Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Can I sue my father-in-law for interference and discord in my marriage? My father-in-law has been holding my 2.5-year-old son since May 30, 2023.

Can a RERA certificate allow a landlord to increase rent arbitrarily?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Advice on rent rules: Can a RERA rental valuation certificate allow a landlord to increase rent arbitrarily? I received an email from my landlord saying they have taken out a RERA rental valuation certificate which legally allows them to increase the rent to that particular number, which is substantially higher than my current rent. My question is, is this allowed? My current rent was already increased by 10% last year, and now the landlord wants to increase it this year, so over two years, it is a 35% increase. What are my options here? Any advice would be helpful!Oct 9, 2023

How to get a refund from an immigration consultant?
Q: Hi All, I paid an immigration consultant to provide me with a job offer for Canada. The office is in Business Bay. We agreed on a total cost of 30,000 CAD and a time frame of 90-120 days. I paid an initial deposit of 10,500 AED in May 2023. After I paid, they told me that the employer charged an additional 5 CAD. They have said this multiple times, claiming that the employer has high demands and the fees have increased. When I asked for a refund, they said I have to wait because they are still working on finding another employer who will charge the same amount. However, as soon as I started asking for a refund, they began to change their story. I no longer want to proceed with this process, and I want a refund.Oct 5, 2023
