Start with the tenancy documents, chronology and outcome you are seeking. Legal advice and proceedings require the appropriate professional route.
Gather the tenancy contract, its Ejari registration, the title deed or proof of ownership, rent payment records, and any notices or correspondence already exchanged. Put the dates in order: when the tenancy started, when it renews, and what has happened since.
Documents for an eviction matter →
An eviction matter can arise during the tenancy (for example unpaid rent) or at its end (for example a sale or the owner's own use). The stage decides which notice applies and whether the matter is still at preparation or has become a dispute.
If the tenant contests the notice, or the matter needs to go before the Rental Disputes Center, it becomes a rental dispute. Dispute.ae covers rental dispute support for landlords and tenants and explains how a rental dispute is filed at the RDC. Legal advice and representation require a qualified professional.
If you are a landlord preparing a notice or a pre-eviction discussion with your tenant, start with the documents and dates above. When you need help organising the file, see how dispute.ae organises a property dispute.
Dispute.ae sets out its service stages and fees before anything is agreed.
Eviction.ae provides general information and document preparation. It is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. Last reviewed: Sunday, 11th October 2026
