Property & Tenancy at Mithaq
Whether you are a tenant who has received an eviction notice or a landlord whose tenant is behind on rent, we start by reading the contract, the notices and the correspondence, then explain your position under Dubai’s tenancy law and the options you have: an amicable settlement, a formal notice, or a dispute before the competent authority.
We also review property purchase contracts before you sign, follow transfers of ownership and disputes with developers, and draft tenancy contracts and addenda in language that protects both sides.
Matters we handle in this area
- Reviewing tenancy contracts before you sign
- Rent increases and renewals
- Eviction notices and their notice periods
- Rental disputes before the competent authority
- Reviewing property purchase contracts
- Disputes with developers and owners’ associations
The list is illustrative; after the consultation your lawyer tells you what applies to your case.

Common questions
Client questions on
Property & Tenancy.
Ready to book?
Choose the lawyer, the day, the time and the way you want to consult in under a minute, and we confirm within one working hour.
I received a notice to vacate my flat. What should I do?
Don’t ignore it and don’t sign anything before we read it: whether a notice is valid depends on its reason, how it was served and its notice period. Bring the contract and the notice, and we explain your position at the consultation.
Can the landlord raise the rent on renewal?
Yes, within the limits set by Dubai’s official rental index and with notice given before the contract ends. We check the increase asked of you against the rules.
I am a landlord and my tenant is behind on rent. What are my options?
We usually start with a written demand and an attempt to settle, then move to formal steps if needed. We explain the stages and their approximate costs before we start.
Do you review purchase contracts before I pay?
Yes, and we always recommend it: we go through the payment, handover, delay and cancellation terms and explain them before you sign.
These answers are general information, not legal advice; every case depends on its own details.
