A tenant sublets an apartment. What can the landlord do?

Dear sir/madam,

Our tenant in Dubai has sublet our studio apartment to bachelors (four females staying in the studio unit). We have also confirmed this with inspection with the government and they have confirmed it is indeed four females living there and they provided us with a report.

How long does it take to evict and break the contract early? In addition, can the tenant seek compensation from the landlord?

Hello,

16 Aug 2022, 20:56

Yes, you can terminate the contract early because sub-lease is illegal.

Do we need to pay the tenant back the remainder of the contract?

16 Aug 2022, 23:43

This depends on the terms of the contract between you.

To send the contract and know the details, please contact us via WhatsApp.

Dear questioner,

Yes, you can file a case to evacuate it.

The tenant will pay the fees but he will get the remaining period.
