Before the tenancy claim: build the evidence file.

ADGM guidance distinguishes real-property disputes and evidence for unpaid rent, repairs, deposits and renewal. Relevant material includes the lease, relied-on provisions, evidence of default and correspondence.

Organise each claim by amount, contractual basis, event and supporting document. ADGM procedure and jurisdiction remain distinct from those of other courts.

From reading to preparation.

Set out the events in sequence. Separate what the documents establish from what remains to be proved. Identify the question you want a lawyer to address. This is preparation: a superficial resemblance to a published case cannot determine the outcome of your matter.

This summarises official guidance, not a court judgment.
