How can a new owner evict a tenant from a property for personal use?

Hi Legal Advice ME,

I have bought a villa in Dubai with a tenant in place. I would like to move into the villa as my residence. I understand that I must issue the current tenant a 12-month notice.

Can I issue the 12-month notice even though the current tenancy contract is with the old owner?

Or do I need to sign up a new tenancy agreement between myself and the tenant and then issue the 12-month notice?

Dear questioner,

You can serve notice as long as you are the new owner, however, you need to mention that and mention the reason for your eviction request.

Thank you for responding Mr. Bakheet.

Do I need to do a new EJARI?

The best option is for the old owner to give the notice.

We can do that for you.

It's supposed to be a new deal.

Hi Mr. Nasser.

Thank you for your response. Does the new deal mean new EJARI?

True, the same previous conditions apply to the old owner agreed with the tenant, and if you want to vacate the property, you must notify the tenant 90 days before the end of the contract.
