How to catch a person who is orally harassing and lying?
Q: Dear sir/madam, How can you catch a person who is harassing and lying to you orally and also using abusive words? He does not rely on text, email, or WhatsApp. Audio or video recording is a crime in Dubai though it is for personal safety and is not shared with anyone on social media. If we ask for consent, he will never give so it is a win-win situation for a false person & not for a true person in Dubai, where we can`t prove oral communication. This rule is a big win for those who are false orally & ignore you on email & WhatsApp.Nov 1, 2022

The landlord wants to increase the rent beyond the RERA index. Can he evict the tenant?
Q: Hello, I have the impression that my owner will send me an eviction notice of 12 months if I do not accept to pay the rent increase he is asking for. The rent increase is not allowed as the rental index is less than what I am currently paying. In that case, it means I will need to move from the flat in 12 months. Is it right? In this case, he cannot re-rent his flat within 2 years, right? Many thanks!

An advertisement for selling a car is not accurate. What to do after buying it?
