    What is the scope of jurisdiction for the judicial tribunals?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    The RDSC holds exclusive jurisdiction to determine all rental disputes arising between landlords and tenants of real property situated in Dubai, including those within free zones. This authority extends to counterclaims and applications for interim or urgent relief filed by any party to a lease contract. Furthermore, the Centre is responsible for determining appeals against its own decisions and enforcing the judgments it issues. This comprehensive mandate ensures that almost all residential and commercial rental conflicts are handled by a single specialised body.
