Can the landlord send me an eviction notice for the reason of renovation?
Q: My eviction notice and tenancy contract will come to an end on 5 May 2024. The reason for eviction is "renovation". The landlord has not submitted any supporting documents to show that the property will be unlivable during the renovation or any approval from Dubai Municipality. I went to the Trustee Center in Al Manara and they said that I can`t open a case against the eviction until after the expiry, however, that doesn`t seem right. I need advice, please. Thank you

How to avoid overstay fines if the employer is delaying the employment visa process?
Q: My employer had started the labor process while I was overstaying on a visit visa. He gave me a labor card and labor contract. Now I have applied for overstay and absconding fine reduction.
