Abu Dhabi Tawtheeq cancellation of tenancy due to faulty AC
Q: I would like to cancel my tenancy contract which is valid until 30 Jan 2021 without any notice as the central AC of the building is damaged and the room temperature inside my apartment is over 33 degrees C. It has been like this for over 2 months. Some days the humidity is over 70%. Other flats in the building have a fixed temp of 25 degrees C but the AC controls don`t work for anyone. A team did temp repair after rigorous office visits but these works last for less than 1 week only. The advance of my annual rent has been paid until 30 September 2020 and the next/ last cheque is due on 01 October. Contract expiry is 30 Jan 2021. The real estate company is neither willing to repair nor willing to refund my advance paid as well return the cheque which is due in October and has never responded to my phone and several emails sent. I have several emails sent about this problem (in the English Language). What are my options? What proof would be required?

Opening an execution file by the ex-wife for non-payment of outstanding dues
Q: My ex-wife had opened an execution file against me last year for non-payment of outstanding dues. I am now in the process of paying off the total outstanding balance. I would like to know: 1- Once the balance is cleared, is the execution file closed forever or can be re-opened? (assuming nothing in the divorce judgment is violated). 2- Can she reopen the execution file at a later stage to financially harass me; disputing something in the execution file not being calculated correctly? 3) Can the execution judge force a settlement if she is not being cooperative? 4) What are my options if she refuses to give me her passport for canceling her visa and force me to sponsor her? 5) She is unemployed and custodian of our daughter, I am financially supporting our child. If she decides to leave Dubai claiming that she will move abroad to her family for a better future of the kid (5 years old), is it possible even if I do not agree (as I won`t be able to bond with her)? Thanks!
