I have a villa and the tenant renting it gave me a bounced cheque. What to do?

I have a villa in Dubai and rented it over for a year.

The payment is done in 2 cheques and apparently the second cheque bounced.

What are the legal measures to be taken and how much it will cost me if I move legally?

Send him a notice to pay the rent within one month, and if he doesn't pay, you have the right to file an eviction case against him.

Good day,

Hope all is well.

What you need to do now is send a legal notice for the bounced cheque. I can write you the notice and you submit it through notary public here.

Or if you are not here, you can send a power of attorney to me. If he did not pay within a week, then you do an eviction notice based on the fact he did not pay.

And if he did not evict then you raise your case through rental dispute committee.

As for how much this will cost you, for the notice drafting and sending it through notary it will cost you roughly 1500 AED.

If you reached the court or the dispute committee in that case, then they will take 4% court charges from the whole rental amount, which the tenant will pay it back when you win the case.

And for the lawyer fees, we are probably talking about 7 to 10 thousand on average to handle the whole case.

If you need any further assistance, contact me on Whatsapp.

File a case in RDC to vacate the tenant, and file a case in the court to collect the cheque amount.

Our fees are reasonable.

For more information, please call us on phone.

Hello,

There are several measures for the same. The main is to serve a legal notice with the bounced cheque compensation.

Then to open an RDC case after the notice period and also open a cheque bounce execution case.
