Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment?
Q: Hello sir, Is it obligatory to issue an invoice for my customer to process his down payment? Our system doesn`t allow us to issue an invoice unless the goods exist in our inventory.

Tenant demanding more than RDC verdict. Must I pay before the execution file is issued?
Q: Good day, I am a landlord, and my tenant filed a case with the RDC. The verdict was in his favor, and I am to pay the financial claim, which is the fees and expenses of the case. The tenant asked for a specific amount, which is higher than the official receipt that the RDC provided. So, I have paid that exact amount directly to the tenant. Naturally, the tenant asked for more. May I ask for guidance regarding the procedure? It has not been 15 days since the verdict, so I have been told by the RDC that the case is not final, and I must wait for the execution file to determine the exact amount. While I am happy to wait for that, my tenant has been threatening to open an execution file if I do not pay before the 15th day. She mentioned a travel ban as well. I feel lost and uncomfortable with the situation. Please help me understand the procedure.
