Is it possible to settle credit card debts after losing job and leaving the UAE?
Q: Hi, I was laid off in June 2020 during COVID19 and had credit cards in several banks. I had to leave the country but was still paying the banks up until September 2021. So I was getting calls from the bank, and the last one was maybe in December 2021. A new law came into effect this January, so the cheque bounce was decriminalized but the civil case is still there and a new option of some kind of execution is also there now. I don`t know if I got any cheque bounce, do I get a notification on my email or SMS on my mobile? (My mobile is still active and I am outside of Dubai since then). Also, want to ask- under the new rule does the execution smth can lead to imprisonment and/or a travel ban? And if yes then for how long? Will I be able to come to Dubai and find a job if the execution case is there? Thank you Questions & Answers

Right of tenant to refuse rent increase after serving a legal notice
Q: When there were more than 90 days, I sent an email to the tenant that I want to increase the rent which was higher than what was mentioned in the rental index. The tenant replied to me saying they don`t want to renew the rental contract. Now when there is less than a month left in contract expiration, I got an email from them that the contract will renew at the same rate. Can the tenants change their minds even after giving notice to not renew the rental contract? Additionally, I got a rental appraisal certificate and it shows the rental is 13% more than the amount of current rental value. So can I increase rent to the amount mentioned in the certificate or I can increase only 5%? Questions & Answers
