How can I reach a settlement for unpaid rent with the landlord to lift the travel ban?
2
Q: Greetings,
I have a rental case opened against me due to failed rent payments and bounced cheques with the flat since August 2021 based on failed business.
I had received a court order and a fixed amount to pay the amount in 5 installments. After that, I lost my job.
And after contacting a typing center on my rental dispute case, I learned I have a travel ban and an arrest warrant.
Even though I had the intention to pay, I had gone to the management with half the amount earlier before the enforcement case was opened and they refused negotiation.
Until now, I haven't been able to secure a job because I can't get a cancellation from my previous company and I don't have better means to pay the initial amount requested for the first installment.
Please, what can I do to at least get my name off the system to find a new job?
And how much out of AED 35,000 must I fulfill to lift the ban or arrest warrant while I settle the balance instrumentally?
Thanks.

It all happened during Covid 19. I am getting stable now and I am doing a full-time job but it would take some time to pay off.

Q: Greetings,
I had a rental case in Ajman, which I have settled, and got a clearance letter from Ajman Municipality. There was also a travel ban placed.
So, I would like to ask whether the travel ban is lifted once the case is settled or if I have to separately request the removal of the travel ban.
Thanks!

Is it normal for a judge to suspend an arrest warrant against a tenant for visa renewal?

Q: Dear Lawyers,
I got an arrest warrant issued for a tenant in Dubai after the eviction process.
However, he submitted an e-request to suspend the arrest warrant so he could renew his visa without any supporting documents or payment.
The judge accepted a one-month suspension. Is this normal?

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
