Landlords ‘bending rules on eviction notices’ in Dubai to get higher rents – The National

People living in Dubai have criticised unscrupulous landlords who are manipulating rules to evict tenants — only to re-rent the homes at far higher rates.

The practice has become common due to a surge in rental rates since the end of the pandemic.

Dubai government regulations require landlords to serve an eviction notice of 12 months and then either move in themselves or sell the property.
