Abu Dhabi and Dubai tenants protected from eviction amid the coronavirus epidemic – The National

Abu Dhabi and Dubai tenants protected from eviction amid the coronavirus epidemic. Abu Dhabi has banned eviction cases for two months while the Dubai Land Department says landlord's 'moral standards' will prevent residents being asked to vacate. Tenants struggling to pay their rent as a result of the pandemic should be protected "by the moral standards of landlords in Dubai", according to the Dubai Land Department, as residents in Abu Dhabi are exempted from eviction and developers unveil initiatives to ease costs for those renting or owning property.. No case has been filed as a direct result of the virus, the DLD told The National on Tuesday, and the government body said it will work to solve issues as they arise. When the threat of the virus subsides, we are certain that any additional measure that may be introduced would cater to both tenants and landlords.. "The government is consistently seeking measures to make everyone secure and happy, and matters of eviction are not ones we would prefer to delve into at this time," it said.. Real estate agents confirmed that landlords are already being flexible with tenants struggling financially.. Listen: Pocketful of Dirhams: How to handle rents,
