Rental Dispute Center Dubai: Complete Guide for Tenants and Landlords

Introduction

Disputes between tenants and landlords are not uncommon in Dubai. Issues such as rent hikes, eviction notices, unfair deductions from security deposits, or unresolved property defects can cause frustration for both sides.

When these matters cannot be settled amicably, they are escalated to the Rental Dispute Center Dubai (RDC), under the Dubai Land Department, which specializes in rental dispute settlement.

But here’s the challenge — navigating the Dubai Rental Dispute Center online process requires documentation, translation into Arabic, and fees. Without guidance, tenants and landlords may find the process confusing and stressful.

�This is where BSO Real Estate comes in — helping you manage rental disputes from start to finish.

Common Reasons for Rental Disputes in Dubai

  • Unreasonable grounds for eviction
  • Rent increase without following the official Dubai rent calculator
  • Cutting off essential services (electricity, water)
  • Leasing apartments with defects or pest infestations
  • Unfair deductions from security deposits during move-out

By identifying these early, BSO’s property management services often prevent disputes before they escalate.

The Role of the Rental Dispute Center Dubai

The Dubai Rental Dispute Center was established to protect both landlords and tenants through a fair, legal process. If you cannot reach a mutually agreed resolution, you can file a case with the Rental Dispute Center Dubai contact number or through the Rental Dispute Center online portal.

However, the process involves:

  • Collecting documents (Ejari, Title Deed, cheques, correspondence)
  • Translating them into Arabic (mandatory for Dubai courts)
  • Filing at an RDC typing center
  • Paying fees (3.5% of annual rent, minimum AED 500, maximum AED 20,000)

Many landlords and tenants find this overwhelming — which is why they turn to BSO.

How BSO Helps You with Rental Disputes

At BSO Real Estate, we simplify dispute settlement by managing the entire process:

  • Document Preparation & Translation: We prepare all required documents and coordinate with translators.
  • Filing the Case: Our team submits your case at the Rental Dispute Center in Dubai or via the online portal.
  • Case Monitoring: We track updates on your behalf until settlement.
  • Preventive Measures: Through our property management subscription, we minimize the chances of disputes (timely rent collection, clear tenancy agreements, transparent communication).
  • Legal Network: For complex disputes, we connect you with our trusted legal partners to strengthen your case.

Eviction & Dispute Settlement

Evictions are one of the most common causes of disputes. The law requires landlords and tenants to follow strict procedures. For example:

  • A landlord can evict only under certain conditions (e.g., property sale, major renovations, or personal use).
  • Proper notice must be given in compliance with Dubai Land Department regulations.

💡 With BSO managing your tenancy, eviction-related disputes are handled legally and efficiently, avoiding costly mistakes.
