Who is responsible for the damages of a rented apartment due to water leaks?
Q: I have been renting an apartment for 1.5 years in Dubai. Recently, the kitchen ceiling leaked and the water has gone into the wooden cabinets and 3 of the cabinets have completely rotted from inside. All of our food in there is destroyed. Not only that, but the water from the leak mixed with the glue from the wooden cabinets and became brown and sticky. It is now all over the worktops and the floor and appliances in the kitchen. There are puddles of brown water on the floor. The entire kitchen is unusable. The main maintenance person first refused to visit the apartment to inspect the damage. He only came when we insisted and then told us we have to wait until next Thursday to get the work done. Meanwhile, we cannot use the kitchen, every day the water is spreading more and more and there are now flies everywhere (and the smell is terrible). Can I legally deduct the rent for the number of weeks we have been without a kitchen? I need to pay rent for the second half of the year in August. Questions & Answers

Q: Hello I have a lodged a labour case against my company and the court hearings are in the process.

But my visa is there. Now I want to know if my labour contract can be cancelled without my permission. The company gave me position redundancy as a reason as I was expensive overhead.

Will you get arrested in GCC if you leave the UAE with a pending loan?
Q: I got terminated from employment because I was arrested in 2015 and jailed for 30 days for purchasing alcohol without a police alcohol license for individuals. I had a credit card loan in the amount of AED 130,000 dirhams which I was paying on a monthly basis until I lost my job. After I was released from jail, my passport was held for 3 months with the Dewan. When I got my passport, I immediately left the UAE without paying the loan or canceling my visa. I keep getting threats via email from collection agents in Sharjah/Dubai for which I explained I have no means or any income or barely any income to pay not even 100 AED/ month. Now I have a job offer in Qatar and I am worried to go to Qatar for the first time in my life and start a new life and hopefully be able to start paying the 2015 debt left in Abu Dhabi with the Bank. The Debt is around 300,000 with interest + late fees +over credit limit fees + so many added fees + Etisalat around AED 270. Will I get arrested at Doha airport and extradited to the UAE?
