The Eviction of the leased property - the Emirate of Dubai

Abstract

The lessor often requests the eviction of the leased property at the end of the lease contract, without a valid reason, and given the great importance that rent attaches to the tenant, as frequent movement leads to a sense of instability, it was necessary to protect the tenant, as the legislator in the Emirate of Dubai specified The cases that allow the landlord to request the eviction of the property at the end of the lease term, and through research we have clarified the cases of eviction of the property and the notification mechanism and how to calculate its period. We also find that the legislator in the Emirate of Dubai limited eviction cases to four cases exclusively, and obligated the landlord to notify the tenant of the reason for eviction before 12 months from the date of eviction, provided that the reason is among the four cases specified by the legislator. And in the event that the warning lacks its basic condition, which is a statement of the reason for eviction, the eviction request will be rejected as soon as a lawsuit is filed demanding the eviction, even if the reason for eviction was corrected during the eviction request The legislator in the Emirate of Dubai gives the tenant the right to request compensation if it becomes clear, after evacuating the property, that the landlord has leased it to another tenant, and has set a period of 2 years for residential properties and 3 years for non-residential properties.
