Q: Dear Legal Advice Team,
I would like to ask if it is legal to record a Voice Call in the UAE.
I was talking to my property agent, and right in the middle of the call, She mentioned that I am recording your call, which was shocking as she did this without my consent.
Can you please advise what do the current CyberCrime and Privacy laws in the UAE state on this?

Can a verbal abuse case be filed after a heated argument over a car rental deposit refund?




1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I was scammed by a car rental company that has not refunded my deposit for the past month. I believe they are fraudulents.
Today, out of frustration, we had a heated argument on the phone, followed by verbal abuse during the next call. He claimed to have recorded it and said he would file a case.
I want to know what the chances of a case are in this situation and what I should do. They are scammers for sure, but I’m concerned because he said he recorded the call and will raise a verbal abuse complaint.

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?

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?
