How to dispute an eviction notice if it was not sent properly by the landlord?

Hi Sir/Madam

My landlord filed an eviction case in RDC against me based on an email notice he sent last year.

After the first hearing, the judge asked the landlord to deposit a fee for expert opinion. The expert came to the conclusion that the email notice is valid for eviction.

When I quoted the law and was told that the email notice was not valid legally as per RERA law, the expert said that the law was not his area of expertise and gave a final report in the landlord's favor.

In such cases, does the judge usually give a verdict based on the conclusion of the expert report or the RERA law?

The expert opinion/report will be considered for the verdict.

The email notice didn't have the landlord's name and it was signed by his colleague.

Is it still considered legally binding?

His colleague is not a licensed real estate agent with a POA granted by the landlord.

The legal consequences were not mentioned in the email notice.

Dear Questioner,

According to Law, the landlord must provide the other party with a 12-month written notice through a registered mail or notary public.

You, as a tenant acknowledged it, therefore the notice shall be considered as served.

Is it still considered legally binding?

28 Sep 2023, 14:15

Was it sent from the owner's email account?

28 Sep 2023, 14:22

No, the email ID belongs to his colleague.

28 Sep 2023, 14:23

His colleague is not a real estate agent nor authorized by the landlord.

28 Sep 2023, 14:27

Then you need to dispute it in court and appeal if you are not going to be satisfied with the decision.

Best Regards
