How this practice area works
Tenancy disputes in Dubai are decided at the Rental Dispute Center, and the outcome usually depends less on who is right in principle and more on whose case was filed with the correct evidence bundle, the correct notice periods, and the correct procedural steps. We represent both landlords pursuing eviction or rent recovery and tenants defending against unfair terms, preparing the case file, calculating the RDC fee, and arguing the matter at hearing. Alongside dispute work we handle the paperwork that prevents disputes from starting: Ejari registration and renewal, and clause-by-clause review of a lease before either party signs it. When a judgment is issued in your favour, we do not consider the file closed until enforcement has actually taken place, because a judgment on paper is not the same as a resolved matter.

Why clients use this desk
Represented at hearing
We attend hearings, submit memoranda of defence, and follow enforcement through once a judgment is issued.
Ejari handled correctly
Registration, renewal and correction of Ejari contracts, including fixing errors left by a previous registration.
Leases reviewed before signature
Clause-by-clause review flags unusual terms and suggests practical amendments while there is still room to negotiate.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to file a case at the Rental Dispute Center?
RDC fees are calculated as a percentage of the claim value, subject to a minimum and maximum set by the authority. We calculate the exact fee for your case and include it in the written quote before filing.
How long does an RDC case usually take to reach judgment?
Straightforward rent disputes can be resolved in a matter of weeks, while contested eviction or compensation claims typically take longer depending on the hearing schedule and whether either party appeals.
How much notice does a landlord need to give before eviction?
UAE tenancy law generally requires twelve months' written notice for eviction on grounds such as sale or personal use, served through notary or registered mail. We prepare and serve this notice correctly so it holds up if the matter reaches the RDC.
Do you handle Ejari renewal even if you did not register the original contract?
Yes. We take over Ejari renewals and corrections regardless of who registered the original contract, and fix any discrepancies we find in the existing record.
