How to Rent an Apartment in Dubai as a Beginner

The rental process step by step

1. 1

   Agree on payment terms and broker fees

   Tenants can pay the rent in one payment or through multiple payments as agreed with the broker/landlord. In addition, some brokers may require a commission fee — the current percentage must be checked on the Official UAE Government Portal (u.ae).

2. 2

   Prepare your identification documents

   To conclude a lease contract with the landlord and/or real estate agent, the tenant must provide a copy of his passport, a valid residence visa and Emirates ID, in addition to post-dated cheques covering payments for the agreed lease period.

   Sign and register the lease contract

   Lease agreements between landlords and tenants must be registered by the respective authority in each emirate. In Dubai, landlords must register lease agreements with Dubai Land Department.

4. 4

   Pay municipality and housing fees

   Once the lease contract has been registered, a municipality fee will be levied. The fee is calculated based on either the rental value or the rental index, whichever is higher, at a rate to confirm on u.ae. Tenants must also pay housing fees to Dubai Municipality, calculated as a percentage of the yearly rental charges — check the current rate on the official portal.
