What if my landlord ignores my early notice to vacate after receiving an eviction notice?

Dear Questioner,

If you inform your landlord of your intention to leave the flat in September and he does not reply or arrange for the handover of the keys, it is important to document your attempts to reach out to him.

You should send the notice via certified mail or email and keep a copy of the communication for your records. If he still does not respond, you may need to seek legal assistance to determine the best course of action.

Regarding the payment that will fall after the date you have given to leave the flat, you should try to come to an agreement with your landlord on how to handle the payment.

If you are unable to reach an agreement, you may need to cancel the cheques with the bank to avoid any unauthorized deductions from your account.

It is always best to communicate with your landlord in writing and keep copies of all communication for your records to protect yourself in case of any disputes.

If you are unsure of your rights and obligations, it is recommended to seek legal assistance to ensure a smooth and legal departure from the flat.

Hello,

While your eviction notice is for 2025, your lease allows you to leave earlier with a one-month notice. Send a notice or email to document your notification.

Try scheduling a key handover with your landlord, but keep records of your attempts.

Hold off on canceling rent cheques until you clarify the final payment process. If it fails, approach RDC.

For further clarification, please share your WhatsApp number.

Dear Questioner,

You can leave the apartment during the notice period, but all outstanding financial issues must be settled, so we advise you to negotiate with the owner to end this matter.

If anything else is required, don’t hesitate to contact us via email at [------] or call our offices in Dubai at [------] or Sharjah at [------].

Hello,

You must complete the contract until its end, and you must give notice of your unwillingness to renew the contract two months before its end date if the contract is residential and three months if the contract is commercial.
