    Can a tenant be evicted for changing a property's use without permission?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A tenant can be evicted if they use the property for a purpose other than that for which it was leased. This includes scenarios where a residential villa is used for commercial activities or storage without a formal change in the Lease Contract. This ground for eviction protects the owner's interest and ensures that the property's use remains in compliance with the planning and construction regulations set by the competent government entities in Dubai.
