Is the wife entitled to claim financial compensation for her husband's residence in her private apartment for 20 years without her benefiting from it, especially since the husband is well-off and owns other apartments that he rents out?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The rent for the apartment cannot be claimed if the husband was permitted to reside in it without rent, due to the absence of a contract between him and the owner, and because the tenant allowed him to stay without a condition for rent. However, if the lessor's intention was to claim rent, he can do so after taking an oath.
