Dubai property vacant possession and occupancy at transfer
Vacant possession should be defined by actual occupancy, tenancy rights, keys, belongings, access and the contract—not by a listing label. A unit can be “vacant” yet not ready for immediate use.
Apply the framework to the real facts.
State who must vacate, by when, in what condition, and what evidence or remedy applies if possession is not delivered.
What to check
- Current occupants and Ejari
- Possession date
- Condition and belongings
- Keys, access and utilities
- Contract remedy for delay
Common mistakes
- Advertising vacant without checking access
- Confusing notice served with possession delivered
- Transferring without a key and condition plan
