Whether you pay rent or receive it β UAE law protects both parties under specific conditions. We help you understand your exact position.
Most rental disputes in Dubai arise from unfamiliarity with the law β not from weak rights
Rent increases in Dubai are governed by RERA's Smart Rental Index. Any increase exceeding the legal limit can be challenged before the RDC. Your landlord must notify you at least 90 days before your contract end date of any changes.
Legal eviction requires an official 12-month notice served via notary public or registered mail in legally permitted circumstances. Many notices fail to meet these requirements and can be challenged.
You are entitled to a full refund of your security deposit upon vacating in good condition. Normal wear and tear is not damage. If your landlord refuses to return the deposit β you can file a case before the RDC.
Landlords are legally required to keep the property habitable and carry out structural repairs. Repeated refusal of essential maintenance gives you legal options for remedy.
Non-payment entitles you to file a case before the RDC to recover outstanding amounts and request vacation of the property. We help you prepare and submit your file correctly.
If the lease has ended and you have properly notified the tenant of non-renewal β and they still refuse to leave β you can apply to the RDC for an eviction order.
