Rental Dispute - Legal Eviction - Filing a Case via RDC -Dubai
Hi All,
I was evicted from my previous apartment in DUBAI following a legal eviction notice. The reason stated in the notice was personal use by the owner.
I have recently discovered that the apartment has now been rented to another tenant.
I was paying AED 44,000 per year for the previous apartment, whereas I am now paying AED 57,000 per year for my new apartment.
1. Obtaining information about the new tenancy
- Is it possible to obtain a copy of the new Ejari/
2. Potential compensation
Please let me know if there are any other items I should include, or whether I can claim any additional compensation:
- Difference in rent for 2 years – AED 13,000 per year
- Security deposit for the new apartment
- GAS deposit and installation costs for the new apartment
- Gas admin fees for two years
- DEWA deposit and relocation/connection fees
- Moving/movers' costs
- AC compressor cost – I replaced the compressor at my own expense because the owner refused to pay
- Previous security deposit – the owner refused to return it, despite his representative signing a document confirming that there were no damages
- Difference in Dubai Municipality housing fees for 2 years
- Ejari cancellation fees
- Compensation for moral/non-pecuniary damages and the stress and inconvenience caused
3. Procedure and supporting documents :
- What is the correct procedure for making a compensation claim?
- What documents and evidence should I prepare?
- Should I first obtain evidence of the new tenancy before filing the claim?
- Are there any other losses or expenses that I may be entitled to claim?
Any advice from someone familiar with Dubai tenancy law/RERA and eviction cases would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
