    Can a Landlord evict a Tenant if the property is collapsing?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A Landlord is permitted to request eviction if the property is likely to collapse. However, the Landlord must prove this condition by providing a technical report. This report must be issued or certified by the Dubai Municipality to be legally valid. This rule prioritises the safety of the occupants over the lease contract, ensuring that Tenants are moved out of dangerous structures while requiring official government verification to prevent Landlords from using safety as a false pretext for eviction.
