At HHS Lawyers, with deep knowledge of Dubai’s tenancy laws, our expert rental dispute lawyers handle various rental disputes with utmost care and accuracy. These include:
The most common of rental dispute cases in Dubai is failing to pay the rent on time by tenants. We assist landlords with the filing of complaints and initiating eviction actions, if applicable. If tenants wish, we negotiate repayment terms and protect them against unfair eviction.
Where rental agreement termination is concerned, we ensure that eviction notices, which are granted or served, are in accord with Dubai Tenancy Law. These include disputes with regard to short notice periods, illegal evictions, or evictions carried out for other purposes like property sales or for the personal use of the landlord.
When breaches occur, such as the unauthorized subletting of the property, improper use of the property, or delay in maintenance under the tenancy agreement by any party, disputes arise. We resolve tenancy agreement disputes amicably or through litigation when necessary.
Tenants are often faced with issues when the owner unfairly withholds the security deposit. Our lawyers assist in recovering withheld amount, or we defend the landlords from unjust claims.
Many disagreements arise when there is ambiguity regarding the party responsible for carrying out repairs on the property. We provide legal guidance and negotiation support aimed at solving disputes accordingly to the tenancy contract and RERA guidelines.
Where either party intends to terminate the lease contract before the expiry of the agreed period, our legal team will ensure that the lawful termination procedure is followed, including the notice requirements and penalties, if applicable.
According to the rental laws of Dubai, every increment in rent is subject to the RERA Rental Index. If there is an unlawful increase in your rent or you are a landlord seeking assistance on how to issue a legal increase, we can facilitate the proper legal processes that will address the matter.
Misuse of property, overcrowding, or the conversion of residential property into commercial use can result in disputes. We advise both landlords and tenants on their rights and assist in settling such disputes.
