If I buy a building, can I sue a tenant for old rent owed to the previous owner?

Dear Client,

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

If you purchase a building in the UAE that includes tenants with outstanding rent dues from the previous owner, you generally inherit the existing lease agreements and the associated rights and obligations as the new landlord.

This means you may have the right to pursue any unpaid rent from the tenants as per the terms of the existing leases.

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 be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED

Good Evening,

It depends on the contract or the agreement between the buyer and the seller whether you are buying the property with all its rights and liabilities or what arises after the sale.

Kind Regards,
