Call from Farook
The law in Dubai is not well known, certainly not by me. Only Arabic versions are legally recognized, not the English translations with which I am familiar.
Apparently, however, buildings zoned as residences may only be occupied by people holding a residence visa. People with tourist visas should stay in hotels.
So Farook, who holds a valid residence visa, leases apartments (at apartment rates) and sub-leases (at hotel rates) to people whose occupations do not qualify for a residence visa.
From time to time, the Dubai police sweep the residences and arrest those living there with tourist visas. Sometimes, they also arrest those who illegally leased them their apartments. Fortunately, Farook has a friend inside the police who tips him off before a raid, and Farook has just been tipped off that a raid will be conducted sometime week after next.
So this morning he called to ask me how to word an eviction notice to all his (non-Arabic speaking) sub-tenants, stating that they must vacate after six days.
After the raid, he will invite them all back, and most will gratefully accept.
Farook has a very good tipster inside the police. He has been accurately forewarned about all 30 of the last two raids.

haha...poor guy.
Isn't this the same guy who had you hunted through an industrial area?

Farook has a variety of investments for sale. They will soon be collecting Dh 4 from everyone who crosses the Garhoud Bridge, and Farook can sell you shares.
