How to Rent a Flat in Abu Dhabi?

1- Look for a property

The first step to renting is looking for a new home. Browse Property Finder to choose from a large selection of Abu Dhabi flats for rent. You can filter by location, price, size, amenities, and more, to find exactly what you’re looking for.

2- Contact the agent

Once a flat for rent in Abu Dhabi catches your eye, reach out to the agent who added the listing, to arrange a viewing and ask them questions.

3- Sign the contract

To reserve your apartment, you need to pay a security deposit. This is usually 5% of the annual rent. Security deposits are refundable. However, if damages are found, a part of the security deposit is deducted.

If you rent a flat in Abu Dhabi through a real estate agent, you’ll need to pay an agency fee, which is often 5% of the yearly rental.

Once those steps are done, you need to write post-dated cheques that should be signed by the tenant and landlord.

The number of cheques varies depending on your agreement with the landlord. Some ask for one full cheque, while others allow two, three, four, or more cheques.

Now that the tenancy contract has been signed by both parties, it should be registered with Tawtheeq, Abu Dhabi’s official register for tenancy contracts. The landlord or agent usually registers for Tawtheeq, which is needed for water and electricity activation.

4- Move in!

After you’re done with all of the steps above, you’re ready to move into your new Abu Dhabi flat for rent!

How do you pay rent in Abu Dhabi?

There are multiple ways by which you can pay rent in Abu Dhabi such as:

  • Mobile Wallets: You can easily pay rent via mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay 
  • Bank Transfer: Simply transfer your rental payment to your landlord’s bank account

Can I rent for 6 months in Abu Dhabi?
