What is the process of RDC inspection for subleasing?

Greetings.

Yes, the issue of discovering the subtenant is not an easy process, because they may have agreed, especially since you cannot enter the property without the tenant’s permission.

Hello dear questioner,

In this case, if the rent is not paid for a period of 30 days, you send a warning to the tenant to vacate within a period of 90 days, and also the same period if the tenant sublets the rented property to other people without the owner’s approval.

If he does not vacate after the warning, in this case, file an eviction lawsuit and pay the rent due on the eviction date.

We can help you with the matter. For further discussion, please share your WhatsApp number.

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, the process for RDC (Rental Dispute Center) inspections in the UAE typically involves the following steps:

Request for Inspection: The landlord or property owner files a request with the RDC for an inspection of the property, usually as part of the eviction process for non-paying tenants.

Notification: Although it’s generally advisable to inform the tenant of the inspection, if you suspect that the tenant will manipulate the situation, you may want to discuss this concern with the RDC beforehand. They can advise on how to proceed.

Inspection Date: The RDC will schedule a date for the inspection, and they may or may not inform the tenant, depending on the circumstances and your concerns.

Conducting the Inspection: On the inspection day, RDC officials will visit the property. If the door is locked or if the subtenant refuses entry, they can:

Attempt to Contact the Tenant: They may try to reach the tenant directly.

Document the Situation: The officials will document the situation, noting any refusals of access.

Reporting: After the inspection, the RDC will prepare a report on their findings, which may include any issues related to access or the condition of the property.

Further Legal Steps: If the inspection confirms grounds for eviction, the landlord may proceed with further legal actions based on the RDC’s findings. If the tenant continues to be uncooperative, you may need to escalate the matter legally.

Recommendations:

Documentation: Keep detailed records of all communications and attempts to access the property, as this can be crucial in legal proceedings.

If you have specific concerns about your tenant's behavior, discussing them with the RDC ahead of time can help them plan accordingly.

Kindly do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email for further guidance.

As a procedure, the landlord must provide written notice to the main tenant, informing them of their intention to conduct an RDC inspection to verify subletting activity.

The notice should specify the date, time, and purpose of the inspection. The landlord and main tenant should agree on a suitable date and time for the inspection.

If the main tenant fails to respond or refuses to cooperate, the landlord may proceed with the inspection on the specified date and time.

During the inspection, the RDC inspector will verify the presence of subtenants and assess the property's condition. They will examine the premises for any unauthorized modifications or damage.

If you need further clarification, we will discuss more. Kindly share your WhatsApp number to discuss this further.

Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry regarding the RDC inspection process for subleasing.

The RDC (Rental Disputes Center) inspection is typically conducted as part of the legal process when there’s a suspicion of subleasing.

It’s crucial that the inspection is carried out properly, but I understand your concern about alerting the tenant, which could allow them to manipulate the situation.

In case the RDC inspector arrives and the door is locked or the subtenant provides false information, the inspector can report the situation as it stands.

However, if you're seeking eviction of a non-paying tenant based on subleasing, it’s important to gather as much evidence as possible to present your case effectively in court.

Given the complexity of this issue and the legal nuances involved, I recommend we discuss it further to ensure you proceed in the best possible way.

Feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp, phone, or email, and we can arrange a consultation to go over your options.

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the subleasing situation in Dubai.

According to the Dubai Rental Law, subleasing is only permitted with the written consent of the landlord.

Furthermore, it is a requirement that the person utilizing the leased property must be the tenant themselves or one of their relatives or friends, provided that they are not paying rent to the tenant.

Your primary evidence in this matter would involve the court officer who visits the location and interviews the occupants of the property. The real challenge for you will be to choose an appropriate time for this visit and ensure that there are tenants present who can provide accurate statements regarding the situation.

If you need assistance with the next steps or require further clarification on any legal matters, please do not hesitate to reach out.

The employee of RDC is professional, and this is not the first property he has dealt with.

He knows how to verify the identity of the residents on the property and whether they are subtenants or not.
