The renewal of a rental contract when one cheque is dishonored
Q: Hi, Our house rental contract has already expired 3 days ago. We intend to renew but the real estate company said that we need to first settle the 1 cheque we failed to pay AED15,200 (4 months ago). All other cheques before and after this "dishonored cheque" were good. Our house contract is in my name but the cheques given are in my mother`s. The real estate owner said they had filed a case in the police station and municipality. Questions: What does he mean by Municipality? Is it the RDC? Will both the cases be in my name or my mother`s? I`m just worried that if we won`t be able to renew the contract, we will be kicked out soon. Thank you so much for your kind help and assistance! Questions & Answers

The calculation of the EoSB in case of working for the same company in different countries
Q: I was working in France for a company and got transferred to the UAE with the same company. As part of the transfer process, I resigned from my French position and signed a new local contract for the new position. My employer issued a letter mentioning the resignation and the new position benefits as well as clearly mentioning that my employment with the company is continuous (ie. my start date with the company remains the same as my start date in France). I have now resigned from my UAE position and am in the middle of my notice period. I have discussed with my account department the details of the End of Service Gratuity and found that they do not consider the French start date but the UAE start date in their calculation. The letter as well as multiple company internal procedures clearly state that when an internal transfer happens, the start date with the Group remains. As I was forced to resign from my French contract, I have not taken any compensation for the years worked. Please advise! Questions & Answers
