Will I be deported if I go to an immigration center with an absconding status?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I was on a visiting visa in Abu Dhabi. I overstayed and absconded from the travel agency. I now have a job offer. They said they would offer me a job if I cleared my absconding status. I paid my travel agency to remove my absconding status, but yesterday, they texted me screenshots showing that the application was returned. They said that I now need to go to SWEIHAN myself. I am afraid that I will be deported. Can anyone please guide me on this issue? I also have a PDF from the travel agency that shows the departure date as 30/12/2023. The reason written there is "CHANGE STATUS".Sep 5, 2023

Can I send an eviction notice to the tenant immediately after purchasing a property?
Q: Dear All, I`m in the process of purchasing a property in Dubai, which is currently rented. The rent expires on 29th Feb 2024. I`m hoping to serve a notice as soon as the property is transferred into our name. Assuming we complete a transfer on 30th October, can we issue a notice immediately with the intention that it will be vacated on 30th Oct 2024? Are there any options to evict the tenant earlier and move in ASAP? We are planning to live in the property, as this would be our main family home.

Can the landlord send me an eviction notice just to rent the property for a higher price?
Q: Greetings, I`ve been renting the property I`m living at for one year now. The contract was renewed and we agreed on an increase a bit beyond the 5% specified in the contract. 3 weeks before renewing, I was contacted by a real estate agent "coordinating the contract renewal". I found out later that this agent offered another tenant who would pay about 20k more for renting the property. But my landlord couldn`t just kick me out because we already agreed on renewing and he has to give me a 1-year notice. We renewed the contract and signed it, and 2 weeks later, I received an eviction notice on my email. When I asked my landlord about it, he said "I need the property to be vacated so that I can live in it". He has about 12 properties he rents, and out of the blue now he wants to live in this specific one where this "agent" is offering tenants a higher rent. Is it even legal to give an eviction notice so that he can charge higher rent? What can I do now?Sep 1, 2023
