Checking records after rejecting police clearance certificate
17
Q: Hello,
Around 2 years back, I was acquitted (found innocent) in a financial case in the Court of First Instance and Court of Appeal as well in Dubai.
I received my passport back but I never went to the police station after that. I have changed visa and travelled without a problem. Recently, I applied for a Police Clearance Certificate and it was rejected.
My brother went to the police station and they told him I have a file there. Now, I feel scared to go myself as I don't know if it's an old case I mentioned and I just need to clear it from the system or something new.
Is this because I didn't submit the judgement papers to the police station? Or more likely some new case?
I am interested in hiring a lawyer to help me with this.
Thank you

Can I get a police clearance with a prior finished and sentenced criminal case?


2
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
Can I obtain a police clearance after serving a sentence and appealing to court in the UAE? I had a misdemeanor in 2018, a 3rd-degree case.
After that, I secured a job and obtained a visa, but due to the police clearance rule, I failed to obtain it.
However, my case was settled five years ago in the appeal court, and I served one month in Al Wathba prison.

Dubai police clearance delays despite cleared misdemeanor. Next steps?

1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I had a misdemeanor case, paid the fine, and everything was cleared. According to the ruling, I could apply for police clearance after one year upon obtaining a rehabilitation certificate.
It has now been over a year, and I have submitted a name-clearing request in Dubai six times without any response.
Can someone please guide me?

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?
