Tenancy

Your rights as a tenant in Dubai

Ask a question in your own words. We answer from the published legislation and show you the article it came from, so you can check it yourself.

Ask about your tenancy
What this covers

Rent increases

How much a landlord may raise the rent on renewal, and how far in advance they have to tell you.

Eviction

The grounds a landlord can rely on during a tenancy and at its end, and the notice each one requires.

Renewal

Changing the terms of a contract, and what happens after a landlord takes the property back for their own use.

Answers are quoted from Decree No. (43) of 2013 and Law No. (26) of 2007 as amended by Law No. (33) of 2008, both published by the Government of Dubai. Where the legislation does not settle a question, we say so rather than fill the gap — a dispute is decided by the Rental Disputes Centre.
