Forcing more payments after clearing a bounced rental cheque
Assalamu Alaikum
Dear Ma'am.
I was charged in a cheque bounce case in October 2018, due to a failure of the rent payment through cheque. The cheque amount was AED 14000.
I was summoned only once by the court and was given a fixed time to pay the dues and vacate the house. I have paid all the due rent (Approx AED 17000) last week.
The real estate agency's lawyer is not closing my case, forcing to pay first case amount and some overstayed rent.
Today he said: you have only one-day time to pay court charges and case fees, and overstayed rent, otherwise tomorrow Baladiya will come and throw you out. Is it possible?
Please give me guidance as to when my case will be closed. What is the rule of Baladiya in this case? And is it connected to the renewal of tenancy? Can I renew my Tenancy contract or not?
Please, Can you reply to me now?
I am worried.
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.
Please note that you are liable to pay the amount mentioned by the court in its order/judgement.
Do not pay attention to what the company lawyer says. At the end of the day, your money should be deposited in the court and not with the company lawyer.
If you do not pay to the court, then there are chances you may be forcefully evicted or expose yourself to greater liability.
Please email me your judgement copy on hari.wadhwana@gmail.com in order to enable me to advise properly.
You can get in touch with me on 052-9495731.
Regards,
Hari Wadhwana
