    Can a Landlord evict a Tenant to use the property personally?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A Landlord can seek eviction upon lease expiry if they wish to retake possession for personal use or for their first-degree relatives. Under Law No. (33) of 2008, the Landlord must prove that they do not own an alternative suitable property for this purpose. Furthermore, the Landlord must provide the Tenant with a twelve (12) month written notice served via Notary Public or registered mail. This balancing act protects the Landlord's ownership rights while ensuring the Tenant is not suddenly homeless.
