A property is subleased without landlord's consent. How to evict subtenant?
Dear Consultant,
Good morning!
I have a rented property in Dubai. In March 2024, when I went to visit my flat, I found a subtenant inside. He informed me that he rented from "my tenant" and is paying on a monthly basis.
This occurred without my consent, and his cheques return unpaid. I have heard from my friend about many options to vacate my unit and sue the original tenant.
I would appreciate your advice on the subject matter as a consultant.
Many thanks!
Hi,
You have two options:
1. You may give him 30 days' notice to pay the due rent. If he doesn’t comply with this, then you may file an eviction case.
2- File an eviction case based on the subleasing without permission, however, you have to prove this by documents or expert or any other way to the court.
