Landlord & Tenant Law

Landlord and tenant relationships in the UAE - particularly in Dubai - are governed by a specific legal framework under which both parties have clearly defined rights and obligations. Understanding where you stand under that framework is essential whether you are a landlord managing a portfolio or a tenant dealing with an unreasonable landlord.

We advise landlords on lawful eviction procedures, rent increase compliance, lease drafting and enforcement, and recovery of unpaid rent. We advise tenants on their rights in relation to unlawful eviction, maintenance obligations, unreasonable rent increases, and deposit recovery. In both cases, we pursue outcomes through the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre efficiently and effectively.
