Expert legal guidance at your fingertips. Trust Taw-Theeq Corporate Services for all your legal and rental dispute needs. Your success is our commitment

Navigating legal disputes can often feel overwhelming, especially when urgent action is required. Thankfully, the UAE provides a streamlined solution called an 'Order on Petition', enabling individuals to secure court orders quickly without enduring lengthy legal processes.

At Taw-Theeq Rental Dispute Service Center, we specialize in simplifying rental disputes and legal challenges, including filing for orders on petitions. Here's everything you need to know about this process and how we can assist you.

What Is an 'Order on Petition'?

An 'Order on Petition' is a legal mechanism where a judge can issue a binding court order within a few days, often without notifying the opposing party. It is designed for cases that require immediate action to protect rights, prevent harm, or compel specific actions.

In Dubai, the Dubai Land Department oversees this process, which is also applicable in rental disputes. This includes scenarios such as:


  • Renewing a trade license

  • Reinstating water and electricity services

  • Issuing or renewing residence permits

  • Proving damages to rented properties

  • Addressing sub-leasing disputes


Who Can Apply?

Citizens, residents, and visitors in the UAE are all eligible to file an order on petition.

Required Documents

The following documents are essential for filing an order on petition:


  1. A detailed application listing the grounds for the petition.

  2. A copy of the last tenancy contract.

  3. Applicant's Emirates ID copy.

  4. For companies: Emirates ID of the company manager (as listed on the trade license) and the latest trade license copy.

  5. A valid management contract.

  6. Evidence supporting the petition, such as proof of debt or damage.


Additional Requirements for Travel Ban Applications:


  • Nationals: Emirates ID copy.

  • Expats: Passport and residence permit or Emirates ID copy.

  • Proof of debt, such as bounced check documentation with translation.


All documents must be submitted in Arabic or legally translated and uploaded digitally via the Rental Dispute Resolution Centre (RDC) website or app.
