س: أرسل لي مالك العقار إشعارًا بالإخلاء مدته عام واحد ينص على إخلاء العقار للاستخدام الشخصي. لكنه باع العقار الشهر الماضي دون أن يخطرني حتى. الآن، اتصل بي المالك الجديد وذكرني بإخلاء العقار وفقًا لإشعار الإخلاء المقدم من المالك القديم. هل يجب علي إخلاء العقار؟ أم هل لدي فرصة للاعتراض على صحة إشعار الإخلاء على أساس أنه تم تقديم إشعار الإخلاء يفيد بالاستخدام الشخصي ولكن في الواقع، قام المالك ببيع العقار؟

س: أرسل لي المالك إشعارًا مدته 12 شهرًا لإخلاء الفيلا لأغراض الاستخدام الشخصي. أعرف أنه لا يحق له تأجيرها لمدة عامين بعد الإخلاء. كيف يتم فرض ذلك على المالك؟ وما هو الإجراء الذي يحق لي اتخاذه في حالة قيام المالك بتأجير العقار؟

Q: Hello, Landlord sent an eviction note by email asking to confirm it by email as well. I already confirmed by email that I received her email. It has been 12 months and she is claiming that she wants to move into the apartment. I read several threads; some say that her claim does stand as it is similar to registered mail, while others say it has to be an official registered mail. From common sense, the landlord did get a confirmation that the tenant acknowledges receipt of the intent of eviction. From a literal legal perspective, she did not use registered mail. I suspect that this situation is frequent and I would like your experience based on what is recently happening in courts, and not only an interpretation of the law, as the concern is that two judges might interpret this part of the law differently.

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I have received a notice through Dubai courts from the landlord stating that he does not want to renew for the purpose of "Personal Use," as mentioned in the notice. He brought his family for viewing as well. After a couple of weeks of the notice, he sent me a WhatsApp message saying that he wants to show the house to other viewers because he is willing to sell.Is the notice I received still valid? Should he send me a new notice mentioning that he wants to sell? Does the current notice force me to leave the house in case he sells it before my contract ends?

Q: My rent contract ends on 9/8/2024. I contacted the landlord for renewal and he asked to increase the rent. He didn’t send any notice for an increase before 90 days, so I declined the requested increase. He called and said I should accept the increase or I have to leave. One day later, yesterday, he sent me (email) a notice to evict the apartment for selling, and he wrote he would provide a partial contract until 28 May 2025. Since I asked before in an email to share a copy of his EID, he used the same email subject to share the eviction notice. Can he do that before the contract renewal? He was willing to renew with higher rent and when I refused, he came with an eviction notice. What if pretends to sell it but doesn’t sell (shifts the ownership to wife)? How to check if it's sold? Can he send the eviction notice through email or should be through registered mail? If emails are accepted, can he send them under another email subject (subject used: a copy of EID or passport)? What should I do next? Thanks
