Is my controlling husband's secret tracking of my car legal?
Q: Salam Alaykum, My husband is very controlling. For instance, he refuses to transfer a SIM card from his name to mine. He takes pictures of my friends` cars when someone visits me and even spies on my child`s tutor (a lady). There are many other situations I won’t mention now. Recently, I discovered that he secretly added a tracking device to my car. Alhamdulillah, I have nothing to hide, but I want to know if he is allowed to do that. Is it legal? Kind Regards,+3

Can I file a case against the landlord for serving me an eviction notice not through Dubai Courts?
Q: Hello Team, I`m contemplating submitting a formal complaint to the RDC against my former landlord, who evicted me on the grounds of personal use of the property. I have enough evidence to proceed with the case, but I`m uncertain about one aspect that might be questioned by the Dubai Courts. I received an email and a signed paper notice of eviction, but I did not receive an official eviction notice via the Dubai Courts system. Would this be considered valid if I file a complaint seeking compensation? Thank you in advance!

How to handle a rental dispute over a 20% rent increase upon non-renewal of EJARI?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, We have a rental dispute with our office landlord. Our EJARI expired on October 19, 2024, and we intended to vacate. However, the landlord insisted on a 2-month notice, even though we had not requested a renewal after the EJARI expired. We agreed to provide an additional 2-month notice, but he demanded a 20% increase as per the RERA index. We refused, as we did not wish to renew the EJARI. Instead, we offered to pay and vacate, but he filed an eviction case with RERA. We are seeking advice on this matter.Jan 15, 2025

I have a cases and travel ban for loans and credit cards. Can I pay the fine and clear them?
Q: I had 10 loans in 2010 from various banks and credit cards and left the country due to job loss. 2 of those banks no longer exist today, and 3 of the banks have put a case and travel ban on me. Now I spoke to a lawyer and he said they can clear the 3 cases by paying a fine/fees. Will the bank still chase me for the remaining debt after this clearance process? I plan to return to the UAE to work on a new job. What about the remaining 5 banks that have not filed a case for personal loans/credit cards? And what about the 2 banks that closed (for example [----])? Thank you
