Dear Questioner,
If there is an error in the Arabic portion of the tenancy contract dates while the English portion is correct, it could potentially affect the legal validity of the notice sent to your tenant.
In legal matters, accuracy and clarity are crucial, and discrepancies between different versions of a contract can lead to confusion or disputes.
Here are steps you can take to address this issue:
1. Consult with a Lawyer:
Seek legal advice from a qualified lawyer in the UAE who specializes in property and tenancy law. They can review the notice and the tenancy contract, assess the implications of the error, and provide guidance on the best course of action.
2. Review the Notice:
Review the legal notice that was sent to your tenant to determine if the error in the Arabic portion of the contract dates could potentially impact its legal validity. If there are other errors or inconsistencies, address them as well.
3. Consider Resending the Notice:
Depending on the advice of your lawyer and the severity of the error, you may consider resending the legal notice to your tenant with the correct information. Ensure that both the Arabic and English portions of the contract dates are accurate this time.
4. Notify the Court:
If you choose to resend the notice, you may also need to notify the court or relevant authorities about the correction to ensure that the legal proceedings are conducted accurately and in compliance with the law.
5. Document Everything:
Keep detailed records of all communications, notices, and legal proceedings related to the eviction process. This documentation can be crucial if the matter escalates or if there are disputes in the future.
It's essential to address the error promptly and ensure that all legal documents and notices are accurate and legally valid to avoid any potential complications or challenges in the eviction process.
Dear Questioner,
Thank you for reaching out with your concern regarding the legal notice sent to your tenant for eviction!
The discrepancy in the dates between the Arabic and English portions of the tenancy contract is an important issue that needs to be addressed promptly.
Given that the official language for legal proceedings in Dubai is Arabic, any errors in the Arabic text could potentially affect the validity of the notice. It is advisable to correct these inaccuracies to avoid any complications in court.
I recommend sending a corrected legal notice to ensure clarity and compliance with legal requirements.
As your attorney, I can assist you in drafting and sending the revised notice to ensure all details are accurate and properly documented.
