What's illegal in Qatar — and what to do if it happened to you
Changing the locks, cutting power or water, removing belongings.Illegal.
Don't confront. Photograph, screenshot, note the time — and message us today.
Eviction outside the grounds the law recognises, or outside the Committee.Illegal.
A landlord who does it hands the tenant a case.
Rent increases beyond what the law and the contract allow.
Not every increase in a letter is one the law permits. Send us the letter.
Waiting.
Tenants have time limits for certain complaints. Miss them and the door closes.
I'm a tenant
We protect your right to stay until the lease ends, ask for your deposit back, and object to unlawful rent increases.
I'm a landlord
We serve the right notices and seek eviction and unpaid rent through the Committee.
I bought property
Paid a developer or seller who didn't deliver? That's a civil claim in the courts, and we explain your options.
Why Al Faisal for property disputes
We act for both sides.
We know what the other side's lawyer will argue before they do.
Procedure is the whole game.
Most property disputes turn on whether the procedure was followed correctly — and that's what most people get wrong.
Cassation-grade.
The notice we serve or the claim we file is prepared to be procedurally sound if the other side takes it further.
From Faysel Al Mohannadi
Property disputes are lost by whoever loses patience first — the landlord who changes the lock, the tenant who stops paying to make a point. The Committee doesn't reward the angrier party. It rewards the one with the contract, the notices and the dates in order. Send us the contract before you do anything else.

What clients say
- Rental dispute
My landlord tried to force an illegal eviction and raise the rent by 30%. The team represented me at the Rental Disputes Committee, blocked the eviction, and kept my rent at the legal limit. Excellent service.
- Property eviction
I had a tenant who stopped paying rent for six months and refused to vacate. Al Faisal law firm moved the case quickly through the courts. Within four months, I had the eviction order executed and the property back.
- Rental dispute
The AC in my villa broke down in the middle of summer and the landlord ignored my calls. Al Faisal helped me file a dispute, forcing the landlord to carry out the repairs and compensate me for the inconvenience.
- Real estate contracts
I own a commercial building and kept facing issues with vague lease agreements. The firm redrafted all my standard rental contracts to perfectly align with local laws. Haven't had a single dispute since.
- Civil dispute
I contacted Al Faisal after hours expecting an automated reply, but I spoke directly to a lawyer within 20 minutes. They were incredibly straightforward about my case. They told me exactly what I was up against, including some harsh realities I didn't want to hear at the time, but it saved me months of false hope.
- Commercial litigation
I walked into my first consultation completely overwhelmed by a commercial dispute. The team listened, took notes, and a few days later provided a clear written legal opinion. It outlined my exact risks and options. Because of that clarity, we knew exactly what steps to take next and won the claim.
- Regulatory compliance
We brought Al Faisal in to handle a complex regulatory issue. From day one, the scope of work and their fees were outlined clearly in writing, with no hidden surprises. Since they resolved the matter, our operations have run smoothly and we have retained them for all our corporate counsel.
- General consultation
I was intimidated by the legal process, but the team at Al Faisal explained every step in plain language. They made sure I understood my rights and didn't make any false promises. Truly professional from start to finish.
- Civil litigation
What stood out most was their communication. I never had to chase them for an update. They called me after every hearing and patiently answered all my questions.
Every case is different. Past results don't guarantee yours.
Questions we get every day
That's unlawful. Don't confront him. Document it and message us today. There is a fast route.
Through the Committee, with proper notice and recognised grounds. Do it yourself and you hand him a case.
Only within what the law and the contract allow. Send us both.
Weeks in most cases — far faster than court. Filing correctly the first time is what keeps it that way.
No — it's a civil claim, and we handle those. Send us what you signed and paid.
No. Tell us what happened, and we'll tell you the next step and what a consultation covers. Nothing is agreed until you choose.
A fixed fee, which we tell you before you book, with a written legal opinion, for the whole session: in person at our office in Al Sadd, Doha, on video or by phone. If you then instruct us, the case fee is agreed in writing before any work starts.
That's exactly what the first message is for. Tell us what happened, and we'll tell you plainly whether it's worth taking further.
Faysel answers WhatsApp messages himself. From the first meeting, you know who is handling your matter and how to reach them.
Yes, in Arabic or English. Tell us what happened, when, and what papers you have.
If the matter is in Qatar, yes. We meet on video or by phone, and explain what's needed for us to act for you from abroad.
No, video is enough. If you'd rather meet in person, our office in Al Sadd, Doha is open to you.
Yes. Everything you tell us is confidential under the Advocacy Law. It stays between us.
Before you change a lock or stop a payment, ask us.
