Abu Dhabi: Real estate manager sues tenant for Dh300,000 after he 'insulted' her on WhatsApp

A general manager of a real estate firm in Abu Dhabi filed a lawsuit against her tenant, accusing him of undermining and insulting her through WhatsApp messages without any reason.

Official court records stated that the woman filed the lawsuit at the Abu Dhabi Family and Civil Administrative Court demanding that the man pays her Dh300,000 in compensation for the moral and material damages.

She explained in her lawsuit that she is the general manager of the real estate company affiliated with a major properties management group, and that the defendant spoke with one of her subordinates via WhatsApp because he had a water problem in his apartment. She said that the man insulted her without a clear reason.

The defendant denied the accusations against him when he appeared in court. The tenant’s lawyer said the accusations against his client were malicious and baseless.

He requested the judge to dismiss the case, stressing that there was no sufficient evidence to prove that his client insulted the plaintiff.

After hearing from all parties, the judge decided to dismiss the case due to lack of evidence.
