How can I claim my unpaid salaries if my visa is about to expire and the employer did not pay?
Q: My company has held almost 5 to 6 months of my salary. On 16 May, my contract expired and the company refused to pay me my salary. I asked them for an update as I didn`t travel to work due to lack of funds. There was no reply for 2 days and on the 3rd day, I decided to resign. They accepted my resignation after 2 days. The next day, I completed my handover process and since then I have been following up with them by visiting the company and by email. They have not provided me with the final settlement details yet with all this happening while I am in my grace period. I filed a complaint with the Ministry of Labor. The Ministry representative contacted the finance manager and they told him that the owner was out of the country. Once my grace period is over, who will pay the overstaying charges? I have not signed the cancellation and I have to stay back so that I can get all my pending salaries and EOS. Please help

Can I claim all the cheques, even though some will cover the amount owed?

Can I claim all the cheques? Will I face legal issues from them?

Is a rent increase notice sent by the previous property management still valid?
Q: Good afternoon, I have a Real Estate property management license in Dubai. I recently entered into a management agreement with a landlord of a fully occupied building. Now, I am dealing with a situation where I can`t send rent increase notices 90 days prior because my company was not managing the building 90 days ago. If the previous real estate company did send these formal notices, can we consider those valid for us as well? In the worst case, where we cannot reach an agreement with the tenant and open a lawsuit in RDC, can we present the notices that were not made by us but were still made in compliance with the laws? As per RERA and UAE laws, can these formal notices for rental increases be sent via email to the tenant`s registered email address? Or must it be a notarized rental increase notice from a notary public for the judge to approve the rental increase?
