Rental Disputes
These include non-payment of rent, eviction, and breach of lease terms, usually managed through the judicial system linked to the Ejar platform for registered contracts, which speeds up proceedings compared to unregistered contracts. If your contract is unregistered, see our detailed guide on your rights under unregistered contracts to understand the practical difference between the two situations.
Land Ownership and Title Deed Disputes
These arise when land boundaries overlap or multiple parties claim ownership of a single plot, requiring a review of the title deed record and identifying the correct legal path — an administrative correction or an ownership-confirmation lawsuit. These disputes are especially common in older lands whose deeds haven't been updated for decades, or inherited lands among multiple heirs without formal division.
Real Estate Developer and Off-Plan Sale Disputes
These include delayed delivery, specifications differing from what was agreed, or breach of post-delivery warranties, requiring a review of the purchase contract and the project's licensing status. If you're facing a delay in delivering a unit you bought off-plan, see our dedicated guide on your full rights under the Wafi system.
How to Precisely Identify Your Dispute Type
The first step is always identifying the other party in the dispute and the contractual relationship's nature: are you in a rental relationship with an owner or tenant? Is the dispute over land boundaries or deed ownership? Or are you a buyer facing a real estate developer? Each of these classifications opens an entirely different legal path in terms of the competent body, required documents, and statutory deadlines.
The Importance of Early Documentation in Every Dispute Type
Regardless of your real estate dispute type, early and organized documentation is the most influential factor on your legal position's strength later. Keep copies of contracts, payment receipts, correspondence with the other party, and any official documents related to the disputed property, as these documents are what any lawyer builds your position on before the competent judicial body.

Frequently Asked Questions
Must a lease be registered to file an eviction lawsuit?
Registration through Ejar significantly speeds up eviction proceedings, but a lawsuit can also be filed on unregistered contracts through a longer path.
How do I verify a real estate project's licensing before buying?
You can verify the project's licensing and escrow account status through the official Wafi platform before any financial commitment.
Which type of real estate dispute usually takes longer?
Old land ownership and title deed disputes tend to be the longest, especially when they involve multiple heirs or deeds needing a field survey to precisely determine boundaries.
