To ensure that the landlord&#8217;s rights in Dubai are not violated, both parties must register the tenant contract with Ejari.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being stated, below are the landlord rights in Dubai that every tenant must understand before moving into a rented home. Dubai tenancy laws govern these landlord rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Right_to_Rental_Income\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right to Rental Income<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Landlords have the right to demand rent from tenants as per the agreed terms and conditions outlined in the lease agreement. The tenant must also pay for the utilities such as water, electricity or gas connection. The tenants can not change the property unless the landlord approves it. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to RERA regulation, if the current rent is 11 to 20% less than the Emirate&#8217;s average rent, the landlord can raise the rent by 5%. However, it will be determined in line with the RERA calculator. Rent can also be increased upon lease renewal, but in that case, the tenants are supposed to be officially notified three months in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Right_to_Eviction\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right to Eviction<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If tenants violate the terms of their rental agreement, the landlord has the authority to ask them to vacate the property. As per Articles 25 and 26, if the tenant fails to pay rent within thirty days of being notified, the landlord may issue an eviction notice. There are several other reasons as well that might lead to an eviction notice. Damaging the property or making changes to the property without the knowledge of the landlord, property being used for illegal or immoral activities, or the property being used other than its intended purpose are some of the reasons why the landlord has the right to give the eviction notice to the tenant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A landlord may also issue an eviction notice if the property is to be razed or renovated for civic development. If the property&#8217;s renovation or maintenance cannot be completed while the tenants are still residing there, they will be served with an eviction notice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Right_to_Inspection\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right to Inspection<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is among the most important landlord rights in Dubai.

However, this is only permitted under certain conditions, such as damage to the property done by the tenant. The landlord must provide a 12-month written notice if the landlord wishes to terminate the agreement before the end date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RERA establishes the following regulations for terminating a tenancy contract in Dubai:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both parties must agree upon the termination of the contract.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If either party dies, the agreement is transferred to the successor of the deceased person.
