What is the required notice period for the landlord to evict the tenant?

I recently purchased a property in Springs which is rented till September. I need legal advice on the procedure to send an eviction notice to my tenant as I need to occupy the property for personal use.

As far as I read in the RERA legislation Page 108-110, Article (25) - Section - 2, if the landlord wants to occupy the property for personal use, 90 days notice is sufficient.

But the tenant insists to have a 12-month notice. What are my options and is it possible to send a legal notice to the tenant to vacate the premises at the end of the rent contract?

Kindly advise

Dear Questioner,

After reviewing your brief, According to Law No. (33) of 2008 Amending Law, Article (25):

(...For the purposes of paragraph (2) of this Article, the Landlord must notify the Tenant of the eviction reasons twelve (12) months prior to the date set for eviction, provided that this notice is given through a Notary Public or registered post. )

Kindly contact us directly on the phone or by email for a detailed discussion on your issue and help you in drafting a legal notice.

Best Regards,

The legal notice should be sent officially notarized and we need to review the contract terms you have with the tenant.

Reach us on the phone.

You can notify the tenant before three months only. It is by the law.
