The UAE real estate market is fast, lucrative, and occasionally contentious. When a landlord-tenant relationship sours—whether over an illegal rent hike, a security deposit "disappearing," or an unfair eviction notice—the emotional and financial toll can be massive. Rental Dispute Resolution is our specialized arm dedicated to restoring balance. We operate within the strict frameworks of RERA and the Rental Dispute Center (RDC) to ensure that the law, not just leverage, dictates the outcome.
In 2026, the laws have become even more granular. With the new Ajman Rental Dispute Resolution Centre and Dubai’s Sitr Initiative (providing relief for distressed cases), the landscape for conflict resolution has shifted toward "Amicable Conciliation." We represent both sides of the coin. For tenants, we challenge rent increases that exceed the RERA Index and fight "personal use" evictions that lack the mandatory 12-month notarized notice. For landlords, we facilitate the legal recovery of properties from defaulting tenants and handle the complexities of commercial lease breaches where contractual terms are king.
A court case is a drain on time and resources. Our primary goal is Amicable Settlement. We act as the professional buffer, initiating mediation under the supervision of RDC conciliators. We know exactly which documents—from the Ejari to dated correspondence—will turn the tide of a case. If mediation fails, we provide the "legal heavy lifting," preparing the formal claim, handling the tele-litigation hearings, and ensuring that any judgment is actually enforced. We don't just win arguments; we resolve problems.
We live and breathe the RERA Index and the UAE Civil Transactions Law.
We remove the emotion from the dispute, communicating professionally to reach a settlement.
We use the latest market data and legal precedents to predict the RDC's likely ruling.
Case Assessment: We review your lease, Ejari, and all correspondence to determine your legal standing.
Formal Notice: If required, we draft and serve a notarized legal notice to the opposing party.
Mediation/Conciliation: We attempt to reach a settlement through the RDC’s amicable department to save you time.
Claim Filing: If settlement fails, we file the formal dispute, paying the 3.5% court fees and submitting evidence.
Hearing & Enforcement: We represent you in the RDC hearings and, once a judgment is issued, handle the enforcement file.
