Understanding Legal Notices in Dubai
Dubai’s legal framework operates under strict regulations to maintain fairness between landlords and tenants. A key aspect of this framework is the issuance of legal notices, which are essential for enforcing rights and obligations. Below, we break down the different types of legal notices we handle, their requirements, and the supporting documents needed.
Types of Legal Notices We Handle
- Eviction Notices
Eviction notices are crucial for landlords wishing to terminate a tenancy contract. These notices must meet specific legal criteria to be valid.
Types of Eviction Notices:
- Non-Renewal of Tenancy Contract:
Landlords must provide a 90-day written notice if they do not wish to renew a tenancy. Valid reasons include selling the property, personal use, or major renovations. The notice must clearly state the reason for non-renewal to avoid invalidation.
Supporting Documents Required:
- Landlord’s EID (or passport)
- Tenant’s EID (or passport)
- Tenancy Contract
- Title Deed (to prove ownership)
- Eviction for Non-Payment of Rent:
If a tenant fails to pay rent, landlords must issue a 30-day notice to settle the dues. If the tenant does not comply, the landlord can proceed with eviction notice to be served to the tenant.
Supporting Documents Required:
- Landlord’s EID (or passport)
- Tenant’s EID (or passport)
- Tenancy Contract
- Bounced Cheques (or any relevant proof of non-payment)
- Eviction for Violation of Tenancy Terms:
Tenants who breach the tenancy contract—such as by subletting without permission, causing damage, or engaging in illegal activities—can be issued an eviction notice. The notice must specify the violation and allow a reasonable period for resolution.
Supporting Documents Required:
- Landlord’s EID (or passport)
- Tenant’s EID (or passport)
- Tenancy Contract
- Evidence of Violation (e.g., photos, witness statements, or police reports)
- Eviction for Personal Use or Property Sale:
Landlords can evict tenants for personal use or to sell the property, but a 12-month notice is required. Supporting evidence, such as a sale agreement or sworn affidavit, must be included.
Supporting Documents Required:
- Landlord’s EID (or passport)
- Tenant’s EID (or passport)
- Tenancy Contract
- Title Deed
- Eviction for Demolition or Renovation:
If a property is slated for demolition or major renovations, landlords must provide a 12-month notice with details of the planned work.
Supporting Documents Required:
- Landlord’s EID (or passport)
- Tenant’s EID (or passport)
- Tenancy Contract
- Title Deed
- Approval from Relevant Authorities (for demolition or renovation plans)
- Other Legal Notices
In addition to eviction notices, POA & More assists with:
- Rent Increase Notices: Ensuring compliance with Dubai’s rental laws.
- Termination Notices for Breach of Contract: Addressing failures to meet tenancy obligations.

Key Considerations for Legal Notices
- Legal Compliance: Notices must align with Dubai’s rental laws, including Law No. 26 of 2007 and its amendments.
- Notice Periods: Ensure the correct notice period is provided based on the reason for the eviction.
- Proper Delivery: Notices must be delivered through registered mail or other legally recognized methods.
- Dispute Resolution: Disputes are resolved through the RDSC, where both parties file their case.
