A landlord sent a screenshot of a judicial warning to vacate without a reason. Is this acceptable?
Q: Dear Lawyers, I just renewed our rent for a third year on September 4th. Today, October 11th, the landlord sent a screenshot through the agent, apparently from the Dubai Court, stating a judicial warning to vacate the property in 12 months, without mentioning a reason for the eviction. I thought eviction letters should be sent by mail for the tenant to receive them personally. Am I correct, or is it acceptable for the landlord to send this screenshot via WhatsApp? Thank you in advance!
