Answer:
Yes, the tenant can claim compensation if the landlord re-rents the property within two years of eviction that was based on the landlord's stated intention to use the property for personal use. This constitutes a violation of Dubai’s tenancy law and entitles the tenant to fair compensation for material and moral damages.
