A tenant offers to pay rent after 30-day notice: What are my options?
Dear Sir/Madam,
Rental dispute with my tenant. Timeline of events:
1. Cheque due date: June 8, 2023.
2. Gave him 25 days as requested.
3. Raised a formal police complaint for a bounced cheque (as the account was closed/fraud) on July 3, 2023.
4. Again asked him to pay up or vacate; he asked for more time and I gave him more time.
5. Sent him a formal 30-day legal notice to pay and vacate the property on August 2, 2023.
6. On August 24, he called me to offer a partial payment; I said he had to pay in full by the due date.
7. On August 25, I received the RDC notice of offer and deposit, in which he stated the following: "The applicant requests your kind approval to accept an offer and deposit a cash amount of AED XXX in exchange for the rental value."
If I accept the notice, how much time will he be given by the court to pay the amount?
If I reject the offer, what will be the implications?
Can I still open a case against him to vacate the unit when the 30-day legal notice expires on September 1?
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.
If you accept the RDC notice from the tenant, the court might set a specific time frame for the tenant to pay the offered amount.
Rejecting the offer could lead to continued legal proceedings, impacting negotiations.
If the tenant doesn't fulfill their obligations by the expiration of the 30-day legal notice on 1st September, you might consider legal action for eviction.

Dear Questioner,
If you accept, the tenant has to pay the amount within days.
If he doesn't make any payment, then your notice will be still valid.
