The right to claim money from salon after bad hair treatment
Q: I had a keratin treatment on December 31 and after a day I complained as they have damaged my hair. They advised me to blow dry my hair every after the shower. I tried it for a few days until I got tired and it isn`t supposed to be this way, so I went back to the salon and talked to the owner. She claimed that it`s their mistake and advised me to give my hair a rest for 2 weeks so they can do the same treatment again. I agreed. However, I am hesitant that my hair might be more damaged as it is already brittle and crumbled. It`s totally destroyed. I have another week to do the same procedure again. Can I demand to take my money back and not do the same treatment again? Questions & Answers

Tenant's rights in case the landlord wants to sell the apartment
Q: Dear Sirs I will appreciate your kind advice regarding my case. I am renting from the landlord since 3 years now, all payments are done on time and even I am doing maintenance for things in my house which I am not supposed to do but to maintain the property in good shape out of goodwill. I received an email from my landlord asking for renewal as per the agreement, 3 months prior to the termination of my current contract. I visited them and handed over the new cheques for the new rental year in advance and signed the new tenancy contract. Now I discovered that he may be selling the property and may not renew my contract despite receiving my cheques and delaying EJARI renewal. I still have 2 months to go in the current contract. my question to you is, are they allowed to renew or to compensate if they already took my cheques for the new year rental and exchange of emails with the same is available? What are my legal rights here? Thanks and have a great day. Questions & Answers
