Being a landlord in Dubai comes with numerous responsibilities due to the region’s extensive regulations. It is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of all factors that may impact your role. These include the documentation required to rent your property, the requirements for advertising your property online, the types of documentation needed from tenants, and the tenancy laws as outlined by the Dubai Land Department and Real Estate Regulatory Authority. Additionally, a general understanding of the current rental process in Dubai is essential.

Costs When Renting in Dubai
Important Factors to Consider When Renting a Property
Can I Afford It?
The first and most significant step in renting a property in Dubai is calculating your budget. Start your search with a clear budget in mind. This will help you narrow down locations where you can afford to rent, making the search process easier.
Do Viewings
Viewings can be overwhelming, so prepare questions beforehand and discuss them with your broker prior to the viewing. If there are aspects of the property you dislike, bring them up with your broker, who may offer solutions.
Inspection & Move-In
Conduct a thorough inspection of the property’s condition with the real estate agent. Document and photograph any existing damages to avoid being held liable at move-out. Check with building management about the move-in process, as some buildings require owner authorization. Your real estate agent should assist you in acquiring this information.
What Are My Requirements?
Consider what is necessary in the home you rent. Are you looking for an apartment or a villa? Which locations do you prefer? Think about the distance to schools or your workplace. Prioritize your list of requirements and focus on properties that meet your essential criteria.
Contract Signing
When you find a property you like, make an offer through the real estate agent and wait for the landlord’s approval. If approved, meet the agent to sign the contract. Carefully read the addendum, which outlines the terms and conditions for the duration of your lease, as it details responsibilities within the property.
Get Connected
After signing the contract, register the property with EJARI, a government entity ensuring all rented properties are recorded. Then, arrange for electricity, air conditioning, telecommunications, and internet connections. Be prepared to pay refundable security deposits for these services.
