Is a new tenancy contract required if there are a few months left until the end of eviction notice?

I was served an eviction notice in November 2023. The contract terminates in August 2024.

Do I need to sign a new contract for 3 months or will it automatically renew until November 2024?

Do I have to pay the agent again for this contract?

Greetings.

You do not have to renew the lease or pay anything, and this period is considered an extension of the old contract.

You only have to pay the monthly rent.

Hi.

Yes, you will need to re-sign a new contract indicating the dates. You would not have to pay the agent as you are still interacting with the same landlord.

However, it is up to negotiation and possibly contractual terms. If you agreed contractually to pay the agent a percentage on every renewal you might be subject to such payment. Otherwise, you wouldn't need to.

If the contract has ended and the landlord has not objected, and you remained in the property, the contract automatically renews until November without the need for signing a new contract.

Thank you for reaching out with your query about the eviction notice and contract renewal!

Based on your situation, since your current contract terminates in August 2024, the renewal terms will depend on the specific clauses in your lease agreement and local Dubai rental laws.

Typically, contracts do not automatically renew for partial terms unless explicitly stated in the agreement. You may need to sign a new contract for the additional three months if both parties agree to extend the lease until November 2024.

Regarding the agent’s fee, it often depends on the terms stipulated in your original agreement. If a new contract is required, an additional agent fee might apply, but this can be negotiated.

To provide you with precise advice tailored to your lease agreement and to discuss your options in more detail, please feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp or phone at [-------]. You can also email me at [-------].
