How can I vacate a rented property bought at auction?
Dear Lawyers,
I am buying a property from an auction house that is already rented out.
What is the process to get the property vacated?
Greetings,
Tenants are served an eviction notice and then vacate the property.
We are honored to provide you with legal support. For further inquiries about your topic, you can come to our office or contact us via phone, WhatsApp, or email.
Dear questioner,
First, we need to inquire with the previous owner about whether the eviction notice was served.
If not, we either need to send the eviction notice through him or issue a legal notice from our side for a valid and strong reason.
Dear Questioner,
Thanks for your inquiry!
Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, once the property is officially transferred to your name, you will need to notify the tenant by notification.
This notification should inform them of the new ownership and your intentions regarding the property.
If they will not vacate the property, you can send them a legal notice, and ensure this notice is in both Arabic and English to avoid any issues.
If the tenant does not vacate after 30 days after the notice period, you may need to file a case with the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre (RDSC) in Dubai or the relevant authority in your emirate.
Kindly do not hesitate to reach out to us via phone or email for any complicated situation or further assistance.

Dear Questioner,
In this case, the rental relationship continues under the same contractual terms with the previous landlord, and in the event of any of the following eviction reasons:
1. In the event that the tenant fails to pay the rent even after 30 days have passed from the date of being notified of the rent's due date.
2. In the event that the tenant subleases the property without the landlord's consent.
3. In the event that the leased property is used for illegal purposes that violate public order and morals.
4. If the leased property is a commercial property and it is left vacant for thirty consecutive days or for a total of ninety non-consecutive days within one year.
5. The tenant made a change to the property that affects its safety or causes damage to the leased property due to deliberate and gross negligence.
6. The leased property was used for purposes other than those for which it was rented, or it was used in a manner that violates the planning and construction regulations of the Emirate of Dubai.
7. In the event that the leased property is in a state beyond repair as indicated and confirmed by an approved technical report from the Dubai Municipality.
8. In the event that the tenant fails to comply with legal obligations or the terms of the lease agreement, even after a thirty-day prior notice is given to the tenant for the purpose of adhering to the provisions of the lease agreement or the law.
9. The demolition of the rented property was necessitated by a government order.

Hello,

After you receive the title deed, you can provide a 1-month notice to vacate or take action based on the property's status.

Thank you for reaching out with your question!
Purchasing a property that is already rented out can be a bit complex, but it is certainly manageable.
In Dubai, the rights of the tenant are protected under the tenancy contract, and if the contract is still valid, the tenant may be entitled to remain in the property until the end of the lease term.
However, there are specific legal provisions that allow you to vacate the tenant, such as personal use of the property or if you intend to sell it again, but the proper notice must be given according to Dubai’s rental laws.
The first step would be to review the tenancy agreement and any relevant documents. Depending on your intended use for the property, I can assist you in navigating the legal process, including serving the appropriate notice and handling any disputes if necessary.
I would be happy to discuss this further and provide detailed advice based on your situation. Feel free to contact me via WhatsApp, phone, or email.
Looking forward to assisting you!
Best Regards,
Suhail Rana
