My tenant won't leave after the contract ended - how do I get my property back?
A contract expiring does not auto-evict: you need a valid legal ground plus a proper 12-month notice, or an unpaid-rent judgment. If the tenant still refuses, file at the Rental Dispute Centre for an eviction order and the Execution Department enforces the handover. You cannot remove them yourself, and a registered Ejari is required to file.
Rules and eligibility criteria change — confirm the current position with the relevant authority before acting. This is general information, not legal advice.
