A tenant does not pay rent and sublets the property. How can I evict him?

Dear Sir/Madam,

We can evict the tenant from the property within 30 days of notification of non-payment of rent. The owner need not to be present in the country.

You can issue a Power of Attorney to us to handle this eviction.

Share your WhatsApp number. We will discuss more about the eviction procedures.

Dear Questioner,

Immediate legal eviction is possible if the tenant breaches the lease terms; otherwise, seek local authorities' intervention if eviction is resisted.

The landlord must issue an eviction notice through a public notary or registered mail.

If you require assistance, feel free to share your WhatsApp number, and we can support you in this matter.

Dear Questioner,

According to UAE law, a landlord has the right to terminate a tenancy contract if the tenant fails to pay rent for 30 days or more.

In this case, you can issue a notice to the tenant to pay the outstanding rent within a specific period of time (usually 10 days) or vacate the premises.

If the tenant fails to comply, you can file a case with the Rental Dispute Settlement Center (RDSC) to terminate the tenancy contract and evict the tenant.

In addition, subletting without the landlord's knowledge or approval is also a violation of the tenancy contract and can be grounds for termination.

If you need further assistance, you can contact us via email.

Thanks!

Dear Questioner,

You can send a warning to the tenant to vacate the property for not paying the rent. If he does not respond within a month, you can then ask the court to issue a decision to vacate the tenant from the apartment.

In addition, you can open an execution with returned checks to collect their value, seize his money and bank accounts, and prevent him from traveling.

You can contact us to help you solve your case and get your money and your apartment back.

Thank you for reaching out regarding your tenancy concerns!

I understand the urgency of your situation and the frustration it may be causing.

Based on the details you provided, it appears that swift action is necessary to address both the non-payment of rent and the unauthorized subletting of the property.

To expedite the process and protect your rights as a landlord, here are the initial steps you can take:

- Review Lease Agreement:

Start by reviewing the lease agreement to understand the terms and conditions related to non-payment of rent and subletting. This will provide a foundation for the legal steps you can take.

- Serve Eviction Notice:

In many jurisdictions, serving an eviction notice is the first formal step in the eviction process. The notice should specify the reasons for eviction, such as non-payment of rent and unauthorized subletting. Ensure that the notice complies with local laws.

- Engage Legal Representation:

Given the complexity of the situation and the fact that you are residing in Sweden, it is advisable to engage legal representation in the jurisdiction where the property is located. A local attorney can guide you through the legal process and ensure that your rights are protected.

- Document Communication:

Keep a thorough record of all communication with the tenant and property manager. This includes emails, messages, and any written or verbal agreements. Documentation will be valuable in building your case.

- Contact Property Manager:

If your property manager has not been responsive, it may be necessary to explore alternative management options or, if possible, establish direct communication with the tenant. Legal representation can also assist in facilitating communication.

Given the unique circumstances of your case, I recommend contacting me directly through WhatsApp or phone to discuss the specific details and explore the best course of action.

Dear Questioner,

I understand the difficult situation you're facing with your non-compliant tenant in the UAE.

Non-payment of rent for over a year and unauthorized subletting are serious issues, and it's clear that swift action is needed, especially considering your distance from the property and the lack of response from your property manager.

At O.S Legal, we specialize in dealing with such complex tenancy disputes. We can assist you in taking the necessary legal steps to resolve this matter. Our approach would typically involve:

1. Issuing a Formal Notice:

This is a crucial first step to initiate any legal action. We can draft and send this notice on your behalf.

2. Legal Representation:

Should the tenant fail to comply, we can represent you in any legal proceedings necessary for eviction, ensuring compliance with UAE tenancy laws.

3. Handling Subletting Issues:

We will address the unauthorized subletting, which adds another layer to your case.

I encourage you to contact us via phone or email to discuss your case in more detail. Our team is ready to provide the legal support you need to navigate this situation and achieve a resolution as quickly as possible.

Looking forward to assisting you.

Best regards,

Dear Sir,

You will have to file a tenancy complaint in the RDC of the Dubai Land Department to recover the unpaid rent amounts.

Additionally, a request for eviction of the concerned tenant can also be made on grounds of non-payment and violation of the lease contract (subletting without your written approval).

In this regard, since you are out of the country (combined with the lack of timely response from your property manager), we strongly recommend you seek legal representation/assistance to ensure appropriate initiation, representation, and management of the proceedings.

We trust the above answers your queries.

Should you require any further assistance from our side in this regard, please contact us via phone or email.

Have a great day!

Dear Questioner,

Greetings!

Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention!

With 25 years of experience in rental law, we are well-versed in cases such as yours. Having dealt with ten similar cases in the past two months, and three already this week, we are confident in our approach to resolving these issues swiftly.

The solution to your situation is straightforward. We can start by filing a request to have the case reviewed by a government-appointed expert.

Once it is established that the tenant has violated the contractual terms by subletting, we will issue a legal notice upon reporting the case.

If no compliance is observed within five days, we will proceed with filing an eviction lawsuit, which has a high success rate in our practice.

In fact, we handle dozens of such cases weekly and could provide you with five examples of rulings from this week alone.

Moreover, to strengthen the case, the legal notice will also highlight the tenant's refusal to pay rent, thereby presenting two solid grounds for eviction.

Please send us the necessary documentation so we can initiate the process for you.

Thank you once again for reaching out. We are here to assist you every step of the way.

Best Regards,

Abdellatif Al-Areed
