Is an eviction notice sent via email only valid?
Dear Sir/Madam,
My landlord has sent me an eviction notice via email only as per below:
Dear Sir,
Please Move out of my apartment after 12 months as I will live there.

As far as I know, they need to serve a formal notarized notice, delivered by Aramex, Emirates Post, or any registered mail/postal services for us to vacate the property.
Can we stay because he didn't send the notarized notice through postal services?
Or should we vacate the property?
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.
In the UAE, a formal eviction notice should be notarized and sent through registered mail or postal services.
If your landlord sent an eviction notice only via email, you may want to consult with The Rental Dispute Center (RDC) to understand your rights and options regarding vacating the property.

Dear Questioner,
Stay at the property until the end of your contract, then request your landlord to serve you an official notarized legal notice of eviction upon his request for you to evict.
