Good to know

How renting works in Dubai

If you're new to the city, a few things work differently here.

Contracts run yearly

Standard tenancy contracts are for twelve months. Shorter and furnished lets exist, usually at a higher monthly rate.

Rent is paid in cheques

Rent is typically paid with post-dated cheques covering the year. Fewer cheques often means a lower rent, more cheques means easier cash flow.

Ejari registration

Every tenancy has to be registered with Ejari. It's what makes the contract official and is needed for utilities and visas.

Security deposit

A refundable deposit is held for the duration of the tenancy and returned at the end, subject to the condition of the property.

Agency fee

A one-off fee is payable when the contract is signed. We'll tell you the exact amount before you commit to anything.

Renewals are regulated

Increases at renewal are governed by the RERA rental index rather than set freely, which protects both sides.

Not sure which side you're on?

Whether you're looking for a home or looking for a tenant, tell us the situation and we'll point you to the right person on the team.
