Hi ladies, Would really appreciate your input on this if you have experienced dealing with rental dispute committee. I was due for my first tenancy contract renewal next month when I received an email from the real estate company that is managing the unit on my landlord's behalf. They have asked us to evict at the end of the contract (i.e. given 1 month's notice). They said that my landlord is selling the apartment. We ignored that mail. Two days later their office calls us to say that they are sending over some potential buyer to our apartment to 'view' the property that same evening. We refuse. This real estate company has been very unprofessional throughout the past year we've had to deal with them. So, we didn't believe them. We emailed the landlord (who lives abroad) directly to ask him if the real estate's eviction claim is real and authorized by him. He replies to say that he indeed is selling the apartment and has found a buyer who wishes to live in the apartment. I know, legally, they cannot evict us without giving a 12 months notice sent through either a registered mail or notary public. My questions are: 1. In this case where I have not received any formally recognized eviction notice document (nor a 12 months notice period), other than an email from the real estate admin asking as to evict, do 'we' even take this seriously and file a dispute claim or should we wait for them to initiate legal action? If I initiate the case with the rental committee, what supporting document can I present to them other than the two emails from real estate company & landlord? Would those emails be acceptable and recognized by the committee to accept my case? 2. How long does it roughly take for the rental committee to handle a case from start to finish i.e. from filing till judgment? I am concerned because I'm expecting my second baby any time now and am worried that if this case drags for some months, then I will be without a current/valid tenancy contract & Ejaari - a requisite doc for issuing and renewing of Dubai residence visa. Will I be able to get a residency visa for my newborn (& a visa renewal for my toddler due in Dec) without a tenancy contract if the case if pending with the rental dispute committee?

Thank you all for the very helpful suggestions! However I wonder if this is in line with the Islamic and Eid tradition, I thought everyone who can afford it have to sacrifice a sheep for Eid? I guess I need to talk to the Imam In order for you to offer the sacrifice in the traditional way, you can visit the cattle market in Qusais either before Eid or on the day of Eid. Select and purchase your animal. Then take it to the abbatoir right next to it. You will be given a token number and your animal will be put in line. When your animal's turn comes, they will slaughter it on your behalf. If you want, you can see it from the viewing area. They will do the washing, skinning and chopping. You will be handed over a couple of huge bags of meat. You can use some of it and also go to any labour camp in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and distribute the remaining bags to the poor people. Note: Purchasing on the Eid day would be quite a hassle due to the rush. You have the option of buy earlier and asking the merchant to keep the animal there till you collect it on Eid day. Hope this info helped.
