsequently sold to an individual, and I have paid him the rent once. Does the eviction notice have any legal standing now?

I was on my annual leave. One day before coming back to work, I had an accident and I took 7 days' sick leave from the doctor. Afterwards, I came to work, worked for one day, and on the second day received a 30-day termination notice letter. The company rejected my sick leave even though it was attested by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Can I claim arbitrary dismissal and the 7 days deducted from my end of service?

I am a UK passport holder planning to travel to Dubai soon, and I would like to ensure there are no travel bans, criminal flags, or pending cases associated with my name or passport before I travel. Could you kindly provide me with the following information: 1. The process for conducting a travel ban / criminal record check in Dubai or across the UAE. 2. The documents you require from me (passport copy, authorization letter, etc.). 3. The estimated timeline for receiving confirmation. 4. The cost of this service.

This is my 2nd time renewing my visa for my company, and they changed my contract's notice period from 30 days to 90 days without informing me, and they are insisting that the contract is authority-generated. I checked the UAE Website, and it is mentioned that we can choose between 30 days and 90 days. Please advise what I should do; I don't want to serve 90 days, and it was not in my initial contract. Thank you.

Hello, My landlord gave me 12 months’ notice for eviction because he was interested in selling the property. Now I found out he gifted the unit to his son and re-rented the property. Can I claim compensation?

Good day, I would like to seek clarification regarding the possibility of obtaining a new labour contract in Dubai while a travel ban is in place. 1. If a person currently has a travel ban, is it possible for them to obtain a new labour contract when starting a new job? 2. Can the hiring company apply for a new labour contract even if the candidate has a travel ban? 3. Will the new company be notified or become aware of the travel ban once they submit the labour contract application? For context, the candidate was previously on a spouse visa, which was successfully renewed despite the travel ban. Your guidance on this matter will be highly appreciated.

Hello, I had filed a case at RDC against my landlord as they had not responded to my legal notice for cancellation, and they had not officially renewed the contract for 2 years as well. I won the case, and the verdict came for contract cancellation. I filed for enforcement after 15 days, and it has been a month since then. The contract is still showing as active on the Dubai REST app. I had disconnected my DEWA and given notice 3 months in advance of the contract expiry date. What can I do now to ensure that they cancel the contract?

I have hired a lawyer for enforcement purposes. I am divorced with two kids, and the kids are Emirati. I submitted all the receipts and rent that is due, and I am still waiting for a response from the court; it has been more than two weeks. The landlord has sent a warning letter as the rent is late for one month now, and they have threatened to cut off the electricity and water, saying it’s part of the system and that this will be disconnected automatically as the contract has not been renewed. I checked online at the court system, but still nothing has been done to get the money from the father as he is incapacitated and in a rehab center. What can I do? I have already paid a lot of expenses with the lawyer.

I am seeking your advice regarding a financial matter that has now escalated to the police. Below is a summary of the situation: I lent money to a lady for the purposes of her medical centre. We had a personal understanding, and she was supposed to repay me by October last year, but she has continuously delayed payment. Last month, due to her failure to repay, I filed a case. During this process, I discovered that the repayment cheques were not issued by her personally, but by her husband. The cheques were drawn against a medical centre that is different from the one she originally told me about. I have since learned that this medical centre has already been closed down. The cheques are linked to an account in Sharjah, not Dubai, and I am unsure whether this account was active at the time the cheques were issued. At present, the case is with the police. However, I am uncertain whether her actions will be treated as a fraudulent activity and formally registered as such, or whether the

I resigned from my company as they forged my signature to cancel my visa quickly. They informed me only after transferring my settlement without my approval, and they instructed the bank to hold my account with the EOSB, knowing I have pending liabilities with my bank. They sent me a copy of my cancellation to sign, but I refused and told them I would come in the morning to sign. However, when I later checked my visa status, I was shocked to see that I had already been cancelled. I reported this to MOHRE, but they kept telling me to go to the police. I obtained a soft copy of my visa cancellation, and I saw that my signature had been copy-pasted — it came from HR. Do I need a lawyer to file my case? I don’t have enough money to manage because the bank is holding my gratuity. I don’t know what to do now. Maybe someone can help me with my case, as I also don’t have the money to renew my visa since the bank has blocked my current account.

I have a partner in the UK, but I don't know which visa to get, as we haven't lived together for 2 years, and that is one of the requirements for the family visa. Which visa should I get?
