Eviction Notices & Legal Notices in Dubai

Compton Conveyancing prepares and serves legal and eviction notices in Dubai correctly, with expert knowledge of UAE tenancy and real estate law. Through our strategic partnership with Al Reyami Advocates, one of Dubai's leading legal practices, we provide full legal services across rental disputes, arbitration, and litigation.

Serving an eviction notice the correct way

Dubai's rental laws require landlords to meet specific conditions and follow a defined procedure before an eviction, including notifying the tenant in writing, citing the reasons, and setting a date to vacate. Before the tenancy ends, a tenant can only be evicted for a clear breach of contract. To sell, use the property yourself or carry out major work that would make it unsafe to live in, you must give at least 12 months' notice, and the tenant leaves when the tenancy ends. Whether you need to recover your property or increase the rent legally, these processes must be handled properly before you act. Speak to us first.

Questions

Eviction notices, explained.

Not covered here? Call +971 4 454 9734 or use the inquiry form above. We typically reply the same day.

Can I evict a tenant before the tenancy contract ends?

Only if the tenant clearly breaches the contract, for example by not paying rent, breaking the lease terms or using the property illegally. Otherwise the tenant can stay until the tenancy ends. Speak to us before you take any action.

Can I evict a tenant to sell the property or move in myself?

Yes, but only when the tenancy ends, and the tenant must receive at least 12 months’ written notice through a Notary Public or by registered mail. The same rule applies if major work will make the property unsafe to live in.

What does an eviction notice need to include?

It must be given to the tenant in writing, cite the reasons, set a date by which the tenant must vacate, and outline any outstanding debts to be paid.

Who handles the case if it goes to the Rental Disputes Centre?

Our lawyers at Al Reyami Advocates handle cases at the Rental Disputes Centre, the Dubai Courts and the DIFC, from filing and drafting through to execution, including appeals.
