What are the procedures and costs for a notarized eviction notice, and can it be done online?

Dear Lawyers,

The procedures and cost to send a notarized eviction notice to my tenant. Is an in-person visit required to the lawyer's office, or are online options available?

The tenancy contract renewal was done about 2 months ago, so can the 12-month notice period be outside of the present contract end date?

Dear questioner,

Yes, you can do all the procedures online. Even with a 12-month notice outside the contract, you can still add addendum agreements for these non-contract periods.

To discuss this further, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

It can be done online. The notice must be for 12 months.

There's no issue if the contract ends before the notice period is over.

If the tenant does not vacate the property after the contract ends and insists on staying for an additional two months, you have the right to request rent payment for those additional two months.

Thanks, what is the approximate cost for this process?

3 Sep 2024, 10:39

An eviction notice costs between 300 to 400 AED, and if the tenant does not understand Arabic, there is an additional approximately 200 AED to translate the notice into English.

If you choose to do this through a lawyer, the lawyer's fees are agreed upon between the parties, and there is no fixed amount for all lawyers.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry regarding the eviction notice for your tenant.

To address your questions:

- Procedure and Cost:

The process of sending a notarized eviction notice typically involves drafting the notice, getting it notarized, and then serving it to the tenant.

The cost can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the specific requirements, such as the method of serving the notice. I can provide you with a detailed quote after reviewing your tenancy contract and specific situation.

- In-Person vs. Online:

You don’t necessarily need to visit my office in person. We can handle the entire process online, including consultations and document submissions, ensuring convenience and efficiency.

- 12 Months Notice Period:

As per Dubai rental laws, if a landlord wishes to evict a tenant for reasons such as selling the property or for personal use, a 12-month notice must be given, and this notice must be sent through a notary public.

The notice period can indeed extend beyond the current contract end date, but it needs to comply with the legal requirements to be enforceable.

I recommend discussing the details of your case further to ensure the eviction notice is properly handled.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly via WhatsApp or phone at [-------], or you can email me at [-------].

I look forward to assisting you.

Best regards,

Suhail Rana

Dear Questioner,

To send a notarized eviction notice to your tenant in Dubai, you need to follow specific procedures. Here's a concise overview of the process and associated costs:

1. Procedure to Send a Notarized Eviction Notice:

- Review the Tenancy Contract: Ensure you understand the terms and conditions regarding eviction and notice periods.

- Draft the Eviction Notice: Create a formal eviction notice that includes the tenant's details, property address, reason for eviction, any legal references, and the period for which the tenant must vacate (in accordance with the law).

- Notarization: Take the drafted eviction notice to a public notary. You will need to provide identification and any supporting documents related to the tenancy.

- Cost: Notarization fees in Dubai can vary, but you might expect to pay around AED 200–500 depending on the notary's location and additional services.

- Serve the Notice: After notarization, you must serve the notice to the tenant. This can be done in person by delivering it personally; through a recognized courier service, or by registered mail, which is often considered a valid method of serving legal documents.

2. Lawyer's Office Visits:

- In-Person vs. Online Options: Many lawyers in Dubai offer both in-person consultations and online services. You can inquire with your lawyer if they provide virtual meetings to discuss the eviction notice and any legal advice. You may contact us via phone or email.

3. Notice Period and Tenancy Contract:

- Notice Period Validity: The requirement for a 12-month notice period typically applies if you wish to terminate a tenancy contract that has been renewed. However, since you just renewed the contract two months ago, you should adhere to the terms outlined in that contract regarding termination or eviction.

- Generally, most tenancy laws in Dubai require landlords to respect the duration of the current lease, which means a notice to terminate should align with the contract's end date unless specific conditions apply, such as breaches by the tenant.
