Property and rental disputes
Unpaid rent and rental payment claim in Syria
List each rental period, agreed amount, payment, credit and deduction separately. Identify whether the disagreement concerns non-payment, allocation of a payment or the rent demanded. Keep rent distinct from deposits, service charges and repair claims.
State the jurisdiction, any urgent date and the outcome you need. Scope and fee are confirmed before paid work begins.
Which amounts belong in a Syrian rental or property-maintenance account?
Separate rent, a refundable deposit, agreed charges and the cost of a particular repair. The published Civil Code provides a contractual framework, but the lease date, property use and any special rent legislation must be checked before selecting a remedy. Match each claimed deduction or balance to its clause, invoice and proof of payment or handover; one party's total is not a substitute for that reconciliation. List each rental period, agreed amount, payment, credit and deduction separately. Identify whether the disagreement concerns non-payment, allocation of a payment or the rent demanded. Keep rent distinct from deposits, service charges and repair claims.

Legal answer and supporting sources
How should a Syrian tenancy balance be checked?
Create separate entries for rent, deposit, utilities, maintenance and damage. Match each to the lease, payment receipt and handover or inspection evidence. Identify the lease date and applicable rental regime before choosing recovery or execution. A landlord’s deduction is not established merely by calling it maintenance, and a tenant should not assume the deposit automatically replaces the last rent instalment. Ask for the contractual and evidential basis of every disputed entry.
Legal context in Syria
Syria: Land-registry records and the legal basis of possession are central to property review. Obtain the available cadastral entry and identify any sale, inheritance, seizure or competing claim; an electronic extract service does not itself decide ownership or remove an encumbrance.

Legal Opinion in a Real Estate Case
Analysis of a Complex Real Estate Case in Syria
This study concerns a complex real estate dispute in Syria in which an heir claims entitlement to the value of a property formerly owned by his father. Ownership was transferred to the grandmother, who later sold the property to a third party shortly before the father’s death. The case focused on suspected irregularities in the transfer of ownership, the absence of genuine consideration, and the fictitious price recorded in the sale contract. CounselO | كاونسلو helped reconstruct the case legally by reviewing contracts and real estate records, analyzing examination transcripts, arranging the chronology of events, and highlighting the discrepancy between the recorded price and the property’s actual value. As a result, the court moved toward commissioning a real estate expert valuation to determine the property’s actual value, marking an important shift in the proceedings. In summary, CounselO’s support transformed a general claim into an organized legal case grounded in evidence, chronology, admissions, and the fictitious recorded price.
