The tenant wants to continue leasing a villa while a notice was not sent

Hello,

I am leasing a villa in Dubai since July 2020. Along with the Ejari contract, I have also signed an addendum with the landlord stipulating that I need to inform him at least 90 days prior to contract expiry of my wish to either renew the contract or vacate the unit.

The notice deadline has passed and I have not informed the landlord of my wish to renew my contract. Some days ago (after the notice deadline), the landlord wrote, requesting to vacate the unit upon expiry of my contract, as he will be selling the unit.

The Dubai law stipulates that any non-renewal notice should be given 90 days prior to contract expiry. At the same time, I did not comply with the requirement in the addendum to inform the landlord of my wish to extend.

What will apply in this case? Can the landlord use the addendum as a basis or will the Dubai law prevail and the contract will be "auto-renewed"?

Thank you for your help!
