Since you’ve correctly served the 12-month eviction notice and the Dubai Land Department (DLD) has confirmed your compliance, you are in a strong position to proceed if the tenant refuses to vacate.

To prepare for filing a case with the Dubai Rental Disputes Settlement Center (RDSC), you will need the following documents:

1- Proof of Notice: A copy of the 12-month eviction notice served via notarized letter or registered mail, along with proof of delivery.

2- Title Deed: To confirm ownership of the property.

3- Tenancy Agreement: The current contract with the tenant.

4- Emirates ID/Passport Copy: For identification.

5- Communication Records: Evidence of all communications with the tenant regarding the eviction.

6- DLD Rejection Letter: Proof that the tenant's claim was dismissed.

We specialize in handling eviction cases and can assist you with preparing and filing the case, ensuring all requirements are met. Recently, on 11 December 2024, we successfully obtained an eviction judgment for a landlord client under similar circumstances.

Ensure you have a copy of the eviction notice you served to the tenant, showing that it was served within the required timeframe and following the correct procedures.

If the notice was issued by registered mail or hand-delivered, provide evidence of this as well (delivery receipt, acknowledgment, etc.).

Provide the signed rental agreement or lease contract that clearly outlines the terms of the tenancy, including the agreed-upon duration and any terms regarding the end of the tenancy.

Submit proof of ownership of the property, such as the title deed, to demonstrate that you are the legitimate owner.

Provide written communication between you and the tenant, such as emails, letters, or messages, about the termination of the lease and the eviction.

If the tenant refuses to vacate after the eviction notice has expired, you’ll need to file a case with the RDC.

For further assistance, kindly share your Whatsapp number.

If he doesn't leave on the eviction date, you may file a dispute with RDC to evict the tenant from the property.

You will have to submit the Ejari, eviction notice, title deed, and his acceptance of receiving the legal notice of eviction (Aramex delivery).

If you need further clarifications, kindly share your WhatsApp number. We will discuss more

If the tenant doesn’t vacate after the notice period, you can file an eviction case.

You will need documents such as the tenancy contract, eviction notice, and proof of the tenant’s refusal to leave. All documents must be translated into Arabic by a certified translator.

Hello,

The key to resolving this matter lies in understanding the basis for the eviction notice. Is the eviction intended for sale of the property or for personal use?

Additionally, how did the tenant submit their request to DLD?

Was it through a formal lawsuit or a petition (urgent application), and what exactly were the details of that filing?

If you have issued the notice correctly and in compliance with Dubai rental laws, you are within your rights to initiate an eviction case should the tenant fail to vacate.

This case can also include a demand for any outstanding rent, along with a request for the tenant to bear the legal fees and court expenses.

To proceed, please provide all relevant documents, including the eviction notice, proof of delivery, current Ejari, and any other agreements or correspondence with the tenant.

These documents may need to be translated into Arabic for submission to the court. Once I review the documents, I can guide you through the specific steps for filing the case and ensure all required materials are in order.

Feel free to send the documents to my email for detailed advice.

The lease contract, eviction notice, and the ID cards of the landlord and tenant.

There is no need to translate anything, as all these documents are in Arabic.

You will need a statement of claim, which should be in Arabic.
