Can I refuse to leave the apartment after the eviction notice if the landlord shows no intention to sell?
Q: I am reposting the question as maybe I was not clear the first time. I am a tenant in an apartment in Dubai. I stayed in the apartment for a long time. I received a valid 12-month notice from the landlord to vacate the property because they want to sell it. However, 9 months have passed since and the landlord has shown no intention of selling. I asked them about it and they said they intend to renovate it first before selling it. As I do not want to move out, can I dispute this at the RDC in any way? Meaning, do I have any basis for dispute?

How can I clear my loan and access funds if my account is frozen upon resignation?
Q: Hi, I am currently working in the UAE and have a remaining loan with my bank. I am now out of the country and plan to resign. My final gratuity is higher than my remaining loan. Since the bank will automatically freeze my account after receiving my final settlement, my question is: How can I clear my remaining loan and retrieve the remaining money while I am already out of the UAE? Thank you for your answer!

Will I be arrested in my country if I paid the first installment for a bank loan settlement in the UAE then stopped?
Q: Hello Legal Advice, I had a loan amount of AED 240K and after paying some installments, the amount came down to AED 170K. I got laid off from my job in the UAE due to company acquisitions, and now I am jobless in India. After discussions with my bank, they sent a settlement letter for AED 150K and I paid AED 25K as a downpayment by selling gold and borrowing money from my friends. Now I cannot pay the remaining amount because of being jobless and I am the sole breadwinner. My query is will there be any legal problem if I don`t pay the remaining amount after signing the settlement letter? Will case execution be implemented in India also? Will I be arrested in India or will they do anything legally to me in India? Looking forward to your valuable response. Regards S.

A civil case for a bounced cheque that I did not sign was filed against me by the bank. What to do?
Q: I require legal advice regarding a case related to a cheque bounce. In 2023, a civil case was filed against me due to a bounced cheque. This morning, I submitted a request to the court to convert the case into easy installments, even though I did not have the case documents, as I owed a limit of AED 15,000 on my credit card. When I logged into the MOJ website to check the judgment details, I discovered that the case involved two bounced cheques, each for AED 10,800, which I did not sign. In 2014, when I applied for an auto loan, I received a credit card with a limit of AED 15,000, and I signed a guarantee cheque for that amount. However, I am confused as to how the two cheques for AED 10,800 each were issued. The signatures on both cheques, which amount to AED 10,800 each, are completely different from my actual signature, with each having a different pattern. Who is responsible for this? I would appreciate your guidance on this matter from a legal perspective.+1
