1
Q: Hello,
There was a cheque bounce case for the rental of the company office we had with Tecom. The authority has banned my travel, and I'm in my home country right now.
My question is if I visit Dubai and settle this issue with paying the fine, will there be any further ban on my travel?

Consequences of the non-payment of rental cheques
0
Q: I have a rental dispute with my previous landlord of AED 40000 and he went to RDC.
I was still unable to pay him though I negotiated for instalments.
Now, he has presented a bounced cheque too.
What are the legal procedures both criminal and civil in this matter?
If I go to the police and pay the court fine, can all this matter be resolved and the travel ban lifted?

Can I rent a new flat in Sharjah if I have an unuresolved rental dispute previously?


1
Q: Hello,
I'm just looking for information related to rent disputes.
A year ago, I had a real estate dispute in Sharjah and I agreed to make payments in installments with the landlord.
Due to my financial situation, I still have not cleared the outstanding amount.
I've ended up living in a small partition, luckily I have found people who can share the cost If I want to lease a new flat in Sharjah.
But I'm not sure if I can still rent a flat under my name while the previous rental dispute is not closed.
Am I able to rent a new flat under my name?
Your righteous advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks

What to do if I have a case to pay the amount of two bounced rental cheques?




1
Q: I live in a Sharjah flat. Two of my cheques bounced and the third cheque went smoothly.
Now my building real estate lawyer doesn't want to take one payment at a time.
He wants the full money of two bounced cheques plus the lawyer fees, which is huge too.
Is this fair?

My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and bounced cheque. How to follow up? 0
Hello.
My company has filed a case against a client for failure to pay and a bounced cheque. The client's company is registered as a virtual office in the Creative City Free Zone in Fujairah, so our case is filed there.
The client basically purchased some equipment from us, and his payment via bank transfer did not go through and was rejected. Then, when we deposited his security cheque after multiple attempts to contact and no answer, the cheque bounced.
The company is under his wife's name, and we have filed a case on the same.
The court has accepted our application, however, they have instructed the execution bureau to get the Emirates ID of this authorised signatory. The bureau is asking us to get it, and we have no way to do so, unfortunately.
Without the Emirates ID, the court cannot freeze the bank accounts or put a travel ban, etc.
What are our options here?
