Sending a 12-month eviction notice to a tenant before the end of the tenancy contract

Dear Client,

Yes, you can give a 12-month eviction notice to your tenant before the end of the existing tenancy contract.

If you provide the eviction notice on 15th July 2024, the end date of the new tenancy contract should align with the end date of the 12-month eviction notice.

For more queries and concerns, please call us at [-------]. We can assist in drafting the eviction notice according to the RERA Regulations.

The tenant is obligated to vacate within 12 months from the date of notification of eviction, even if the lease contract expires before that.

Dear client,

Please note that you can give the notice any time before 24th July (the end of the contract period).

We can issue the legal notice through a notary public, and our fees are as follows:

- Our fees: 500 + VAT.

- Court fees: 220.

- Notification fees: 84.

- Translation fees (if the tenant is not Arabic-speaking): 100.

We can use your UAE Pass to do it, and if you don't have a UAE Pass, then you must make a POA. The fees for POA are 120.

Awaiting your reply.

Thanks!

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry!

Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, according to UAE law, a landlord can give a 12-month eviction notice to a tenant before the end of the existing tenancy contract.

This means that you can give the notice on 15th July 2024, even though the contract is due for renewal on 24th July 2024.

The end date mentioned in the new tenancy contract would be the end date of the 12-month eviction notice, which would be 15th July 2025.

This is because the eviction notice takes precedence over the original contract end date.

It is important to note that the eviction notice must be given in writing and should include the reason for eviction.

The tenant also has the right to challenge the eviction notice in court if they believe it is unjustified.

It is recommended to consult with us as a legal professional for specific advice on your situation.

Kindly feel free to contact us at [-------] for further guidance.

Greetings,

Hello,

If your property is located in Dubai, according to the rental laws and established jurisprudence, the landlord has the right to evict the tenant for personal use or sale as long as a 12-month eviction notice is given and the necessary conditions are met.

The renewal of the contract for any duration or non-renewal does not affect this right. The contract remains valid by law, and the landlord can evict the tenant at the end of the notice period, even if the lease contract is still in effect.

Dear questioner,

You cannot change the terms of the tenancy contract or reduce the dates as it may cause complications.

The contract is made for 1 year, and if you need to change or amend the terms, there will be a question of amendment notice.

To avoid this, extend the period of the eviction notice until the tenancy agreement expires, as the dates are within one month, and keep the end date in the tenancy agreement the same.

It is important to check the specific laws and regulations regarding eviction notices in your location as they can vary.

In general, giving a 12-month eviction notice before the end of the existing tenancy contract is allowed, as long as it complies with the legal requirements in your area.

If you give a 12-month eviction notice on 15th July 2024, the end date mentioned in the new tenancy contract would be the end date of the 12-month eviction notice, not the original end date of the existing tenancy contract.

It is recommended to clearly state the end date of the eviction notice in the new tenancy contract to avoid any confusion.

It is always best to seek legal advice or consult with a local housing authority to ensure that you are following the proper procedures when evicting a tenant.
