Questions & Answers
Can the landlord give me a two-month eviction notice to sell the apartment?
Dear Sir
I have been living in an apartment in Dubai for the last few years. A few months ago, my contract expired and I asked the landlord to renew it.
I was told by the building management that he has not paid his service charges for the last few months and he has been blocked on the DLD system and cannot renew till he clears his dues.
I continued to pay rent as per the old contract without any arrears. He kept promising that he would clear his dues with the building management but has not done it.
Recently he told me that he is going to sell the property and I should vacate the premises within 2 months. He did not give me the proper 1-year notice.
What are my options?
Am I required to leave within 2 months as the owner wishes?
I would be grateful if you could kindly advise.
Many thanks
