Tenant Obligations

Law No. 26 of 2007 
Regulating Relationship between Landlords and Tenants in the Emirate of Dubai


 ARTICLE  19 
Term Tenant must pay rent value on due dates and preserve the property as his own property. He also shall not make any changes, renovations or maintenance works without landlord’s permission, after obtaining necessary approvals from competent authorities.

 ARTICLE  21 
Term Tenant shall be obliged, upon expiry of tenancy, to return the property to landlord in the same condition as handed over to him at the time of contracting except for normal wear and tear or for reasons beyond his control. However, in case of any dispute, the matter shall be referred to the Committee for decision.


 ARTICLE  22 
Term Unless the tenancy contract otherwise provides, the tenant shall pay all fees and taxes due to government authorities for benefiting from the property, in addition to any other fees or taxes due for subleasing.

 ARTICLE  23 
Term The tenant shall not, upon vacating the property, remove any fixed improvements unless agreed otherwise by both parties.
