Is the tenant obliged to leave the property after selling it to another owner?

Hi there,

I am renting a property with the contract expiring on Oct 1, 2022. Apparently, the property was sold and so far I have not received any official information.

As far as I was able to understand, according to Dubai law, I will be entitled to stay in the property for 1 calendar year from the day I will be formally informed that the property has been sold. Is this correct?

Selling the property does not affect the lease agreement, you can complete your contract.
