Guide to Filing a Rent Dispute Case with Abu Dhabi Judicial Department

The Rent Dispute Settlement Committees are part of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD). To file a case, you must first visit an Enjaz centre, which are customer happiness centres for ADJD. These centres provide services such as typing and filing cases, receiving court judgments for non-criminal cases, attesting transactions, entering data for court services, and notarizing public transactions.

1. The registered lease contract (Tawtheeq)
2. Landlord’s name, mobile number, and address.
3. Your Emirates ID and address details.

After submitting the necessary documents and details of your complaint, the ADJD call center (02 6512222) states that you will receive a case number within 24 to 48 hours.
