90-day notice must to end Tenancy Contract in Dubai

Both owner and tenant may serve notice of 90 days to other party if one of the parties does not intend to renew the tenancy contract.

This is in accordance with article 14 of law No. 33 of 2008 amending law No. 26 of 2007 regulating the relationship between the landlords and tenants in Dubai (the 'Amended Rental law'). It states: "Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, if either party to the tenancy contract wishes to amend any of its terms in accordance with article (13) of this Law, that party must notify the other party of the same no less than ninety (90) days prior to the date on which the tenancy contract expires."

Further, Article 13 of the Amended Rental Law states: "For the purposes of renewing the tenancy contract, the landlord and tenancy may, prior to the expiry of the tenancy contract, amend any of the terms of the tenancy contract or review the rent, whether increasing or decreasing it. Should the landlord and tenant fail to reach an agreement, then the tribunal may determine the fair rent, taking into account the criteria stipulated in article (9) of this law."

In the event the owner or his agent disagrees on the same, you may approach Rental Dispute Centre at Dubai for resolution of the matter.
