FAQs about Monthly Studio Apartment Rentals in Abu Dhabi

Most monthly arrangements require a 30-day minimum, though hotel apartments may offer weekly options. Residential monthly contracts typically start at one month with renewal possibilities.

Are utilities included in the monthly rent?

Serviced and short-term studios frequently include water, electricity, cooling, and internet. Standard residential leases converted to monthly payments may require separate ADDC fees. Always verify what's covered before signing.

What fees should I expect when renting a monthly studio in Abu Dhabi?

Monthly rent is typically paid in advance or through post-dated cheques. Security deposits are usually required and refundable. Agency fees may apply when booking through brokers.

Are pets allowed in monthly studio rentals?
