Document background
The Agreement To Exclude Security of Tenure is a crucial document in UAE commercial property transactions, particularly relevant when landlords and tenants wish to maintain flexibility in their leasing arrangements without the constraints of statutory tenure protections. This document is commonly used in situations where both parties prefer to rely on specifically negotiated terms rather than statutory protections. It must comply with UAE federal laws and emirate-specific regulations, particularly in Dubai where property regulations are most developed. The agreement typically accompanies a main lease agreement and requires careful consideration of UAE Civil Code provisions and local property laws. It's essential for businesses operating in free zones, commercial districts, and mainstream commercial areas across the UAE, where traditional security of tenure might otherwise complicate future property management decisions.
