I bought a property and served the tenant an eviction notice. Can I renew his contract only until notice expiry?

Hi,

I bought a property in Dubai in November last year and post transfer, I gave the tenant a 1-year notice to vacate the property as I wanted to occupy it.

The current Ejari expires in May. I gave the tenant the option to renew until the end of the notice period i.e. up to next December, however, the tenant wants to renew for 1 more year.

I need to move in in December, what can I do in this situation?

Thanks

Dear questioner

If the tenant is not accepting the renewed contract until December then, you have the right to evict in a manner either through immediate eviction for non-payment of rent or filing a case in RDC for effectuating the eviction notice sent by you.
