A tenant does not pay rent and sublets the property. How can I evict him?
Q: Greetings, I have a tenant who has not paid his rent for over 1 year. He promises to pay but nothing happens and his checks bounce every time. I have also received warnings from building management that he is subletting the apartment without my knowledge or approval. He has promised to move out, but he hasn`t done that either. What can I do the fastest to get him out of the premises? I live in Sweden so I have a property manager but he has also stopped answering my messages and phone calls since 2 months ago. Thank you in advance!

Is it necessary to cancel the work permit to obtain a golden visa?
Q: Hello, I received the initial approval for a golden visa from GDRFA and was advised to cancel my current employment visa to proceed with finalizing the new golden visa.

Non-compete clause in offer letter, absent in contract. Is it applicable?
Q: Hi. I have recently joined an organisation in the UAE. They have shared with me an offer letter on their company letterhead which prohibits me from joining the competitors for six months after leaving. Later, they shared the MOHRE Job Offer Letter which does not have a non-compete clause. Both the letters I had signed. I was told they would share the labour contract but they didn`t; instead, they copied my signature from the Job Offer Letter to the Labour Contract without my knowledge. The labour contract also does not have a non-compete clause. Now I need to know whether the clause applies to me or not if I join another organisation.Dec 26, 2023
