Real Estate Cases
Your real estate rights are protected — whether you're an owner, tenant, developer, or investor. We handle every type of real estate dispute with deep expertise in UAE law.
The UAE real estate market — big opportunities, complex disputes
Real estate in the UAE is one of the most significant investments — but it comes with a multi-layered legal system: rental laws differ from one emirate to another, off-plan disputes, building maintenance disagreements, developer delays, and registration issues at the Lands Department. A single procedural mistake can cost you the entire case.
We are skilled in dealing with every real estate authority in the country — the Dubai Land Department (DLD), the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre (RDSC), and the federal and local courts. Whether you're in a dispute, preparing to buy, or facing a delayed developer, we put our expertise at your disposal to protect your investment.

A Methodology That Accelerates Your Case Outcome
Four steps that ensure we're on the right legal track from the very first moment.
File Assessment
Reviewing contracts, title deeds, receipts, and correspondence to determine the strength of your legal position.
Identifying Jurisdiction
Directing the case to the right venue: RDSC, the courts, RERA, or arbitration centers.
Filing & Managing the Suit
Preparing pleadings, submitting evidence, attending hearings, and responding to the other side's defenses.
On-the-Ground Enforcement
Enforcing the judgment — eviction, amount recovery, ownership transfer — until you actually receive your right.
Your Questions on Real Estate Cases
• Unlawful rent increases (RERA Rent Index)
• Evictions for non-payment or other legal grounds
• Security deposit recovery from the landlord after lease termination
• Repairs that the landlord refuses to perform
In Abu Dhabi and other emirates, these matters go to locally competent authorities.
• Claim compensation for the delay under the contract and RERA regulations
• Rescind the contract and recover the full amount from the escrow account if the delay is material and unjustified
• File a complaint with RERA to trigger administrative action against the developer
• Demand forced delivery of the unit with delay penalties
We assess your project's status and choose the appropriate path to recover your right.
• Formal notice through a notary public (30 days to pay)
• If unpaid, file a case before RDSC or the competent authority
• Eviction judgment is issued along with claim for back rent
• Eviction enforcement through the competent authorities — not by self-help
Warning: Entering the property by force or cutting off utilities is a crime that can flip the landlord from claimant to defendant. Leave it to us.
• Review the annual budget and its allocations
• Object to unjustified items at the owners' association meeting
• File a formal complaint with RERA / Mollak if you're not heard
• Request an independent audit of the accounts
We represent you before management companies and RERA to recover excess fees and ensure account transparency.
• Dubai: DLD, RERA, RDSC, Mollak
• Abu Dhabi: Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT)
• Sharjah: Real Estate Registration Department
• Other Emirates: The competent local authorities
We are well-versed in each of these systems and their legal nuances.
• RDSC: 30–90 days for simple judgments
• Court cases: 3–12 months depending on appeal levels
• Developer / Off-plan cases: 6–18 months
• Arbitration cases: depend on the institution under the contract
Fees are set as fixed amounts or a percentage of the disputed value, agreed transparently from the first meeting after file assessment.
