Dear Legal Community, I am seeking advice regarding a residential tenancy contract renewal in Ras Al Khaimah. Situation: Property: Residential unit in Ras Al Khaimah. Current Annual Rent: AED 27,000. Contract Expiry: December 21st, 2025. Landlord's Proposal: Increase to AED 38,000 (approx. 41% increase). Notification Date: October 1st, 2025 (81 days before expiry). My Questions: Notice Period Validity: Is a notice of 81 days for a rent increase legally valid in Ras Al Khaimah, given the common requirement of 90 days' prior notice? Rent Increase Legality: Is a 41% rent increase permissible under RAK rental laws and the RAK Municipality Rental Index, or are there caps/guidelines? Tenant's Rights: What are my rights in this situation? Can I insist on renewing at the current rent (AED 27,000) due to the invalid notice? Dispute Resolution: What is the process for escalating this to the Ras Al Khaimah Rent?

I have a labor case against the company; it's a small company working from home. After MOHRE, I filed it in the court. 3 hearings are over already, and the other party has not shown up at any hearings and has not responded to any court notifications. They are not coming to the registered address, so the court has not been able to serve them properly either. The trade license is active, and the company is working, putting updates on LinkedIn and all that. How many more hearings might the court give before giving judgment? What can be done from my side?

Can my employer cancel my labour contract and revoke my labour card without my knowledge?

Hello Sir, If I were found guilty of a misdemeanor, I would pay the fines. Would that be the reason for the rejection of my application for a police clearance certificate? And if it is, how do I go about it?

The company did not provide me with a visa after 10 months of working with them. They always promise that it is in process. Then they terminated me verbally.

My family has my passport with them and is not allowing me to have it. I’m a 24-year-old UAE citizen woman, but I can’t have my passport. It’s with my family. How can I take my passport? What are my rights? Also, if my family physically abuses me, what are my rights? Also, if my family hits me and physically abuses me, what are my rights? What can I do legally to have my passport back? And in case of physical violence towards me, what are my rights?
