Step
1
Your Budget

Determining your budget is the initial and crucial phase in the rental procedure in Dubai. This budget serves as the foundation from which you can initiate your property search.

While formulating your rental budget, bear in mind the additional expenses associated with the rental process in Dubai. A deposit amounting to 5% of the total rental value and 5% agency fees, subject to a minimum amount of AED 5000.

Step
2
Your Needs

Deliberate on the essential requirements you seek in your rental residence. Determine whether an apartment or villa in Dubai suits your preferences. Select your preferred area, consider the number of bedrooms required, and evaluate the proximity to schools or your workplace.

Be ready to compromise! Finding a property that satisfies every requirement is uncommon, hence prioritize your preferences and refine your search according to your specified criteria.

Step

Find Your Agent

Finding a reputable real estate agent in Dubai is essential. Establishing a trustworthy and amicable relationship with your broker is key. Your broker should be someone with whom you can engage in transparent and friendly conversations.

Our agents are trained to provide top-notch service and take pleasure in understanding your unique requirements. At IQPRO Real Estate, we excel in comprehending your preferences and matching you with the ideal community and property.

Property Viewings

The process of viewing properties can feel overwhelming, often leading to excitement that may cause you to overlook important questions you had in mind before entering the property. We, IQPRO Real Estate, recommend preparing a list of questions to discuss with your broker during the viewing.

If there are aspects of a property that you dislike, don't dismiss it entirely. Share your concerns with your broker. They likely have encountered similar situations before and may offer solutions to address your apprehensions.

Step
5
Make an Offer

After selecting a rental property in Dubai, finalize the offer you wish to propose. Present your offer to your broker, who will initiate negotiations with the landlord. Although this phase can be nerve-racking, rest assured that your IQPRO broker is adept at managing the process and will promptly update you on all developments.

Step

Documentation

To finalize the agreement, your agent will guide you through the required paperwork. Ensure you have your Emirates ID, passport, and visa ready. Take the necessary time to carefully review the contract before signing. If you have any uncertainties or need clarification, our brokers are available to assist.

Step

EJARI Registration

Next, you will need to officially register your rental agreement in Dubai using the EJARI system, meaning 'Your Rent' in Arabic. Your broker will guide you through this procedure and help you with the necessary documentation. Additionally, IQPRO offers Property Management service, that will contact you post contract signing to advise on required permits for your relocation process.

Step

Utilities Connection

You will need to register Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) under your name, and it’s advisable to set up your internet connection prior to moving in. Our Property Management team can facilitate these arrangements for a nominal fee.
