1. Amenities Fees: Are Tenants Required to Pay?

The Dubai’s Law No. (26) of 2007 regulates the relationship between landlords and tenants. According to this law, tenants are generally not obligated to pay extra fees for amenities like swimming pools, gyms, or parking. As these costs are usually included in the rent. However, if there is a separate written agreement that states tenants must pay for these services, it may be enforceable.

2. Renewal Fees

Typically, the renewal fee is often an administrative charge for extending the rental contract.It falls on the tenant unless the rental agreement states otherwise. Tenants should carefully review their contracts to understand any additional fees they might be responsible for.

3. Eviction Notice and Rights

As per Article 25 of the same law, landlords can request eviction when the tenancy contract expires. They can also request eviction if they plan to use the property for personal use or for a first-degree relative. However, certain conditions must be fulfilled:

  • Proof of Intent: The landlord must show that they do not have another suitable property available for this purpose.
  • 12-Month Notice Requirement: The landlord is required to give the tenant at least 12 months’ written notice. This notice period allows tenants to prepare for their move without unexpected issues.
  • Alternative Property Clause: If the landlord possesses another suitable property, they cannot invoke this clause.

Legal Recourse for Tenants

Dubai’s Rent Disputes Settlement Centre provides a platform to resolve such disputes. Tenants can approach the RDSC to file a case. They can reclaim any incorrectly charged fees. They are free to contest the legality of the eviction notice.

Dubai’s landlord-tenant laws aim to provide clarity and fairness. It ensures that both parties are aware of their rights and obligations. As a tenant, staying informed on these legalities can help prevent unexpected fees. It can also protect tenants from premature evictions.
