You may visit rental property listings from reputable companies. Having a booming economy, real estate firms surge in Dubai, marketing numerous properties from an array of globally renowned, Dubai-based developers and offering comprehensive real estate services. These rental property listings are available online and offline. When shortlisting, visit your prospective property and do all the necessary assessments, ensuring that it suits your requirements.

When renting in the UAE, particularly in Dubai, proper documentation is a must. Opting to hire a real estate agent is advantageous at this stage. A refundable security deposit is necessary to reserve the property, along with copies of your passport and residence visa. Before signing a final tenancy contract, which is required for all properties for rent in Dubai, confirm if all the clauses are agreeable on your and the landlord’s ends and that all parts of the property to lease are keenly inspected. If possible, employ a property handover services provider to avoid the risk of renting a damaged property.

Even renting in the UAE should be law-abiding. All tenancy contracts should be registered through EJARI, as mandated by Dubai laws. EJARI registration requires the tenancy agreement, title deed from the property owner, copies of the tenant’s and landlord’s passport, and tenant’s Emirates ID. Once completed, you will receive an EJARI number, which you will also use to apply for utility connections, including water and electricity.
