Handling landlord's notice to vacate my apartment in Ajman at the end of my lease
Dear Lawyers,
My apartment lease contract in Ajman ends on 09-Dec-2024.
The landlord has served me a notice through the Ministry of Justice, stating their unwillingness to renew the contract and requesting that I vacate the property at the end of the lease.

Dear Questioner,
If there is a case of eviction stipulated in the law, such as non-payment of rent or something similar, the owner has the right to send a 90-day legal notice to vacate the unit.

Dear Questioner,
Ensure that the notice adheres to the Ajman Rental Law, particularly regarding the notice period. The landlord must give at least 90 days' notice before the lease's end, as per Ajman laws.
Review your lease contract for any specific clauses regarding non-renewal, termination, or vacating the property.
Some contracts may outline specific terms for the end of the lease. If you believe the landlord did not follow proper procedures or you wish to negotiate an extension, you can attempt to negotiate with the landlord.
If that fails, you may approach the Rental Dispute Committee in Ajman for resolution.

Dear Questioner,
The landlord has no right to evict you from the apartment except in cases stipulated in the rental law of the Emirate of Ajman.
You must know the reason for the eviction request written in the warning so that we can know the extent of the landlord’s right not to renew the contract.
In the UAE, if your landlord has served you a notice of unwillingness to renew the lease, there are specific procedures and rights you should be aware of:
- Notice Period:
In Ajman, the landlord must typically provide you with a written notice at least 90 days before the lease ends if they do not wish to renew it.
If you received this notice well in advance of your lease's expiration, it may be compliant with local regulations.
- Tenant Rights:
You have the right to continue occupying the apartment until the lease officially ends on December 9, 2024, provided you adhere to the terms of the lease.
- Lease Renewal: If you wish to renew the lease, you should communicate with your landlord. Depending on the terms of your lease and local laws, they may be open to negotiation.
- Dispute Resolution:
If you believe the notice is unjust or there are other disputes, you can file a complaint with the Rent Dispute Settlement Committee in Ajman.
- Preparing to Move:
If you plan to vacate, ensure you do so by the lease end date. Conduct a move-out inspection with your landlord to address any potential disputes regarding the security deposit.
- Legal Advice:
It’s wise to consult with a legal professional familiar with UAE property law to understand your rights and obligations better.
