Requesting the eviction of tenant for failing to pay rent
Hi,
I have a property in Dubai.
The lease expired end of February 2020, however, the tenant has not renewed the lease and is not paying me any rent. Also, the Dubai Government said I cannot give an eviction notice to tenants in March and April due to COVID-19.
It's almost 3 months and now she says she is not getting paid by her job and she is making excuses for payment or renewal.
Can I approach Dubai court now and send her a notice for nonpayment and eviction?
Please advise.
Thank you so much
Dear questioner,
You can initiate a complaint with RDC (rental dispute centre) Dubai against the tenant, along with a notice for eviction and nonpayment.
Further, we can help you with the process.
If need be, kindly contact us by phone for a detailed discussion or write to us at our email for further assistance.
You can issue a 30 days eviction notice for nonpayment of rent (this is the first step of eviction from the property) and after that, you can start the proceeding for eviction in the Rental Dispute Centre (RDC) in the Land Department and get an eviction order.
The tenant is not getting paid from the job is not your concern and you can proceed with the eviction process, there is no bar for this.
Please contact me for further consultation.
