Tenants and subleasing regulations in Dubai

In Dubai and all over the UAE, the legal relationship between two parties known as landlord and tenant is always monitored and managed by a specific regulation authority, that defines the outlines and obligations of both parties too. The most important aspect is to draw regulations about prohibition on a topic known as “subleasing a property without the explicit written consent of the landlord.” Today’s discussion is all about such topics, requirements and important points. You can also book the legal appointmet with any lawyer in Dubai for a legal help in court. We will only provide a theoratical help here.  


What are the Restrictions? 

Tenants are not permitted to provide, share or sublease any property of the landlord without getting his permission or written consent, or obtaining any letter. We are not mentioning the word “VERBAL”. The reason is verbal promises have no value in law. This condition is a law set by the UAE government implemented through land department laws and UAE civil laws. For your knowledge you can study, Article 24 of Law # 26 of 2007. It tells us about the relationship of both parties e.g. landlord and tenant. It tells us about the regulations and implementations. It proves that subleasing is not allowed by law and it can also not be granted by the landlord, except few conditions. These conditions and the rest of the law can be checked with lawyers in detail. If you are confused about lawyers then lawyers in Dubai are good in this regard. Any breach is against the law and is considered illegal and criminal. Last but not least, there is no space or guarantee for verbal agreements.   

A few words about the landlord 


  • Law provides rights and protocols to landlords.
  • He has the right to authorise the sublease but that should not contradict with the UAE real estate laws. Learn more about real estate lawyers.
  • The landlord can open a case against the tenant.
  • The state can also become a plaintiff in a few cases.
  • Immediate eviction is possible if the tenant is found in serious crimes inside the premises, directly or indirectly. 

Tenancy Contracts

  • It must be drafted by lawyers and legal consultants. 
  • It must be clear, and elaborative and cover the rights of both parties. 
  • There must be an approval from both parties. 
  • Subleasing in a legally permitted way can be discussed as a reference, in the tenancy contract. 

Send a Warning

Yes, before taking a formal legal action, landlord can send a warning letter through notary or his lawyers as well. Please do not mix this with eviction letter. Eviction letter has to be served through notary public. 

Legal Idea

As far as legal advise is concerned then yes this is a mandtory thing. Consult the advocates and legal consultants, before getting in to a legal matter. There are sevral things which we don’t know. Therefore consult a good lawyer first then move towards court. Litigation sometimes turn against your self as well if not planned properly. Therefore this is decided and recommedned even for such matter and topcis, take a legal idea first. 

Subleasing is not allowed most of the times. Law puts serious fines and punishments. Matter can also be a criminal matter if serious crimes are committed and proved inside he premises.
