Does my new sponsor need to compensate my ex-employer?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I resigned from my company during my probation period at Hamriyah Free Zone Sharjah. I gave my company 30 days` notice in writing via official email. After 21 days of my notice period, my employer verbally told me to discontinue working and that handing over was enough. I immediately sent an email to my employer to confirm what they had advised me. After 3 days of discontinuing work, my employer sent me an email stating that my resignation was not accepted because there was no valid reason for resigning. My employer has not canceled my visa even though one month has passed. I have already filed a case in court and the hearing is on October 23 (which is one month after the end of my probation period, if it is 6 months long). What can I expect now? If my employer cancels my visa after the court hearing, does my new sponsor need to compensate my ex-employer?

However, I received an email on October 6, 2023, saying that I have to complete a 3-month notice period. My boss only agreed to cancel my visa verbally, and I don`t have any written proof.

Can a RERA certificate allow a landlord to increase rent arbitrarily?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Advice on rent rules: Can a RERA rental valuation certificate allow a landlord to increase rent arbitrarily? I received an email from my landlord saying they have taken out a RERA rental valuation certificate which legally allows them to increase the rent to that particular number, which is substantially higher than my current rent. My question is, is this allowed? My current rent was already increased by 10% last year, and now the landlord wants to increase it this year, so over two years, it is a 35% increase. What are my options here? Any advice would be helpful!Oct 9, 2023
