- The Labour Law states that employers must provide housing or housing allowance.

- The employment contract sets the terms and conditions for employment which should include amount of housing or provision of accomodation

- The employer should not claim back any money paid for housing as long as this has not been previously agreed.

- She can complain at the Labour Department on C ring road, but this will of course put her in trouble and the company may then terminate her contract and send her back home.

- The advise is she needs to reach an agreement with her employer.

- One question is if the other company provided her with accomdation, was that for free? was it agreed with her employer?

- It is very tricky but what does her contract say?

hope this helps

A Department of Labor near American Hospital will guide your friend what to do.

You may try googling the Qatar Labor Laws if you want an insight and might answer your friend's problem.

Good luck!!!
