كيف يمكن الاستمرار في استئجار شقة بينما أرسل المالك إشعارًا بالإخلاء؟

أعزائي،

أعيش في شقة في نخلة جميرا. يبلغ متوسط السعر حوالي 250,000 درهم إماراتي، وقد استأجرتها لمدة عامين بمبلغ 140,000 درهم (جددت هذا العام بمبلغ 147,000 درهم).

عند التجديد، كان من الواضح أن المالكة محبطة للغاية لأنني قمت بالتأجير بسعر أقل من متوسط السوق. لذا، وكما هو متوقع، أرسلت لي إخطارًا قانونيًا (من المحكمة) تطلب مني فيه إخلاء الشقة في نهاية هذا العام، أي بعد 12 شهرًا من الآن، أغسطس 2023.

تقول في الإشعار إنها تريد بيع الشقة، لكنني متأكدة بنسبة 100% من أنها تريد فقط إخراجي وتأجيرها مرة أخرى بسعر أعلى.

أنا مهتم جدًا بالبقاء في الشقة لمدة عام آخر؛ حتى أوائل عام 2024، أو للتجديد لمدة عام آخر، ولكن وفقًا للإشعار، يتعين علينا المغادرة بحلول أغسطس 2023.

أنا على استعداد للذهاب إلى المحكمة إذا كان هناك أي شيء يمكنني القيام به.

شكراً جزيلاً.

Dear client,

Thanks for your query!

I am happy to assist you with this.

You can take the legal route. but, as per law, the landlord can send a notice of evacuation. If you want to win the case, you have to preset strong reasons and proof to claim your right.

Good luck!

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

What happens if she doesn't sell the apartment, and she is just lying?

Can she rent it? Or she will not be able to rent before 12 months?

Dear sir,

Kindly be advised that you will have to follow the legal notice served by the landlord, however, if you found out that the landlord rented the apartment other than using it personally or selling it, you still have the priority to occupy the apartment for one more year by simply report her to RDC and attach the legal notice.

OK fair enough! One more clarification, please:

My renewal happened on Aug 2nd, 2022.

She sent me a legal letter yesterday dated Aug 31st, 2022, asking me to leave at the next renewal which is Aug 2nd, 2023.

In my opinion, that's not 12 months' notice. Does that make the notice invalid?

It depends on the judge's sole discretion since it was done during August, but I advise you to challenge the notice on August 23.

Hi sir,

As per the law, you need to vacate the property as per the notice. However, if after vacating the property you get to know the property is not sold, you can proceed to RDC and file the complaint against him with all the supporting documents.
