My employer did not provide me with medical insurance and refused sick leaves. What can I do?
Q: Hello, I`ve been working for this company for a little over a year now, and my employer hasn`t provided me with medical insurance yet. Since I have chronic asthma, I used to take leaves to rest my body and get better. I wasn`t able to get sick leaves except for two occasions (in which I`ve paid for one and one has been reimbursed). Last week I noticed that 1000 was deducted from my salary. I went to talk to my employer and told him that it was unfair because due to not having medical insurance, this was the outcome of the situation. He told me that I have till March to find another job and made it seem as if he was doing me a favor. I know I have the right to have insurance and he is breaking the law. What could be done in this case? Though I`ve wanted to avoid this route, the unfairness is too much. Thank you.

I was terminated. What happens if I leave before the end of notice period?
Q: Greetings! I just want to ask for clarification. My company renewed my visa three months ago, but now I am being terminated because I am an existing staff member. This is because our department will no longer remain beyond the end of December 2024 due to a management change. The company informed me of my termination only four days ago, but I have a three-month notice period. Is it correct that if I leave before completing the three-month notice, I will have to pay a penalty? Or, since they are terminating me, am I entitled to complete the three-month notice period without any penalties? I just want to understand my rights regarding this situation. Thank you.

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?
