Dubai Eviction Rules Clarified: Legal Grounds for Removing Tenants Over Unpaid Rent

Under Dubai eviction rules, tenants may be legally evicted if rent remains unpaid after proper notice. According to amended Dubai tenancy laws, eviction may be requested before contract expiry if rent is not paid within 30 days of a formal notification. Such notice must be served through a notary public or registered mail.

If eviction is sought after contract expiry for the purpose of selling the property, a 12-month eviction notice is required. The notice must clearly state the reason for eviction and be formally delivered.

In cases of continued default, claims may be filed before the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre to recover rent and obtain eviction orders.
