Can a tenant use a legal notice with incorrect payment information to pay less than owed?

Dear Questioner,

There are certain possibilities in this situation.

As soon as you discover the mistake, send a corrected legal notice with the accurate outstanding payment amount.

Clearly state that the previous notice contained an error and provide the correct details. Or else explain the situation to the tenant and apologize for the mistake.

Assure them that the correct information is now provided and that you expect them to pay the outstanding amount in full by email. If the tenant responds, then he cannot deny the amount later.

If you need further clarification, kindly share your WhatsApp number, and we will discuss it further.

If the tenant pays the amount mentioned in the notice, the effect of the notice will end, but this does not mean that they are exempt from the remaining amount.

Dear Questioner,

The tenant cannot legally use the mistake to pay less than they are owed, especially if the mistake is corrected immediately and a new legal notice is served with the correct amounts.

If the court is aware that an error has been corrected and that you have acted in good faith, this may prevent the tenant from using the mistake as a legal argument.

It is important that you act quickly to correct the error, as any delay in correcting it may give the tenant the opportunity to try to exploit the situation.

If the tenant is still trying to take advantage of the error after it has been corrected, you can then present evidence of the corrected error in court.

For assistance, please contact us by phone or WhatsApp.

You need to correct the material error and write the required value.

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry!

According to UAE law, a legal notice is a formal communication that is sent to inform the recipient of a legal action that will be taken against them.

In this case, if the legal notice sent to your tenant contains incorrect information about the outstanding payment, it may affect the validity of the notice.

If the tenant uses this as evidence to pay less money than what is actually owed, you can challenge this by providing evidence of the correct outstanding amount.

This can include bank statements, receipts, or any other documentation that shows the actual amount owed.

It is important to rectify the mistake in the legal notice as soon as possible by sending a corrected notice to the tenant. This will help avoid any confusion or disputes in the future.

If the tenant refuses to pay the correct amount, you can take legal action against them by filing a case with the relevant authorities.

It is recommended to seek legal advice from us as a lawyer in this situation to ensure that your rights are protected and the matter is resolved in a timely and fair manner.

Please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email for further assistance.

Dear Questioner,

In this situation, since there was an error in the legal notice sent to the tenant, it’s important to correct the mistake as soon as possible to avoid complications:

1. Recommended Steps:

- Send a Corrected Legal Notice:

Issue a corrected legal notice with accurate information regarding the outstanding payment and reason for eviction. Ensure that this time it is reviewed by a qualified person, like a lawyer, before sending it.

- Acknowledge the Mistake:

Clearly state that the previous notice contained a clerical error due to a miscalculation and that it has now been rectified.

Make sure this corrected notice is officially documented and sent via a reliable delivery method (such as registered mail).

2. Impact on Tenant’s Rights:

The tenant might argue that the initial notice, due to incorrect information, impacts their obligations. To minimize this risk, you should provide written clarification and demonstrate that it was an honest mistake without intent to mislead.

3. Legal Assistance:

Consult a lawyer who can help prepare the correct legal notice and communicate with the tenant or the authorities if the tenant tries to use the incorrect information to his advantage.

If you need legal representation or further assistance in issuing a corrected notice, feel free to contact me.
