Power of attorney for Dubai tenancy and notices

An owner, tenant or company representative may need valid authority to sign, receive notices, file or settle. The scope, validity, identity and any revocation of the power of attorney should be checked.

What this means in practice

Apply the framework to the real facts.

Use the official or notarised authority required for the intended action. Do not assume a property-management email or old POA authorises litigation, sale or settlement.

What to check

  • Exact powers granted
  • Validity and revocation status
  • Identity of principal and attorney
  • Whether translation or attestation is required
  • Action to be signed or filed

Common mistakes

  • Using a general POA for an excluded act
  • Relying on an expired company authority
  • Accepting a scan without verifying the original or official record
