Q: My employer does not want to give me the annual leave and when I took one week off to go back to my home country since my mother passed away, he deducted the same from my salary and refused to give it to me.

Bounced rental cheque dispute 0
Dear Sir,
We have paid an amount with Rent Dispute Committee (RDC) for a rent case, but supposedly there is the bounced cheque case still filed with police.
Since we have paid based on the court order and paid in court, doesn't the cheque amount drop? Do we pay twice the same amount?
Best regards

Consumer protection and the concept of "cooling period" 0
Is there a law regarding a "cooling period" on an item purchased?
We had a problem with a company distributing vacuum cleaners in Sharjah, we have returned the item to them as we felt like being pressured to buy without giving us time to think before buying, and their contract states that I have to pay 4,000 Dirhams as a cancellation if I return the item within 3 days.
Is it legal? Where is the 3 day cooling period?

Breach of tenant's privacy 0
(If) I took a picture of my tenant's living room and posted it on a property website to rent the property, as we've agreed with the tenant that he vacates the property at the end of the year. Then he found out about the advertisement on the property website in the remaining 3 months before the end of the contract (we have posted the advertisement with the picture of the living room) and informed me to remove it from the website. I removed it immediately, but he has printed out the advertisement with his living room pictures.Now he is saying that if I made any issues to him as a tenant or deny his demands or do not renew his contract or increase the rent he will file a case in the police for the privacy breach. Please note that this was not intentional and it was a mistake without knowing the laws about these things.Q: How long does a person have the time to file for a privacy breach until it's considered invalid or it's long overdue or something similar? Kindly advice. Thank you.
