Start of the text
This is the beginning of the template. Fields in square brackets are filled in the Legal editor.
This template is intended for onshore UAE (outside the DIFC and ADGM financial centres, which apply separate common-law regimes) unless a field below provides otherwise. Arabic is the language of UAE courts and notaries: an English document used before them must be accompanied by a certified legal translation into Arabic.
Before sending, check the notice clause of the contract. Special rules: employment contracts require written notice of 30 to 90 days for a legitimate reason (Art. 43, Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021); in Dubai, a party wishing to change tenancy terms on renewal must notify at least 90 days before expiry, and a landlord's eviction notice at expiry requires 12 months' notice by notary public or registered mail (Arts. 14 and 25, Law No. 26 of 2007).
