“Benevolent business people often reach out to the centre personally to contribute to assisting these cases,” RDC added.

Judge Abdulqader Mousa Mohammed, RDC chairman, said: “Supporting the most vulnerable is part of our mission. Just as we follow the principles of integrity and justice in handling all rental disputes to regulate the real estate market, we also aim to resolve rental disputes for all segments of society, including those in financial hardship.

“Our goal is to assist as many needy and affected individuals as possible, thereby achieving stability in landlord-tenant relationships and ensuring the sustainability of the real estate environment in Dubai,” he added, noting that Yad Al Khair “promotes a spirit of solidarity, social cohesion and cooperation among community members.”
