Communication
Start
a dialogue with your tenant to know why the rent payments have stopped. It's
also a good time to let your tenant know that you're understanding, but you
also have your financial obligations. Let them know the repercussions of
skipping rent and why they need to pay on time. If they have no means of paying
the rent, explain that one of the options will be to terminate the lease early
with or without penalty. More so, if they refuse, a formal eviction notice will
be served.
Send Formal Notice
Under
Article 25(1) of the amendment, a landlord can demand eviction before the
tenancy contract's expiry by serving notice via notary public or registered
mail. It is a formal letter stating that the tenant has [X] days to pay rent or
the lease will be terminated, and they have to move out. This payment
notification usually gives tenants 30 days unless there are other time frames stated
in the agreement.
File Eviction Action
If
the tenant still fails to pay rent within 30 days of notification, the landlord
may file an action at the RDSC with the help of an attorney in Dubai. To
legitimately evict a tenant, one or more of the circumstances under Article
25(1) of the Tenancy Law must be present. It is worth noting that a landlord is
not allowed to lock out a tenant or turn off essential utilities while the
eviction hearing is ongoing. If you win a judgment against the tenant, that's
the only time you can evict a tenant with the sheriff's help.
