About apartment rental transactions in Dubai

Dubai apartment rent price trends

Dubai apartment rent prices are up by 2.6% over the past 12 months. Tenants registered 607,051 apartment rental contracts with the Dubai Land Department over the past 12 months, up by 4.5%. New leases averaged AED 84,700, against AED 68,500 for renewals. There was a difference of AED 16,200 between the averages for new leases and renewals. New leases are down by 0.9%, while renewals are up by 4.7%, so new and renewing tenants can see different rent movements.

How Dubai flat rent prices differ across neighborhoods

Dubai flat rent prices vary widely by community. Bluewaters had the highest average rent at AED 456,700 a year, followed by Dubai Internet City at AED 354,800 and Al Barari at AED 287,700. Al Aweer, Hatta, and Academic City had the lowest, at AED 27,000, AED 28,100, and AED 30,600. Individual apartment contracts ranged from AED 8,000 to AED 195,000,000 a year. Filter the table by community and bedroom count to see what tenants paid for homes like the one you’re considering.

Dubai apartment rent costs

The annual rent is only part of your Dubai apartment rent cost. Before you move in, expect a refundable security deposit of 5% of the annual rent for an unfurnished home, an agency fee of around 5%, an Ejari registration fee, and a refundable DEWA deposit of AED 2,000 to connect electricity and water. On an unfurnished apartment with an annual rent of AED 100,000, that’s an AED 5,000 deposit, around AED 5,000 in agency fees, and AED 2,000 for DEWA before you get the keys.

Why apartment rents vary in the same Dubai building

Two apartments in the same tower can rent for very different amounts. View, floor, size, layout, condition, and furnishing can all affect the rent, and a furnished apartment for rent in Dubai also needs a larger security deposit: 10% of the annual rent, against 5% for an unfurnished one. When you check a Dubai apartment rent price against registered contracts, compare homes in the same building with a similar size and number of bedrooms.

Frequently asked questions

There’s no fixed number. No law sets how many cheques a landlord must accept, so you agree it with your landlord before signing, and it’s written into your tenancy contract. Rent is usually paid in 1, 2, 4, 6, or 12 post-dated cheques.

Fewer cheques: landlords often accept a lower rent in exchange, because more of the money arrives upfront.
More cheques: easier on your cash flow, but some landlords ask for a higher rent or turn the request down.
Monthly payments: Property Finder’s Rent in 12 pays your landlord upfront and lets you pay in monthly installments.

After you move in, your main monthly bill is DEWA, plus air conditioning if your building uses district cooling. Service charges are normally the owner’s cost.

DEWA: the electricity and water you use, plus a housing fee of 5% of your annual rent, spread across the year. On a rent of AED 100,000, that’s about AED 417 a month.
District cooling: billed separately by the cooling provider, which may ask for a deposit when you connect.
Service charges: paid by the owner for the pool, gym, security, and other shared areas, unless your lease says otherwise.
