The UAE's Ministry of Justice and the Department for Social Services and Commercial Buildings in Abu Dhabi (DSSCB) are drafting a new tenancy law aimed at tackling growing concerns and disputes over house rents.
According to Khaleej Times, the usual demands by landlords for hikes in rents of residential units have plunged many defaulting tenants into lawsuits due to their inability to pay the ever-growing rents. An official source told Khaleej Times that the new bill would waive the hike in rent every two years by 20 per cent.
