Q: Hello Advocate Nikhat, How are you, Madam? My house is in Abu Dhabi and I had rent bounced cheques due to my job loss. Q.1 As we know that for a rent cheque bounce, after the police case is closed and the civil case is opened, then in this civil case, the judge will decide on the amount for instalments. Won't he consider what we say about how much we can pay? Q.2 Ref to the above question, it means there is no jail directly if we agree with the judge on the amount to be paid in instalments. Now, I understand that once the instalments are finalized, then we have to pay them regularly. The question is, in the civil case, there is no direct Jail in the first or second hearing, as the judge negotiates the amount for payment, correct? Q.3 During eviction case, when rent/lease is expired. Since the lease is now connected with Tawtheeq, so if Tawtheeq expires as the rent agreement expires, Will ADDC cut my electricity during this time? Q.4 Please, also advise what is Legal Advice Middle East, is it a law firm?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I had a commercial rental issue in Dubai, and the final judgment was an arrest warrant. The real estate company received an evacuation notice and proceeded to throw out all our papers and sell our assets, as per the court decision. They threw all our papers and books onto the road, and Dubai Municipality issued a fine to us. However, we did not throw anything onto the road, and the real estate company did this purposefully. What can be done in this case?

Q: Hello, I have won a compensation case against my ex-landlord in Dubai because he re-rented the property after giving me notice that he was selling. I have two questions: 1.

Am I able to claim legal fees in addition to the court and expert fees? Thank you!
