Disputing tenant's refusal to accept old landlord's rent increase notice

Dear Questioner,

Ownership transfer does not affect the legal status, meaning that the current owner replaces the previous owner in all rights and obligations.

As the current owner, you benefit from the notifications sent by the old owner.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

Engaging an advocate for legal advice in this matter is a wise step.

While the tenant may have agreed to the new rent in an email with the old owner, the issue may arise from not officially notifying the tenant within the required 90-day notice period as per Dubai Rental Law.

This discrepancy could potentially lead to disputes. Please consult with us so we can provide guidance on how to navigate this situation, possibly through negotiations or other legal remedies.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED

Hello,

Actually, you have the right to evict him but the old owner did not follow the right process.

Firstly, he should send a notice for 12 months and then, you also need to send another notice to emphasize the old notice sent by the old owner.

Please contact our office manager by WhatsApp.

Hello

You still can use the old notice of previous landlord if it was sent correctly and within the 90 days time.

If the tenant not agreed you have the right to evict him.

Hi Athira,

In your situation, since the tenant has agreed to rental increase in writing to the old landlord you can file a complaint in RERA if the rental increase is in pursuant to the Rental Index.

Yes, even though the property has been transferred to the new owner he is getting into the position of the old landlord.

So the tenant is obliged to pay the increased rent as he is agreed upon the email communication.

We will arrange a legal consultation to discuss the same and serving a legal notice to the tenant as well. Share your whatspp number if you want to go with the services.

Good morning.

Thank you for contacting Eman Al Ali Advocates and Legal Consultants.

Regarding the lease contract, whatever is issued by the old owner, whether increasing the rent or reducing the rent, applies to the new owner as well.

For further informations or consultancy you can visit us at our office or you can call us.

It should be a one-year notice for eviction.
