Landlord Guide: Renting Out Your Property in Dubai

Planning your next real estate investment? Whether you’re listing a single unit or managing a portfolio of properties, HAVENHUES REAL ESTATE L.L.C is here to support you every step of the way. Dubai’s rental market offers excellent returns—but success requires the right strategy, presentation, and partners.

Here’s our step-by-step Landlord’s Guide, packed with practical advice from our local property professionals.

Step 1
Get a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)

Before listing, get a professional valuation or CMA from a trusted local property expert. This helps determine:

  • The current market value of your property
  • The ideal rental price
  • How your property compares with others in the area

This insight ensures your listing is competitive and appealing to the right tenants.

Step 2
Hire a Property Manager

For hassle-free renting, especially if you manage multiple properties or live abroad, consider a property manager. They will:

  • Prepare your property for listing
  • Arrange cleaning, repairs, and staging
  • Handle rent collection and tenant communication
  • Coordinate maintenance and renewals

At HAVENHUES, we can connect you with trusted managers who care for your property like it’s their own.

Step 3
Work with a Reliable RERA-Certified Broker

Choose a licensed and experienced broker with:

  • A strong local network
  • A track record of successful rentals
  • Market knowledge to price, promote, and protect your asset

Our RERA-certified brokers at HAVENHUES offer tailored strategies to ensure your property stands out in Dubai’s competitive market.

Step 4
Sign a RERA Listing Agreement

To legally list your property:

  • Sign a RERA Listing Form (Form A) authorizing your broker to market the property
  • Provide copies of your Title Deed and valid ID

This ensures full transparency and legal compliance for all marketing and leasing efforts.

Step 5
Attend Viewings & Review Offers

Once listed:

  • Stay connected with your broker for regular updates
  • Try to attend property viewings when possible—it adds a personal touch and builds tenant trust

Evaluate each offer carefully. Don’t rush to dismiss lower offers—sometimes flexibility or payment structure can outweigh price.

Step 6
Finalize the Tenancy Agreement

Once you’ve selected a tenant:

  • Review and sign a detailed tenancy contract
  • Consider seeking legal review to ensure your rights are protected
  • Ensure clarity on payment terms, maintenance responsibilities, and lease duration

Then, register the tenancy with Ejari, a government-regulated system that protects both landlords and tenants by formalizing the lease.

Bonus Tip
Short-Term vs. Long-Term Leasing

Not sure whether to lease short-term or long-term?

  • Short-term rentals (furnished) are ideal for tourists and corporate tenants, offering higher returns but more management.
  • Long-term rentals (unfurnished) provide steady income and less frequent turnover.

We can help you decide what’s best based on your goals, property type, and location.
