Apprehension of immigration fine before returning to the UAE
2
Q: My brother went to Dubai on a visit visa and applied for a work visa and he got his work permit, but he came back to India during his visit visa (before work permit start) and never gone back.
His employer cancelled his visa and we have the documents (The employer is one of our relatives, he didn't report anything wrong to immigration).
Recently, my brother applied for a visit visa and he got rejected and then we informed the employer and they cleared from Immigration. Now, we reapplied for the visit visa and we got it.
My question is , although we got the visa, our fear is maybe my brother gets fine when he comes to Dubai because he never informed immigration that he is not coming back to Dubai for work (we have the proper work permit cancellation document and visit visa).
What should we do?

How to lift a ban based on a miscommunication?
1
Q: Hi,
I am working with a company in India as a technical specialist. Previously, I was working with the government of India with the National Informatics Centre as a scientist for over 10 years.
Currently, I am remotely working with few UAE customers; Etisalat - telecom's operations, Dubai Islamic Bank, MAF Carrefour Dubai on database architect, implementation, and database technology solutions.
Recently, last year Jan 2020, I was trying to apply for a business visa for office work, but my visa was declined with the remark "blacklisted". The issue happened in 2015. It was a miscommunication from my end when I was traveling to the USA via Abu Dabhi.
This is the first incidence that happened in my life. I had kept my bag on the wrong seat and the cabin crew asked me what is inside the bag. I said camera and VIKS balm. The cabin crew officer thought that I used the word "bomb". UAE emigration deported back me to India.
Need your help and guidance!

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.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
