To kick you out it is 1 year notice from the end of the lease period, not 12 months notice. They could I guess give you the notice when you sign the next year lease I guess but that is worst case scenario. They have to notify you via registered mail with the official form which is registered with Ejari. They then can't rent it out for 2 years. Unless they are totally legit, it is very difficult to kick you out. Nothing like it was a couple of years ago.

Most people are not aware of the new rules both tenants and land lords. I heard of a person whose land lord sent them a text and said they were raising the rent by 10% on that very day and they needed to give them new cheques immediately. For increases, if you are within 25% of the average for your area there is ZERO increase allowed on your rent. The RERa/Ejari are actually very good at dealing with this stuff. Law 26 of 2007 has been amended and the changes all favoured tenants.
