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?

Automatic cancellation of visa after lapse of 6 months
9
Q: My husband has sent divorce notice to India when I went on a vacation to Kerela. I did not go back to him after that. It has been 10 months since I left Dubai.
I asked him to cancel my dependent visa, but he is not responding to my calls. My visa got expired as I am out of the country for more than 6 months.
I will go and study abroad in a few months, will I have any problem with the immigration or stopovers in Dubai as he is not cancelling my visa?
Please, kindly help.

Q: Hi Ma'am,
I am outside the country. I worked as an employee in Dubai before one year and came to my country without cancelling the labour card and visa.
Now I got a new job and I need to cancel my labour card and I talked with our company owner and send him AED 900 that he asked. But one week over now also and it's not cancelled.
How long does it take to cancel? Does it need AED 900?
Please answer me Ma'am

Can I cancel my house sale contract without extra fees after personal plans changed? 2
Dear Lawyers,
I signed a Form F with a buyer for the sale of my house as we were planning to leave the country. The contract was signed about a month ago, but the handover is not until August.
Due to personal circumstances changing, we are no longer leaving Dubai and would like to cancel Form F.
The Form F contract stipulates that we have to pay the buyer 10% of the purchase value. The real estate agent is now claiming that we also have to pay the buyer's real estate commission and the conveyancing fee.
Our understanding is that the 10% penalty is the only penalty. Which is correct, and what are the next steps to dispute this?
Also, is there any way to dispute the 10% itself under the law due to personal circumstances changing?

Tenant always late with payments, hasn't renewed contract. What to do? 2
Hello,
I have a tenant who is always late with their payment. Their renewal was supposed to be last December 2023.
Currently, they have not signed any new contract, provided any new cheques, and have stayed for three months from December until now without paying rent.
Additionally, I just discovered that they have sublet the apartment with partitions, which is clearly stated as not allowed in the old contract.
Please let me know what should I do legally!

Tenant received renewal notice, rejected proposed rent on renewal day. What next? 2
Hi,
We sent a renewal notice to our Dubai-based tenant 84 days before his contract renewal, with a 10% increase in rent.
The tenant neither agreed nor disagreed with the proposed rent and replied on the day of renewal that he wouldn't be paying the proposed rent.
Due to the argument, the landlord decided to reduce the rent, but the tenant has not yet renewed his contract. It has been 12 days since his contract expired.
Kindly suggest what could be done in this matter.
