Email eviction notice: Legally binding or not?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My landlord has sent me an eviction notice via email. As far as I know, they need to serve a formal notarized notice, stamped by the courts and delivered by Aramex, Emirates post or any registered mail/postal services for us to vacate the property. Can we stay because they didn`t send the notarized notice through postal services? Or should we vacate the property?

إمكانية المطالبة بزيادة أو نقصان النفقة بعد سنة
س: السلام عليكم، أرجو التوضيح! من المعلوم أن الاتفاق أمام التوجيه الأسري وفق المادة 16 الفقرة الثانية يعتبر سندًا تنفيذيًا ولا يجوز الطعن فيه، ولكن أيضًا النفقة ذات حجية متغيرة ويُراعَى فيها الزمان والمكان، فهل إذا اتفق الطرفان على مبلغ نفقة لا يحق لأحدهما طلب الزيادة أو النقصان بعد مرور سنة؟

How to get real estate developer to fix moisture issue in a new apartment?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I recently purchased a new apartment unit from a real estate developer, and the unit is brand new. The building`s completion certificate and civil defense certificate were issued in September. The handing over and snagging was completed last November. However, after receiving the apartment, I noticed that the paint was peeling off due to moisture in the walls. Since the unit is still under a 1-year warranty, I have contacted the customer service of the developer to rectify the problem. Unfortunately, the maintenance team only painted the walls and did not address the underlying issue. The problem has persisted for six months and is only getting worse. I am wondering what steps I can take with the developer to get them to fix the problem. How can I file a complaint and receive real support from the developer? Should I consider appointing a lawyer and granting them power of attorney? Is it worth the cost? Please note that I am currently residing in KSA and do not have a residence permit in the UAE.Apr 21, 2023
