Eviction of the tenant after providing bounced cheques for rent
Q: I am a property owner in Dubai. A tenant has been living in my property from 2016 until Sept 2020. This year, due to the concessions by Dubai government, the tenant started excuses saying he won`t pay his rental commitment & has bounced two of his rental cheques. During the eviction process, I came to know that there is also a Trakhees violation by the tenant in 2017 due to overcrowding for which I have taken a guarantee cheque & deposited in the bank which has bounced, as usual. The tenant claims there is no way he can be apprehended, thanks to the UAE/Dubai govt leniency towards the cheque bounce defaulters, & neither will he pay the amount. Please advise as I wish to file a case against him & also I am not a resident in the UAE. Questions & Answers
