UAE Legal Q&As: Noisy Neighbours are Disturbing my Baby’s Sleep
Q: My neighbours in the next villa are making lots of noise that is disturbing my baby’s sleep and that of my elderly mother. What can I do?
A: Always, before taking any further action, I would suggest simply talking to them in a friendly manner and explain the situation. However, if they do not listen and continue to make unbearable noise, you can go the police and report them for causing a disturbance. Police will then talk to them and request that they keep the noise down. If still there is no change, you can call police again and they will have your neighbours sign and undertaking that, if they continue with the disturbing noise, you can take them to court. The court has the power to prosecute them for causing a disturbance and your neighbours would be fined, if found guilty on the evidence that you can provide.
Q: I am a Pakistani who was born and raised in Ras Al Khaimah. In 2011, I was jailed for three months following a forged document case and was then deported. I would like to know if I could go to perform Haj in Saudi Arabia even though I’ve been deported from a GCC country? Also, would I be able to get a job in a GCC country other than the UAE?
A: Despite having close cordial ties and agreements with other Gulf Cooperation Council countries, the UAE, and each of the six countries, each have their own internal policy and law and three is no legal reason that would prevent you from visiting any of the other GCC countries, just because you were convicted in a criminal case in the UAE. You should be free to travel to any of the other GCC countries, whether for tourism, religious reasons or for work.
