"Thousands of Dubai residents facing unjust rent demands may still find respite at the Dubai Land Department’s Real Estate Regulatory Agency (Rera) but there is no such thing for tenants at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). What’s worse, different rules seem to apply to different people living in the ultra-posh financial free zone that centres around the iconic DIFC gate and houses a ‘city within a city’ to provide a range of business and lifestyle facilities.
While DIFC operates under an independent jurisdiction, what often doesn’t come to light is the lack of robust tenant rights there, tenants told XPRESS.
“I have been living here for two years but only came to realise a month ago when I was asked to vacate that there are virtually no laws protecting our rights here in DIFC,” says Dr. Thomas Boelman, a resident of the Index Tower in the locality."
