What this means in practice

Apply the framework to the real facts.

Organise the tenancy contract, Ejari, addendum, payment evidence, notices, messages and property handover evidence before seeking a formal review.

What to check

  • What outcome is being requested
  • Contract and Ejari records
  • Payment and notice evidence
  • Whether an urgent or interim application is relevant

Common mistakes

  • Filing before organising the evidence
  • Assuming a broker can decide a legal dispute
  • Relying only on WhatsApp messages without the contract record
