I live in Dubai Marina, and the landlord claimed that according to new Dubai Land regulations, the chiller now has to be paid by the person occupying the apartment. Even though my contract says that the landlord should pay the chiller, they want to implement this mid-contract. I understand that the terms upon renewal will be renegotiated, but on what grounds can they implement the change mid-contract? Does a new DLD regulation precede a tenancy contract? Moreover, I am receiving a disconnection notice from the chiller company due to non-payment. What can I do if this happens? Please advise.

Hello, Good afternoon! My friend works as a cleaner for a cleaning company and she now wants to resign with a 30-day notice. However, she has not completed the two-year contract and has only served for 16 months. Additionally, she has not taken any vacation leave. The sad part is that when she signed the offer letter, she did not receive a copy of it and only signed it. I would be very grateful if you could let me know if she would have to pay or if her boss has the right to not accept the resignation if the notice period mentioned in the offer letter is more than a month. Her boss has not provided her with any kind of proof that she can use in the future if anything happens.

Hello, I represent a tech-based marketplace company registered in a Freezone, in the UAE. This is in regards to the UAE's law regarding the ownership of code when there is no clause mentioned in the agreement. One of our products (web application) is being developed by an agency in the UAE. While we do have agreements in place, there is no clause regarding ownership of code. In the situation mentioned above, I've heard that the ownership of code either goes to the author or the agency that employed the author. Is this true? Your assistance and help would be of great help.

السلام عليكم، في الدعوى الجبرية لتقسيم التركة طلبت محامية المُدَّعَى عليه إيقاف سير الدعوى لحين الانتهاء من إجراءات بيع العقار والأرض للورثة وليس لمدة محددة. بعد الانتهاء من البيع، مَن يطلب استمرار الدعوى؛ المُدَّعِي أم المُدَّعَي عليه؟ التقديم عن طريق برنامج ناجز في السعودية. إذا قدمت الطلب بصفتي مدعية، فماذا أكتب في الأسباب؟ وما الملفات التي أرفقها؟

Hello, I would like to report an objectionable activity done by a person who has a posh hotel in Riyadh. He was openly spreading hate against Muslims on Instagram on an Indian news page.

One of the car companies is filing a case against me regarding the pulling of my car due to not paying my monthly payment, but I was on vacation at that time. When I came back here to Saudi Arabia, I found my car was pulled by the company and I was searching everywhere. Then I found my car in SNB and they said I need to pay SAR 10,192. But before that, I already have money to pay my 3 months' credit and they refuse to accept it. Instead, they want me to pay the last payment of SAR 10192. Now they filed a case against me and I didn't get money to my account. What will I do? The bank said I will get only 35% of my salary which is unfair. Please help me.

I am being harassed by a Facebook page store that has promised to deliver the items I ordered but it's been a week. Now he is just charging me money for either a clearance fee or a service fee and I spent almost SAR 16000. How can I solve this?
