Dear sir!
> Kindly askingyour help. Im Aida from Kyrgyzstan . For the moment Im working in UAE Dubai in MAF FAshion Majid Al Futtaim group. Everybody who is working in this comapny has to give passport to them, but I think and I know that its personal and private document which should be holeded by owner only. Im working as a sales assistant may be thats why they are acting so agressive and trying to make scary by cutting from salary some amount and calling. I really dont want to give my id because its very diffucult to take it back even for vacation we should wait more than 1 month.As they tald me I can go wherewever to police to court labour office but nobody can do nothing. I dont believe that is like that and want to know my rights .

Hi can you help me with this question?
My Landlord increased my rent in Jan 2009 by 20%, now I have received a notice stating that because my rent is 70% below the RERA rent cape he intends to increase my rent again by 20% in Jan 2010 can he do this because I read somewhere that you can only increase rent every two years.
Thank you in advance for your help
Peter
