Dubai's Renting Disputes Centre (RDC), which created the first smart judicial rental system in the world, has resolved 100,000 rental claims. Within the span of nine years, RDC has boosted investor trust in the emirate's legal framework.

Being the judicial arm of the Dubai Land Department (DLD), RDC was established as part of a systematic development journey to bring economic stability to landlords and tenants. Through establishing a specialized judicial system based on a streamlined mechanism. Since its inception, the center has received 103,975 lawsuits, which only represent 1.9% of the total number of lease contracts registered with the DLD. During the same period, totaling more than 5.2 million lease contracts worth Dh654 billion.

Judge Abdulqader Mousa, Director of RDC said that the Centre is founded on a sustainable methodology, as well as a cutting-edge real estate and rental model in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, and Ruler of Dubai, who has consistently emphasized that justice is the cornerstone of good administration and welfare of society's citizens.

The duration for resolution of first-instance lawsuits was 10 days and for appeals 14 days. Such expeditious and swift resolution of disputes is in line with the country’s vision to consolidate its position in the global arena as a premier real estate destination for investors.
