From viewing to keys — a practical guide to renting a home in Dubai.
Renting in Dubai is straightforward once you know the steps.
Budget and cheques
Rent is usually paid annually by post-dated cheques. Many landlords accept multiple cheques — ask us to negotiate the best terms.
Ejari registration
Every tenancy contract must be registered with Ejari, which is required to connect utilities.
Deposits and fees
Expect a refundable security deposit and an agency fee. Your Belle Homes consultant will explain every cost upfront.
