What You Need to Know in Dubai Sports City

Sports City's managed tower model means tenants may receive eviction communications from property management companies rather than the landlord directly. A notice from a management company — even if authorised by the landlord — must still meet all legal requirements: notarial service or registered mail, 12 months' lead time, and a valid Article 25 reason.

  • Verify the Article 25 ground stated
