    Does the RDSC have jurisdiction over free zones?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    The RDSC holds exclusive jurisdiction over rental disputes for property situated throughout the Emirate, which explicitly includes free zones. However, there is a key exception: if a specific free zone has its own tribunals or special courts with jurisdiction over rental disputes within its boundaries, the RDSC will not hear those cases. This allows established free zone legal systems to continue their work while ensuring that all other free zone properties have access to the RDSC�s specialised services.
