Question 1

What’s the minimum rental period?

Accepted Answer

A standard rental contract for a property in Dubai is concluded for at least a year; however, in the case of room rentals, the property can be rented for 3 to 6 months at least. In the case of vacation home rentals, short-term rentals must be allowed by DTCM, too.

Question 2

Can I rent a room without a visa in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

In Dubai, renting a property on a long-term basis, for example a one-year contract) requires the tenant to have a valid residency visa. However, tourists and expats are allowed to sign a short-term rental contract for rooms, hotel apartments, or holiday homes with temporary visas.

Question 3

Are bills included in the rent?

Accepted Answer

Most rental properties have a Municipality Fee added to their water and electricity bills (DEWA). Tenants are responsible for paying the bills unless utilities are covered in the rental contract.

Question 4

How can I avoid scams?

Accepted Answer

Registering a legitimate tenancy in Dubai with the Ejari system helps tenants to ensure their rental contract. Tenants can also confirm their rental registration through the Dubai Rest app or contact the Dubai Land Department. A registered Ejari contract ensures legal protection and avoids scamming.
