Rental Disputes in Dubai: How to File a Case With RDC

Rental disputes in Dubai are common between landlords and tenants. The dispute may involve unpaid rent, eviction, illegal rent increase, refusal to renew Ejari, security deposit deductions, maintenance issues, disconnection of services, or refusal to accept rent cheques. In Dubai, these disputes are generally handled by the Rental Disputes Center, commonly called the RDC, which operates under the Dubai Land Department. The RDC provides specialised rental dispute services, including amicable settlement, first instance lawsuits, urgent petition orders, payment writs, and execution proceedings.
