Resolving landlord-tenant disputes in Dubai through the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre (RDC). From unlawful evictions to rent increase challenges, we protect your property rights.
Dubai tenancy relationships are governed by Law No. 26 of 2007 (as amended by Law No. 33 of 2008) and regulated by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA). The Rental Dispute Settlement Centre (RDC) has exclusive jurisdiction over tenancy disputes in Dubai.
Key protections include: landlords cannot evict tenants without legal grounds, rent increases must follow the RERA Rental Index Calculator, and tenants have the right to renew leases unless specific conditions apply.
LexBridge provides comprehensive representation before the RDC, from initial filing through appeal, ensuring your rights as landlord or tenant are fully protected under Dubai law.

Dubai law strictly limits the grounds on which a landlord can evict a tenant. Valid grounds include: personal use by the landlord or first-degree relatives, property demolition or major renovation, and sale of the property.
Landlords must provide 12 months written notice via notary public for eviction at lease end. During the lease term, eviction is only permitted for non-payment (30 days after notice), illegal use, or subletting without permission.
LexBridge has extensive experience defending tenants against unlawful eviction attempts and advising landlords on proper legal procedures to avoid costly RDC disputes.
