Do I need to give a new eviction notice to the tenant after purchasing an apartment?

Hello,

I am about to buy a rented apartment in Dubai. The current owner issued an eviction notice to the tenant around 9 months ago, giving them 12 months to leave the property.

The reason mentioned in the notice is to sell the apartment.

If I buy the apartment now, does the eviction notice transfer to me and the tenant will be forced to leave on the same date?

Or do I need to issue another eviction notice to the tenant, giving them another 12 months to leave?

Thanks!

Yes, he will move for you and he will have to evacuate within the specified period.

Thank you very much for your quick reply!

After buying the new property, what should I do?

Do I need to issue another legal notice for the remaining months?

Or simply wait for the lapse of the initial 12 months eviction notice sent by the current owner?

What are the right procedures after buying the property?

Thank you!

Wait until the end of the period with sending your data mail to the store and confirming the evacuation date.
