Renting, notices & disputes · Dubai Legislation Portal
Selling or buying a tenanted property in Dubai
A sale does not automatically erase an active tenancy. Buyers and sellers should understand the Ejari, rent paid, deposits, notices, access and transfer of landlord responsibilities before completing.
Apply the framework to the real facts.
Reconcile the tenancy ledger and deposit, disclose notices and disputes, and state how post-transfer rent, keys and communication will work.
What to check
- Current Ejari and addendum
- Rent paid and future cheques
- Security deposit custody
- Notice history
- Buyer intention and access expectations
Common mistakes
- Marketing as vacant without evidence
- Failing to transfer the deposit record
- Promising eviction based only on a sale
Explanation is not document preparation.
No legal form is created by Rapid. Rapid can organise the timeline, list the evidence and connect the visitor to Rapid expert or licensed Dubai legal professional.

What does this mean for your situation?
Ask Rapid using the actual dates, figures, documents and facts you know. Where official verification or professional action is required, the answer must say so clearly.
