How can the tenant make a settlement with the landlord for unpaid rent?
Dear Sir,
I haven't paid rent to my landlord since Feb '21 till date. The contract expired on Nov '21. I have been staying since then without a contract.
While my phone calls - were disconnected since Dec '21, I did not hear from the landlord via Whatsapp or e-mail as well. And I also did not contact him.
Today the landlord came and said that the court people came 2 months ago, to check if I was there. However the building management say they never were asked by any people about my whereabouts.
My landlord says he wants me to vacate within 2 days. Pending rent is for 13 months. 9 months of the contract period and four months of non-contract period.
Today I paid him 25,000 and tomorrow we will draw up an agreement plan for the balance payment of AED 67,000.
The landlord has AED 13,000 of my deposit with him. Can I request a 30 days eviction period from the landlord?
As I have not gotten any formal notice as yet. I know i am still in the wrong.
Please advise.
Thank you
