Gulfnews: Owners trapped in long leases

can someone expalin the above? why can't an owner evict a tenant if he wants to occupy the place himself!!!

Good point, unfortunately no one has the answers, as an individual who has paid rent for the last 5 years in Dubai, & as an investor who is receiving rent for less than 1 year, this sounds like the frying pan or the fire.

Hopefully one can hope that this rent cap nonsense will be done with for the next year, & let market forces determine the rent in the country, if demand exists, then let it be so.

I think for many people this dilemna will exist & I am sure there are laws in every country protecting the rights of tenants & landlords. It just depends on the balance those laws are trying to achieve.

Hi all,

I've read that once you let your apartment out you can only raise your rent by 7% over two years. But.... what if I only rent it out at 6months at a time, can I then raise my rent by whatever amount I wish with the next tenant after 6 months?

The question I am asking is not about rental increases, thats understandable as thats the law but what if I after 1 yr wanna use the place my self? Still the tenant does not evict the place on the law pretext!!! being a homeless landlord is not funny at all!!! READ THE ARTICLE GUYS what it says!!!

The best thing may be to look around the forum, read as many comments and then judge for yourself. I would also look at what else you could get around that price range in Dubai.
