Q: We are 2 partners in a technical services LLC company, it's 6 months old.

Return of a paid investment to a partner willing to quit
2
Q: Hi,
I invested in a hotel business in Dubai with 7 investors including me. the cost invested by all of us was 1.05 million.
One of the investors ran the restaurant full time every day, for 20 months. The guy who ran it full time cheated all of us by not paying us even a single penny in 20 months & made sure the debt goes up above AED 750K.
The other 6 investors don't have any legal proof as we only invested funds. The document owner is the guy who ran the restaurant 51% & the other 49% is on friend's wife name.
He hasn't paid salaries to staff, rent, vendors, vat nothing. We investors even invested additional 300k to pay rent initially, and even that he did not return us. He cheated us.
Now all investors have decided to kick him out & invest more funds to clear the negative 750K. I don't want to continue with these guys anymore, so I want to quit. But they are asking me to quit with zero!
I have invested AED 156500 & they are not ready to pay even one dirham. Please advise how to get at least some of my investment.
Please help.

View allIs a bounced rent cheque case considered a criminal record for U.S. visa applications? 0
Hello,
My rent cheque was bounced, and my landlord filed a case against me in Sharjah Court. I received a fine of 2,000 AED, which was later reduced to 1,000 AED upon appeal.
Does this case count as a criminal conviction under UAE law, or was it handled as a civil matter?
If I apply for a U.S. visa, will I need to submit court records under the requirement for applicants with past convictions?

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied? 0
A bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts due to nonpayment of a personal loan and credit card.
Is a travel ban automatically applied?
I looked on the Dubai Courts website, and it says the judge has issued a “reserved” order for my case.
Furthermore, when the bank emails, they threaten me with a travel ban. So I am assuming there is no travel ban issued (but I don’t know). I haven’t received any notice of a travel ban.
If there is a travel ban, how do I find out?
I have checked the Dubai police app, and there are no financial crimes against me.
Please advise if you know.

View allWhat can I do about constant noise from my upstairs neighbors? 0
Hello,
My neighbors on the upper floor are causing noise throughout the day, almost 24/7. They keep dragging furniture, dropping heavy objects, and slamming doors.
The property manager was not very helpful, and I cannot sleep or take power naps. I sleep when they do and wake up when they wake up.
Also, there are 6 family members in a one-bedroom apartment in Dubai.

The case needs to be filed during official working hours, on a subsequent working day (if the last day falls on an official holiday), in Dubai.
With Smart Police Stations operating 24/7, how are these situations considered?
Should the case be filed during working hours, say before 3 PM, etc.?

I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year.
However, the landlord did not send me back the signed contract, although I have both made the payment for the full year via bank transfer and sent my signed contract to him.
I need to renew my Ejari; however, how can I do it without the landlord's signature?
I have all the previous contracts signed by both parties, along with the Ejari for those contracts.
