Dear questioner,

If you are in Dubai Emirate, then you can file a complaint for non-payment of rent and breaching contract terms.

If you are residing in any other emirate, approach the Rental Court for the same.

If you need our assistance in your matter, please share your WhatsApp number.

Dear Sir,

In the UAE, your tenant's behavior constitutes several breaches of the tenancy agreement. Here's what you can do legally:

1. Serve a Legal Notice:

A 30-day legal notice is the first step. Get a lawyer to draft a notice demanding immediate payment of outstanding rent, mentioning the subletting violation and potential eviction if they don't comply.

2. Rental Dispute Center (RDC):

If they fail to respond to the notice, file a case with the RDC in your area. They handle tenancy disputes and can order eviction and payment of outstanding dues.

3. Eviction:

If the RDC rules in your favor and the tenant doesn't comply, you can request an eviction order.

4. Document Everything:

Keep copies of the lease, payment records, evidence of subletting (photos, witness statements), and communication records with the tenant.

For further legal assistance, feel free to contact us.

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry!

Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, according to UAE law, a landlord has the right to terminate a tenancy contract if the tenant fails to pay the rent for a period of 30 days from the due date.

In this case, it seems that the tenant has not paid the rent for 3 months, which gives you the right to terminate the contract.

You can send a notice to the tenant, stating that they have breached the contract by not paying the rent and by subletting the apartment without your permission.

The notice should give them a specific time period (usually 30 days) to rectify the situation and pay the outstanding rent.

If they fail to do so, you can proceed with terminating the contract and evicting them from the property.

It is important to note that the notice should be sent through registered mail or delivered by hand with a witness present. This will serve as proof that the tenant has received the notice.

If the tenant still refuses to leave the property after the notice period, you can file a case with the Rent Dispute Settlement Committee.

They will review the case and make a decision on whether the tenant should be evicted or not.

In addition, you can also claim for any outstanding rent, damages to the property, and any other expenses incurred due to the tenant's breach of contract.

It is always advisable to seek legal advice from us as a lawyer before taking any legal action. We can guide you through the process and ensure that all legal procedures are followed correctly.

Kindly do not hesitate to contact us via phone or email.

Dear Questioner,

Failure to pay the rental value is a reason for the tenant to be evicted from the property.

You can file an eviction lawsuit with a request for the rental value until the eviction is complete and the rental property is delivered.

Dear user,

Not paying the rent due and subletting the apartment without your written approval are considered a breach of contract.

Therefore, first, you may send a legal notice demanding the rent amount, and if they don't respond to the notice, you may then file a case at RDSC.

We can sue them for breaking the rules of the old contract and open an eviction case against them.

Dear Questioner,

According to UAE law, a tenant is required to pay their rent on time as per the terms of the tenancy contract.

If the tenant is consistently late with their payments, the landlord has the right to take legal action against them.

In this case, since the tenant has not signed a new contract and has not provided new cheques, the old contract is still valid.

The landlord can send a notice to the tenant to pay the outstanding rent and also inform them that subletting the apartment with partitions is a violation of the contract.

If the tenant fails to pay the outstanding rent or remove the partitions, the landlord can file a case with the Rental Dispute Settlement Center (RDSC).

The RDSC will then schedule a hearing and make a decision based on the evidence provided by both parties.

It is important to note that the landlord cannot evict the tenant or take any other action without a decision from the RDSC.

Any self-help measures taken by the landlord can result in legal consequences.

You can send a warning letter for non-payment of rent and then ask for eviction.

We can assist you in sending the legal notice.
