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.

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!
