Can you vacate tenants when you purchase a rented property?
Q: I am about to purchase a property. It was rented to an Emirati couple until 28-12-2021 (as mentioned on the agreement). We are all set for transfer and I was looking forward to staying there. Now I was told by the agent that the seller hadn`t given notice period to the tenant and had to extend their tenancy contract. Would like to know what are my rights? Looking for your guidance. Thanking you. Kind regards. Questions & Answers

How to recover the amount of bounced cheques under the new law?
Q: Hi, I have a cheque bounce from a person who owes me 63,000 AED. They are two cheques; one for 43,000 and another for 20,000 have bounced. How can I recover my money? The person continues to ask for more time but it has been 4 months now and I no longer trust him. Please let me know the timelines, also whether a travel ban will be imposed on him with the recent change in the law (decriminalization of cheque bounce). Also how much court fees will need to be paid with the new law (with direct execution) and is it recovered from the other party? Looking for urgent help on this, please! Questions & Answers

How can I make sure whether a job offer is genuine or scam in Dubai?
Q: Hi, I received a job offer in Dubai as an electrical/instrumentation supervisor but I`m just a bit confused for two reasons: 1) The starting monthly salary is AED 93,500.00 plus other benefits of AED 12,000.00 2) The company asked me to pay for the visa and for the work permit in the UAE (the site seems original and genuine..). The sum would be repaid at the beginning of the work in Dubai. This is strange because I have never advanced money for a visa in my passport and for a work permit when I worked abroad out of Italy I suppose this is a fake job offer. Thanks and regards G.
