Application of the eviction notice served to the tenant before the contract renewal

Q: Hello, I served my tenant an eviction notice on 5 Dec 2021 to leave the property. His tenancy contract was to be renewed on 5 Jan 2022 and I renewed it for the period of 5 Jan 2022 to 6 December 2022. So is it fine as I am giving him 12 months to evict the property (notice on 5 December 2021)? Or do I need to make it 5 January 2021 to 5 January 2022?

My lawyer is not dealing with my bounced cheque case. what can I do?

Q: Hi all, I recently engaged a law firm in the UAE to help clear some cases against being due to bounced cheques. The firm did not provide any formal quote or letter of engagement and the service, including cost, was discussed via emails. The firm`s response to a request for a quote or letter of engagement was that their internal policy is such that does not provide such correspondence. I was asked to pay the full fees upfront which I did. Prior to and since the engagement began, I have been liaising with a business development person at this firm and I have requested multiple times to speak to the lawyer assigned to my cases. The response I get is a short single-line answer dismissing the request. I have also been asking for an update in terms of progress so far and received responses to the effect "lawyers are working on it". There is no specific update provided in terms of actions, submissions to authorities, or any other matter. Does this approach appear reasonable by a law firm in the UAE?

فصل العامل وتزوير توقيعه على أوراق إلغاء بطاقة العمل

س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله، أعمل في فندق بأبو ظبي، وبسبب مشاكل صغيرة تلقيت من المدير ورقة الفصل من العمل. لم أوقع وفي اليوم التالي عندما كنت في الدوام، أحضر لي المدير بعض أفراده ممن يشتغلون في الشرطة لكي أخاف وأوقع على الورقة ولم أوقع لمدة ٣ أيام متتابعة يحضرون لي الشرطة ولا أوقع. بعد ذلك طلب المدير من حراس الأمن منعي من دخول الفندق. لم أستلم رواتب ولا أي شيء منذ شهر ١٢، كنت أذهب إلى الشغل ويجبروني على الرجوع ويطردونني ويقولون لي سوف نلغي إقامتك حين يفتح الطيران إلى بلدك. بعد ٣ أشهر أو أكثر من العذاب مرضت فيها، تفاجأت أنهم ألغوا بطاقة العمل من طرف الشركة ووقَّع المدير في مكاني ولم أستلم رواتبي. مع العلم أنني كنت أذهب يوميا إلى الفندق وهم يطردونني وكنت أدخل أوقّع مقابل بعض الكاميرات. عندما عرفت أنهم ألغوا بطاقة العمل، ذهبت إلى المدير ولم أخبره أنني أعرف كل شيء. تحايلت عليه وإذا به يعطيني أوراق الإلغاء لكي أمضيها. جميع الأوراق مستندات إلغاء حقيقية وتحمل توقيعه بتاريخ هذا الشهر. أخذت الملف ورحلت وهو معي. ماذا أفعل في هذه الحالة لآخذ حقي؟

How to get money back from a fraudulent immigration company?

Q: Dear Lawyer, I worked in Dubai as a materials coordinator in the Jebel Ali Freezone in an oil company for four years. During my work period, I applied for a Polish work permit through an immigration consultant situated in Deira Dubai. I paid my hard-earned money, DHS 3500, for them on April 2021. They promised me to hand over the Polish work permit within 6 months. Now one year has already been completed. They cheated on me for my hard-earned money. I kindly request from all of you to take necessary actions against this fraudulent immigration company before they cheat innocent people like us. As an innocent person, I kindly request you to force this fraud immigration consultant to hand over my hard-earned money. I am waiting for your valuable response to this very sensitive case. Thanks & Regards,

What to do with the bank if they accept to settle only with the entire loan?

Q: Hi, Firstly, thank you for this service. Let me briefly describe my situation. Been in Dubai for a long time. Lost my job recently and frantically applying for a new one. Currently on garden leave until June, so only 2 more salary payments are pending. I have a loan for AED 950k and an outstanding mortgage of 900k (the value of the property is 2m AED. Afraid that after June I will not keep up with payments on the loan for sure which are 33k per month. Willing to settle since I have access to some funds but the bank only wants to settle on the full amount with all 5-year interest payments added. I have access through the family of approx. AED 500k to use for settlement. The loan was for 5 years and paid without any defaults for 26 months. I have no savings at this time but in the coming June, I will most likely default. Any advice would be appreciated. God bless.
