An essential guide to simplifying your move-in journey in the UAE.

The UAE’s vibrant rental market offers an extensive range of properties, from sleek urban apartments in Dubai to serene villas in Abu Dhabi. Whether you’re a first-time renter or an experienced tenant, the rental process in the UAE can seem complex. Premier Properties, a trusted name in UAE real estate, is here to simplify your journey. This guide outlines the essential steps to secure your ideal rental property with confidence.
1
Planning Your Budget and Preferred Location
  • Financial Preparation: Begin by determining a realistic budget that includes monthly rent, utility costs, service fees, and one-time expenses such as security deposits, first month’s rent, utility setup, and agent commissions. A well-planned budget ensures a smooth rental experience.
  • Location Research: Explore UAE’s diverse regions using Premier Properties’ online portal at premierproperties.ae. Consider proximity to workplaces, schools, and amenities. Decide between furnished and unfurnished properties, noting that furnished units typically require a 10% security deposit of the annual rent, while unfurnished units require 5%.
2
Engaging a Premier Properties Real Estate Agent
  • Expert Guidance: Partner with a Premier Properties agent registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA). Our agents streamline the process by matching you with properties that meet your needs, negotiating lease terms, and arranging viewings.
  • Local Expertise: Our agents possess in-depth knowledge of UAE’s rental markets, from Dubai’s bustling Downtown to Abu Dhabi’s tranquil Al Reem Island. They can also address potential property maintenance concerns before you sign a lease.
3
Securing Your Rental Property
  • Making an Offer: Once you’ve found your ideal property through Premier Properties, submit a formal offer via your agent.
  • Required Documentation: Prepare scanned copies of your Emirates ID, residency visa, and three cheques: one for the security deposit, one for the first month’s rent (payable to the landlord), and one for the agent’s commission (payable to Premier Properties). Your agent will guide you through this process to ensure accuracy.
4
Signing the Lease and Ejari Registration
  • Lease Agreement: After your offer is accepted, your Premier Properties agent will draft a tenancy contract under the Ejari system. Ensure all agreed terms with the landlord are explicitly included, as only written terms are enforceable.
  • Ejari Registration: Register your tenancy with the Ejari system, either online or at a typing centre. Required documents include the tenancy contract, landlord’s ID copy, and your passport or visa details. This step is mandatory to formalize your lease and enable utility connections.
5
Conducting a Move-In Inspection
  • Thorough Documentation: Before moving in, perform a detailed inspection of the property. Document any existing damage, test appliances and fixtures, and record findings with photos, videos, and a written report. This protects your security deposit and ensures repairs are addressed.
  • Attention to Detail: Take time to check every aspect of the property, including plumbing, electrical systems, and cabinetry. Your Premier Properties agent can assist in coordinating with the landlord for any necessary fixes.
6
Setting Up Utilities
  • DEWA Activation: After Ejari registration, activate your Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) account (or equivalent utility provider in other emirates) online or at a Customer Happiness Centre. You’ll need your Ejari number, tenancy contract, Emirates ID, passport copy, and the premises number (found near the property’s entrance). A refundable security deposit (AED 4,000 for villas, AED 2,000 for apartments) is required.
  • Additional Utilities: Arrange for gas, air conditioning, and internet connections. Your Premier Properties agent can recommend trusted service providers to ensure a seamless setup.
By following these steps and leveraging the expertise of Premier Properties, you can confidently navigate the UAE rental market. Visit premierproperties.ae to explore listings or contact our RERA-registered agents for personalized assistance in finding your perfect home.
