مواجهة صعوبات في دفع الإيجار بسبب جائحة فيروس كورونا

Dear questioner,

Thank you for your query. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the UAE government has issued a new directive; exempting Abu Dhabi and Dubai tenants from eviction if you are struggling to pay rent.

Dear questioner,

We advise you to try to negotiate with the owner or find an alternative instead.

Verification of contract terms:

Is there a termination clause?

The landlord has the right to evict the tenant from the unit upon the termination of the lease agreement in four exclusive cases related to the landlord's desire to demolish the property, rebuild it, restore it, or perform maintenance for it, or if he wishes to return it to his personal use or to one of his relatives to the first degree, or if the landlord wants to sell the rental property.

And if any of these cases is not available, the tenant has the right to stay according to the contract unless one party will notify the other of a warning not to renew.
