    What are the consequences of using a property for illegal purposes?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A landlord may request the eviction of the tenant before the contract expires if the premises are used for illegal purposes. This also applies if the tenant allows others to conduct activities that conflict with public order or morals. Such actions are considered a fundamental breach of the rental relationship and the law. In these cases, the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre (RDSC) can authorize the termination of the lease to protect the property's reputation and ensure compliance with Dubai's legal standards.
