What is the typical duration of a rental contract in Dubai?

Standard tenancy agreements in Dubai are for 12 months. While multi-year contracts are possible, they are less common.

What documents are required to rent a property in Dubai?

Tenants need to provide a valid passport copy, residency visa, and Emirates ID. If the residency visa is in process, a letter from the employer confirming its status may suffice temporarily.

How is rent usually paid?

Rent is often paid in advance, with the total annual amount divided into multiple post-dated cheques, typically between two and four. Fewer cheques may offer better negotiation leverage on the rental amount.

What is Ejari, and why is it important?

Ejari is an online registration system by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) that legalises the relationship between landlords and tenants. Registering the tenancy contract with Ejari is mandatory and ensures the agreement is recognised by regulatory authorities.

Can the landlord increase the rent during the tenancy period?

The legislation restricts rent increases during the first two years of the tenancy. However, this rule does not apply to new renters. Landlords can set new rental prices when an initial contract is signed.
