I am planning to buy a property in Abu Dhabi and it is rented. How to evict the tenant?
I am planning to buy a property in Abu Dhabi; however, the apartment is already rented with the lease expiring in October 2025.
In this case, once the property is transferred to me, I am not left with a 2-month notice period to evict the tenant.
I plan to live in this apartment. Do I have to renew the contract and give a new notice to the tenant?
Dear Inquirer,
Under Abu Dhabi tenancy law, when you purchase a rented property, you step into the landlord’s position and must respect the existing lease terms until expiry.
If you wish to evict the tenant for personal use, proper legal notice must be given in line with the law.
To protect your rights and avoid delays or disputes, we recommend seeking tailored legal advice before proceeding.
You may book a consultation with Future Vision for Advocacy and Legal Consultancy or appoint us to handle the process on your behalf.
Best regards,
