Build one Dubai RDC File an Execution — Cheques pack: Ejari, identity, IBAN proof, cheque copy, bank return memo, Arabic-ready — then stop.
Rental operations notes from the IziRento team. Not legal advice.
Key takeaways
For a returned Dubai rent cheque, the RDC pack is File an Execution — Cheques: recent Ejari, the correct identity set, claimant IBAN proof, a legible dishonoured-cheque copy, and the bank-issued return memo, ready in Arabic or with a legal Arabic translation for portal upload. It is not judgment execution, a writ of payment, an unpaid-rent demand, a rebuilt cheque register, or a twelve-month eviction notice. Assemble for this tenancy, store it, and stop.
After a Dubai rent cheque comes back unpaid, the file for this tenancy is the RDC File an Execution — Cheques pack: recent Ejari, identity, claimant IBAN proof, a legible cheque copy, and the bank-issued return memo, in Arabic or legally translated for upload. A WhatsApp photo plus a chat promise is not that pack. Gather the papers for this unit and this returned cheque, then stop before portal filing steps, fee payment, or an execution-judge walkthrough.

Name File an Execution — Cheques before you gather papers
The Rental Disputes Center (RDC) service that enforces dishonoured cheques so amounts can be collected is File an Execution — Cheques. Neighbouring RDC services publish different required lists, and other landlord jobs after a bounce use different papers entirely.
This pack is not Register an Execution Proceeding — Rental (enforcement writ with stamp after a judgment). It is not Register a Writ of Payment (notice-to-pay and indemnity-style list). It is not a first-instance rental claim. It is not the written unpaid-rent demand with notary or registered-mail proof, not a rebuilt post-dated cheque schedule, and not an Article 25 twelve-month recovery notice. Leave those paths aside. The job here is one upload-ready cheque-execution pack for this returned rent cheque and this Ejari tenancy.
Three RDC services, three different lists
Without naming which RDC service you need, a bounce folder collects every paper anyone mentioned online. Separate the three services first so the inventory below is not treated as a generic bounce pile.
File an Execution — Cheques
- Enforce a dishonoured cheque to collect its amount — the pack built below.
- Recent Ejari; identity; claimant IBAN letter or statement; cheque copy; bank return memo; two conditional receipts only when they apply.
Register an Execution Proceeding — Rental
- Enforce after a rental judgment — not the first response to a returned rent cheque alone.
- Enforcement writ with enforcement stamp; optional IBAN update — judgment execution, not this cheque list.
Register a Writ of Payment
- A notice-to-pay style path with its own claim papers — a different service.
- Proof of a sum due, domicile, notice obliging payment, acknowledgement, indemnity, identity or licence, IBAN letter, return memo, and supporting documents — not the cheque-execution checklist.
Neighbour pages: Register an Execution Proceeding — Rental and Register a Writ of Payment. Use them only to confirm you are not building the wrong pack.
The cheque-execution document inventory
The table follows documents named on the live File an Execution — Cheques page, with Arabic or legal Arabic readiness marked. It is not a fee or day grid. The two receipt rows apply only when they apply. Do not add title deeds, DEWA bills, or chat exports as if this service listed them.
File an Execution — Cheques: papers for this pack
| Document | What to file | Arabic readiness |
|---|---|---|
| Recent Ejari lease | Recent Ejari (Dubai tenancy registration) copy for this unit — not a first registration walkthrough | Arabic or legal Arabic translation |
| Identity — individual | Emirates ID copy | Arabic or legal Arabic translation |
| Identity — company | Commercial licence plus photo ID of manager or owner | Arabic or legal Arabic translation |
| Claimant IBAN proof | Bank letter or statement with claimant IBAN; name aligned to claimant | Arabic or legal Arabic translation |
| Dishonoured cheque copy | Legible copy of the returned rent cheque for this instalment | Arabic or legal Arabic translation |
| Bank-issued return memo | Bank return memo — not a chat screenshot that says the cheque bounced | Arabic or legal Arabic translation |
| Appeal-deposit receipt (if applicable) | Receipt for any amount deposited on appeal — only when it applies | Arabic or legal Arabic translation |
| Offer and Deposit receipt (if applicable) | Offer and Deposit receipt if the request relates to renewing the tenancy — only when it applies | Arabic or legal Arabic translation |
Service terms on that page: every document in Arabic or legally translated into Arabic; upload on www.rdc.gov.ae by the system sections; hard copies are not entertained. Prefer full legible scans over cropped phone shots.
Gather order once the inventory is clear
These steps are the assemble order after you can see which papers belong — not account creation, trustee queues, fee payment, or post-notification e-requests. For how an Ejari pack is built at registration time, see the Ejari registration documents checklist; here you only need a recent copy already tied to this tenancy.
Do: file the bank-issued return memo beside a legible dishonoured-cheque copy. Don’t: treat a WhatsApp photo or a chat line that says “returned” as the memo the RDC list names.
Assemble the pack for this tenancy
Confirm this is the cheque-execution pack
A rent cheque for this Dubai tenancy was returned. Stop if the job is an unpaid-rent demand with notary or registered-mail proof, a full post-dated cheque schedule rebuild, a twelve-month notice for own use, sale, or works, or judgment-writ enforcement (Register an Execution Proceeding — Rental).
Match the returned cheque to the existing tenancy row
Name the unit and contract as on Ejari. Point at the existing cheque row for that instalment — do not rebuild the schedule. Keep the cheque copy that shows the face details the bank returned.
File the bank return memo with the cheque copy
Obtain the bank-issued return memo and place it beside the legible cheque copy. That pair is what the RDC list names.
Add claimant IBAN proof
Gather a bank letter or statement with the claimant’s IBAN for execution. Keep the name aligned with the claimant on the RDC file.
Add Ejari and the correct identity set
Recent Ejari lease copy. Individual: Emirates ID. Company: commercial licence plus manager or owner photo ID. Add appeal-deposit or Offer-and-Deposit renewal receipts only when they apply.
Prepare Arabic upload readiness
Every document in Arabic or with a legal Arabic translation. Plan portal upload by system sections. Do not rely on hard-copy drop-off.
Store the pack with the tenancy and stop
Keep the set with this tenancy. Optional: store it in an IziRento workspace — the product holds the file; it does not file at RDC, translate, or pay fees. Before any real filing, re-check the live File an Execution — Cheques page for the current required list.
Boundaries once the pack exists
When the folder holds the papers above, assembling this pack is done. The note below keeps fees, day counts, eviction, and police talk out of this pack — it is not a second gather list.
No fee or day-count figures in this pack article
Do not invent or print a filing fee, VAT add-on, or registration-day count here. Before any real filing, re-check the live RDC File an Execution — Cheques page for the current required list and any fee or timing text published there. A bounced rent cheque is evidence of non-payment for a separate possession path; it is not automatic eviction. Federal Decree-Law No. 50 of 2022 Article 667 treats a cheque marked for no or insufficient balance as an executive instrument toward forced execution under the Civil Procedures Law — a civil boundary only, not a police case file.
Prefer current Article 667 numbering over older labels in the CBUAE cheques FAQ — context only, not the RDC upload checklist.
Stop when this tenancy holds an upload-ready File an Execution — Cheques pack: recent Ejari, identity, claimant IBAN proof, legible cheque copy, bank return memo, any apply-only receipts, and Arabic readiness for portal upload — no hard-copy plan. Re-check the live RDC page before any real filing; do not invent a fee or day count. Do not continue into the unpaid-rent demand, a rebuilt PDC register, or a twelve-month eviction notice. IziRento can store the pack; it does not file at RDC, translate, or pay fees.
To keep the papers on the tenancy record instead of in a chat, open an IziRento workspace.
FAQ
Is a bounce notice mandatory before this RDC cheque-execution pack?
The File an Execution — Cheques list does not name a notary payment demand as a prerequisite. A written unpaid-rent demand with proof of service is a separate job when possession or Article 25(1) is in view — see the unpaid-rent notice proof guide.
Which documents need Arabic translation?
All documents must be in Arabic or legally translated into Arabic, then uploaded on the RDC web page by the system sections. Hard copies are not entertained. Do not invent a per-document translator fee here.
Does this pack replace an unpaid-rent demand notice?
No. Demand plus notary or registered-mail proof is a different file. This pack is the RDC cheque-execution upload set after a bounce.
Is this the same as enforcing a rental judgment?
No. Judgment execution uses Register an Execution Proceeding — Rental and an enforcement writ with stamp — not File an Execution — Cheques.
Does a WhatsApp photo replace the bank return memo?
No. The RDC list names the bank-issued cheque return memo. Keep that memo with a legible cheque copy.
Build one Dubai RDC File an Execution — Cheques pack: Ejari, identity, IBAN proof, cheque copy, bank return memo, Arabic-ready — then stop.
