Landlord and Tenant Advisory

Clear advice for both sides before filing, responding, or signing settlement documents.

What documents are needed for a rental dispute?

Tenancy contract, Ejari, title deed or property documents, notices, cheques, payment records, emails, WhatsApp messages, and handover reports are commonly needed.

Can a landlord evict a tenant immediately for non-payment?

No. Non-payment does not automatically allow immediate eviction. Under Article 25(1)(a) of Dubai's tenancy law, a landlord may seek eviction if rent remains unpaid for 30 days after the required payment notice is served, unless otherwise agreed. The notice, supporting evidence, and applicable proceedings must be considered.

Can tenants challenge rent increases?

Yes, depending on notice timing, contract terms, applicable rent rules, and supporting documents.
