Can the bank file a case for bounced cheque after six years?
Q: Hi! I have a bounced cheque in 2016 however, the bank has not filed a case against me. I am not sure why though, as I have checked with the police station and they said that my record is clear. Recently, I have been receiving calls from a debt collection agent and he is threatening me that a case will be filed immediately if I don’t agree to settle. My question is, can they still file the case even though it has been 6 years since my cheque has bounced? Hope someone can answer, please. Thank you. Questions & Answers

The settlement of a bounced cheque case and removing a travel ban
Q: Dear sir/madam, I have 3 checks amounting to 13980.00 AED bounced by my real estate but under a single case reference number. There is a cheque bounce case since 2020 before the new law. The discussions with the third party were unsuccessful. My concern is: 1. How much should I pay to remove my travel ban? 2. Will they collect my passport when I am paying? 3. Should I go to the police station in-person or someone can do it for me? 4. Will there be an arrest? The cheque was from my SAIF zone company account and when it bounced, I closed the account. So the check bounce was on the grounds of a closed account. Questions & Answers

How long can the tenant stay in the property if the landlord sold it?
Q: Dear lawyer, I am a tenant in Dubai, seeking advice about the following situation: The current 1-year lease terminates on 22/09/2022 (in 78 days). As the tenant, I want to renew the lease and the landlord knows it. The landlord would like to sell the flat, however, she is still uncertain as no buyer has been found. No official eviction notice has been ever sent, only random WhatsApp messages that invite me to wait so that more potential buyers can come to see the flat. For obvious reasons, I am not willing to wait until the last minute to know if the lease can be renewed - and the real estate agent (appointed by the landlord) is pressing to bring more viewers. Considering the points above: 1- Can I "force" the landlord to extend the lease now? 2- If the landlord sells the propriety prior to the end date, will I be forced to move out on the end date (without any notice)? Thank you in advance Questions & Answers
