Dubai 12-month eviction notice: sale, personal use or demolition
Post-expiry eviction for specified statutory reasons is a high-stakes process. The stated ground, twelve-month timing, formal service and later use of the property must all be checked against the current law and evidence.
Apply the framework to the real facts.
Do not issue or rely on a generic notice. Preserve the title, tenancy documents, reason, notary or registered-mail evidence and the intended possession date, then obtain licensed legal review.
Timing and service must be separated.
Period: At least twelve months before the eviction date for the specified statutory grounds.
Service method: Notary Public or registered mail for the statutory grounds described by the tenancy law.
Use the current official rule and the actual contract before action. This page does not validate a notice already sent.
