How to prove paying the rent and vacating property against a claim by the landlord?
Q: Hi there, We were staying on a monthly rent basis in one small apartment which was vacated on 31 Jan 2021. We paid all rents but unfortunately, we don`t have any proof for Nov, Dec and Jan. Now the landlord has filed a case against us saying we are staying at the property and not paying them. Before leaving, we informed them through my email (which is not registered in the records) and cc my husband. We didn`t know that the paper we are signing was a sub-agreement as we never saw a contract before. Now based on this, they have filed a case and fine and rent is levied on us now if the case number is generated. We have a hearing for settlement but the landlord is not agreeing to settle as he is asking us to sign a key form saying we vacated just now on the current date. We need to travel urgently. Will we have a travel ban? We want to resolve the case even if we travel. Please advise Questions & Answers

Can the tenant hold the rent if the landlord failed to fix the AC?
Q: Greetings, A brief about the rental dispute that we have with our office bldg owner: So our office landlord has recently filed a legal case with the Rental Disputes Center against our company. They are demanding us to pay the unpaid rent from March 2020 onwards. We felt it would be unfair for us to continue paying since we have been suffering from a frustrating AC issue since July 2019, and this particular issue has been from the building’s central unit apparently, During the past 2 years of having this issue, we contacted the landlord and his team so many times and asked them to resolve the matter, but these guys didn’t really take any proper steps to resolve the issue. Please note below the clause mentioned in the contract between us & the landlord: "Lessor shall keep the premises in a good state of repair and fit for habitation." Kindly let us have your professional legal advice so that we consider using your services, Thanks, H. M. Questions & Answers

How to sue a dentist for failing to fix teeth after five year in braces?
Q: I had my braces from a dental clinic in 2016. My teeth had a slanted angle back then. The treatment lasted for 5 years, but then the X-ray showed that the roots of my teeth were shortened and the dentist said we have to stop the treatment and remove the braces because of the risk of losing my teeth. I was very dissatisfied with what happened. I asked what caused the shortening of roots and he did not give me a definite answer. He said probably because I’ve had braces for too long. So to cut the story short, they removed my braces this June. After 5 years, the angle of my tooth is still bad and slanted. I don’t know what to do. I’m not sure if this is a reasonable post. But the fact that it took so long for them to fix my teeth and in the end, they were only able to correct the bite. Questions & Answers

Is it possible to resign with immediate effect in case of forced salary reduction?
Q: Good day, I just want to ask what can I do to legally resign immediately from my company. Because of Covid, our company is deducting 25% on our salary and hours of work. But they didn`t notify me of that deduction. I was just shocked that my salary is deducted. I have 1 year of service with them but until now they didn`t give a full salary since my 1st day of work. Now It is hard for me to budget my salary for 1 month. I only have AED 2000 salary per month and it has a 25% deduction so the total is only AED 1500. My position in the company is IT Specialist, but my profession in my residence visa is a laborer. My question is, how can I resign to them immediately without getting a labor ban or giving a notice period? Or can I get my deducted salary for 1 year and pay it for my immediate resignation in the company? Questions & Answers
