Filing a case against the tenant for failing to pay the rent
I'm the owner of one apartment in Dubai and it's rented.
The tenant is not paying the rent for one year.
I want to know how to evict the tenant and recover my rent debt (AED 40000).

Dear Questioner,
Before proceeding with the eviction, you need to send your tenant a legal notice, requesting him to pay the amount. Otherwise, you can open a case against him.
In case he did not pay the requested amount until the deadline mentioned in the legal notice, you are free to open a case against him.
In case you have postdated cheques issued by him, I suggest you deposit the cheques and if the cheques are rejected for insufficient funds, you can file also a criminal case against him.
In case you would like to proceed, please feel free to contact me at rg@elnaggarlegal.com
