Extending the tenancy contract for two months upon expiry
Q: My tenancy contract, drawn under the land department of Dubai, expires on 24th of November. I wish to extend it for 2 months. The landlord says we can only renew for a year but is open to options as long as they are legal. Is it true that I cannot make a new contract with my landlord for 2 months? If I am forced to make a new contract for a year, can I have the `premature termination penalty` clause removed? (So I can give 2 months notice as soon as I enter into the contract and not have to pay a penalty).

Effect of the non-competition clause in labour contracts
Q: Sir, I am working as an engineer in an electromechanical company. It is said in my offer letter that if I leave the company before my contract period of 2 years then I can`t join any other similar firm (electromechanical) within the next 1 year. Is this legally accepted by the UAE law or do I have a choice to join a similar firm? What is the amount to be given to the company if I leave before my contract period as per the labour law?

Criminal case and travel ban for defaulting on bank payments
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I currently have a lot of debts piling up. I was making payments on time for months. But for the last 3-6 months` Salary has been delayed in arriving in my account. When it does arrive it is not the full amount its less than 50%. This problem has led to me missing payments. Delay in payments and paying further interest rates. But now I`m at my limit and I don`t think I will be able to make the payments or get back on track unless I get all the money that is owed to me. I have highlighted my problem to the company but they have ignored my points and stated they are going through a bit of trouble. I tried looking for another job but the market is bad. I`m now getting emails from banks about security cheque deposits and travel ban. If I do get a travel ban and the cheque bounces, what happens? Can I still work to make payments or is that the judge`s call? Please adviseOct 31, 2018

Inspection of criminal record and arrest warrant
Q: I left the UAE in September 2014 but I think there is a potential that I may have an outstanding arrest warrant. I have only copies of expired passport, visa and Emirates ID from that time but nothing new as I am not in the country, therefore never renewed the Emirates ID or visa. What documents do you need to check if a warrant exists? How long do these warrants last for? Would a 2014 warrant still be valid in 2018 or next year?
