Questions & Answers
I agreed last year by email with my tenant to vacate and now he refuses. How to evict him?
Dear Sir/Madam
Last year there was a mutual agreement with my tenant via email to terminate the tenancy contract this year.
However, the tenant wants to renew for another year due to a change in his circumstances.
Do I need to send a 30-day judicial notification for breach of contract before filing an eviction case in RDC?
On what legal grounds can I file an eviction case if the tenant doesn't honor a mutual agreement via email?
Hello,
If the tenant acknowledges eviction through email, he is bound by his commitment.
You can file an eviction lawsuit based on this acknowledgment from the tenant, as long as the acknowledgment is valid, without coercion, and issued after signing the tenancy contract and during the term of the lease relationship.
Many judgments from the Rent Committee support that.
Dear Client,
Thanks for your question, I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.
If your tenant wishes to renew the tenancy contract after a mutual agreement to terminate was documented via email, consider sending a formal 30-day judicial notification to confirm your intent to terminate the tenancy as per the agreement.
If the tenant still refuses to vacate, you may file an eviction case in the Rental Disputes Center (RDC) on the grounds of "breach of contract" due to non-compliance with the mutual agreement.
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.

Thanks & Regards

Better settle the matter amicably with the tenant before moving legally, otherwise, serve 12 months' notice as per the rental laws.
If the matter is taken to court, the court may or may not consider this situation according to the contract but the rental laws.
You will have to send a notice of non-renewal to the tenant one month before the expiry of the tenancy contract.
If he doesn't vacate the premises, you will have to file a case with the Rental Dispute Committee for resolution.
We will be happy to assist you in this regard. Please contact us by phone or email.
You must send a legal notice for eviction referring to your agreement and then for breach of contract.
Further, you need to make sure that the email agreement was before the registration of the Ejari or I would need to review the agreement by email.
Let me know if you want me to draft the legal notice for you in this case.
Feel free to reach out to me by phone.
