Reader's question: Mr. Minh, born in 1990 and residing in Binh Thanh District (Ho Chi Minh City), asks: I have leased a house for living with a two-year contract. After six months, I noticed that the electrical system in the house frequently malfunctions due to its age, which poses a safety hazard when in use. I reported it to the landlord, but the landlord asserts it is my responsibility since I directly use the electricity. The house agreement does not specify who is responsible for repairing the electrical system. In this case, who is responsible for fixing the electrical system? What actions can I take to protect my legal rights and interests?"

Reader's question: Mr. Nguyen Van M, currently residing in the USA, asks: My family has four siblings: my older brother Nguyen Van B, my older sister Nguyen Thi N, my younger sister Nguyen Thi Th, and myself. Last month, my older brother Nguyen Van B passed away and leaving behind a savings account at Agribank with nearly 2 billion VND. When he passed away, he did not leave a will. My brother lived alone without a wife or children, and our parents passed away many years before him. Currently, my older sister Mrs. Nguyen Thi N wishes to inherit the entire amount left by my brother, arguing that my younger sister and I have been living abroad for many years and did not take care of him. However, my older sister has a gambling addiction, and I am concerned that she might squander the money my brother worked hard to save. In this situation, are my younger sister and I entitled to inherit any portion of the estate? And if my older sister refuses to share the inheritance, what option do we have?

Ms. Quyen in Cam Le District (Da Nang City), asked: Mr. Hung, in Hai Chau District (Da Nang City) is my child's English tutor and is currently working at a foreign language center in Da Nang. Taking advantage of this acquaintance, around September 2021, he asked me to borrow 250 million to urgently solve his family's problems.

However, when the payment was due, Mr. Hung found every way to avoid and refused to pay even though I asked him many times. Up to now, it has been overdue for more than a year, but Mr. Hung deliberately does not pay me even though he has a house on the street and goes to work by car. What should I do to get my money back?

Mr. Nguyen Anh Vu, residing in District 8 -Ho Chi Minh City asked: In May 2019, my husband and I bought an apartment from Company X., expected to handover home in June 2020. However, up to now, the agreed deadline has passed but this project has not been completed or handed over. Because I couldn't wait any longer, my husband and I wanted to buy an apartment in another project, so I repeatedly requested Company X to refund the amount we I have paid and compensated according to the signed Apartment Purchase Contract (referred to as Contract) but not resolved. I intended to sue in Court but was advised to sue at the Arbitration Center because the dispute resolution clause in the Contract stated "all disputes arising during the implementation of the contract will resolved at Arbitration Center ". In fact, this is a pre-prepared general contract form that Company unified application, so I personally did not pay attention and was not informed in advance by Company X. about the terms of settlement at the Arbitration Center . Up to now, when checking the signed Contract, I learned that the settlement cost at the Arbitration Center is much higher than at the Court. So can I sue in Court or do I have to request settlement at the Arbitration Center as in the Contract?
