In Dubai, the landlord and tenant relationship is regulated by Law No. 26 of 2007 as amended by Law No. 33 of 2008 ‘Regulating Relationship Between Landlords and Tenants in the Emirate of Dubai’ (“Tenancy Law”), and in the event of a tenancy dispute, the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre (“RDSC”) is the competent authority to hear claims or applications related to the tenancy and adjudicate the dispute. The RDSC was established in 18 September 2013 by Decree No. 26 of 2013 ‘Concerning Rent Disputes Resolution Centre in the Emirate of Dubai’ (“the Decree”).
