Finding a perfect stay at an affordable price is a significant task. The process can get quite tedious and tricky while booking a budget-friendly property.

A Guide To Help You With Rules Before Renting A Home In Dubai
1. Only work with RERA-certified brokers. Work with someone else if your broker does own a Broker ID card.
2. Are you relocating? You can look at the neighbourhood’s average rental prices. Thinking to shift into an apartment or villa and want to know if the deal you got was fair? Use a new portal called DXBinteract.com. This gives data on property transactions from the Dubai Land Department. You can easily check the prior rent charged for the same property.
3. To make your deal legitimate, register it with Ejari.
Bring your documents to any typing facility and pay AED 195 to enrol your contract with Ejari. Security and other deposits should also be on the list of your Ejari. Make sure you acquire a deposit receipt and keep it alongside. The proof of ownership of the property and a copy of the landlord’s passport are the other documents required.

4. Is your rent set to go up? You should receive notice three months ahead of time.
Is your contract about to expire? If this is the case, your landlord by law needs to notify you of any rent increases 90 days in advance. Articles 6 and 14 of the ‘Dubai Law No. 26 of 2007 often known as the Dubai Rent Law, state as much.
5. Rent increases must be in accordance with RERA’s Rent Index. Even if your landlord decides to raise the rent, he or she cannot do so beyond the Dubai Land Department’s specified limit. The rate of rise is usually determined by how cheap your rent is in comparison to the area’s average rent for your unit. This is the maximum increase a landlord can make, according to DLD.
