Can I request evidence of landlord selling property before I vacate?

Dear Sir/Madam,

My landlord sent me a legal notice through the Dubai Courts notary, giving me 12 months' notice to vacate.

He stated that he is willing to sell the house, but it is highly likely that this is not accurate and he is looking to rent it out at a much higher rent.

My current lease ends on November 14, 2023, and the legal notice is dated August 7, 2023. The landlord has also emailed me asking to sign a lease for the period November 2023 to August 2024.

What are my options?

Is it useful for me to send a response to their legal notice stating that we have received their notice, and that if they do not actually sell the villa, we will monitor the situation and not only report to RERA but also file for compensatory damages?

Can we request any evidence of them selling the villa?

Finally, if I speak to them and it turns out that they want to rent the villa at a much higher rate and they send me a lease with the higher rent, can I use that as support for their intention?
