Rental disputes in Dubai and Ejari
We protect tenants and landlords in rental disputes: rent increases above the index, withheld deposits, early eviction, refusal to carry out repairs, and Ejari registration issues.
When clients come to us
- the landlord is raising the rent beyond the permitted index
- your deposit is not being returned after you move out
- you are being evicted without the proper procedure being followed
- the contract is not registered with Ejari
- you are the owner, and the tenant is not paying
What we do
- check the contract against the RERA index
- check the Ejari registration and its consequences
- prepare and send a notice to the other party
- file an application with the Rental Dispute Centre (RDC)
- provide representation during the review
- enforce the ruling
How the work proceeds
- Check. We compare the contract terms against the RERA calculator and the notice rules.
- Notice. We send a formal notice — for many disputes this is enough on its own.
- RDC. We file the application with the Rental Dispute Centre and handle the review.
- Enforcement. We secure actual enforcement: return of the deposit, cancellation of the increase, or vacating the premises.
Documents required
- the tenancy contract
- Ejari certificate
- payment receipts and cheques
- correspondence with the other party
- photographs of the condition of the premises

Коротко о главном
The permitted percentage is set by the RERA calculator based on how far the current rent deviates from the market average. An increase requires 90 days' notice before the end of the term.
Send a notice with a calculation and, if refused, apply to the RDC. Withholding is only permitted for actual damage beyond normal wear and tear.
Yes. Without registration the contract does not give access to the RDC, nor to setting up utilities and a number of visas.
