Not Paying the Building Guard's Salary
A lady living in a foreign country owns an apartment in Jordan. She comes to Jordan once every three years for two months, and the building guard asks her for payment for the three years, claiming that this is the law in Jordan. She refuses to pay him. Is she at fault if she does not pay him?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: There is nothing of this kind in the law; rather, it is a contract between the apartment owner and the caretaker to pay a monthly amount. If there is no contract between them, the woman is not obligated to anything, and God knows best.
