Leases run 12 months by default, are Ejari-registered with the DLD, and renewal rents are capped annually by the RERA rental index. The market spans studios in Business Bay through to private villas on Palm Jumeirah, with turnover fast enough that new inventory appears daily.
Annual rents on the platform currently range from AED 45k to AED 45k. with an average of 126 AED/sqft. Most active sub-areas right now: Azizi Mirage 1. Numbers update as listings change — verified by RERA permit at ingest.

What documents do I need to rent in Dubai?+
To sign a tenancy contract you'll typically need a copy of your passport, UAE residence visa (or entry stamp for non-residents), Emirates ID (for residents), and a salary certificate or bank statement. Most landlords also require post-dated cheques to cover the year's rent in 1–4 instalments.
How are rent payments structured in Dubai?+
The standard model is annual rent paid via post-dated cheques, usually split into 1, 2, 4, or 12 cheques. Fewer cheques = lower asking price; monthly payments are possible but typically come at a premium. The first cheque clears on move-in, the rest on the dates printed on each cheque.
What fees should I budget when renting?+
Standard one-time fees: 5% real estate agent commission (of annual rent), AED 110 Ejari registration fee, refundable security deposit (5% for unfurnished, 10% for furnished), and DEWA setup (AED 1,000 refundable for apartments). Add chiller deposits if water cooling is metered separately.
What is Ejari and is it required?+
Ejari is the official rental contract registration system run by RERA. Every Dubai tenancy contract must be registered with Ejari to be legally binding — it's also required to set up DEWA, get a parking permit, sponsor family residence visas, and enrol children in DHA-affiliated schools.
