UAE Civil Transactions Law

Article 785

Book Two: Nominate Contracts · Section Two: Contracts of Usufruct · Chapter One: Lease Contract · Part Six: Certain Types of Leases · Fourth: Endowment Lease Contract

If the lease term expires and the lessee had built or planted on the endowment property at their own expense without permission, they shall be ordered to demolish what they built and uproot what they planted if there is no harm to the endowment. If such demolition or uprooting would cause harm to the endowment, they shall be compelled to wait until the building or trees collapse, whereupon they may take the debris. In both cases, the endowment authority has the right to acquire what has been built or planted for a price not exceeding the lesser of its two values, its value as demolished or uprooted, or its value as standing, in either case.
