Can I petition for immediate eviction due to tenant violations and refusal to vacate after notice?

Q: Dear Lawyers, I have a question regarding an immediate eviction petition to the Urgent Judge. The tenant did not return the apartment on 26 January 2025, despite a 12-month legal notice that ended on 25 January 2025. The tenant rejected all gas and fire prevention maintenance for 12 months. Al-Fanar Gas submitted a report with the tenant`s signature and refusal after the tenant broke the gas detector. The apartment was sold, and the new owner gave the tenant 90 days` notice. The tenant refused to show the new owner the apartment and ran away, according to building management. The tenant ignored the 12-month legal notice, did not return the apartment, broke the gas detector, and refused gas and fire detection system maintenance. The deal will be voided if the new owner cannot enter the property promptly. Can I petition the Urgent Matters Judge for quick eviction based on the tenant`s violations?

Is my controlling husband's secret tracking of my car legal?

Q: Salam Alaykum, My husband is very controlling. For instance, he refuses to transfer a SIM card from his name to mine. He takes pictures of my friends` cars when someone visits me and even spies on my child`s tutor (a lady). There are many other situations I won’t mention now. Recently, I discovered that he secretly added a tracking device to my car. Alhamdulillah, I have nothing to hide, but I want to know if he is allowed to do that. Is it legal? Kind Regards,
