How to Rent a Property in Dubai
Renting a home in Dubai is simple when you know what to expect.
The city offers everything from beachfront apartments to villa communities, giving you plenty of choices.
Before you start your search, it’s important to understand the basic requirements and steps involved.
Here’s a quick guide to help you prepare and find the right home smoothly.
What You’ll Need
Before renting, make sure your documents and budget are ready.
You’ll need your passport, visa, and Emirates ID for long-term leases.
If you’re not a UAE resident, short-term rentals are available without residency.
Prepare for a security deposit (5–10% of rent) and an agency fee (around 5%).
Having these ready will make the rental process much faster and easier.
