Dubai Real Estate: Landlord cannot cut off power for nonpayment of rent

As per the law landlord may not cut off electricity to the tenant due to non-payment of rent, but rather the landlord shall follow the way of the law to obtain his right. If the landlord decides to file a case against the tenant, he shall firstly serve 30 days’ notice of payment to the tenant provided that the same shall be sent through the notary public. Thus, the Landlord, at the expiry of the notice period without payment, shall be entitled to file a rental case against the said tenant to claim the rental and carry out eviction as per the Rent Committee Law No. 26 for 2007, Clause No. 25 A.
