These are asking rents on McCone listings rather than registered contracts, and the few properties advertised monthly have been annualised so the sizes compare. For what tenants actually signed, the community reports carry Ejari-registered rents. Live McCone stock as at September 2026, from 1,256 ready listings with 6 off-plan held out.
Renting in Dubai
How a Dubai tenancy actually works
Rent is quoted per year and paid in cheques — one, two, four, sometimes twelve. Fewer cheques buys a lower rent, and the number is negotiable in a way the headline figure often is not. On top of the rent there is a security deposit, conventionally 5% of the annual rent for an unfurnished property and 10% furnished, refundable at the end, and an agency commission conventionally 5%.
Every tenancy has to be registered with Ejari, the Dubai Land Department’s contract registry. It is not paperwork for its own sake: you need the Ejari certificate to connect DEWA, to get a parking permit, to sponsor a family visa. Utilities are separate from the rent — DEWA for water and power, and in most towers a district-cooling account for the chilled water, which can carry a standing charge whether you use it or not.
A landlord cannot raise the rent at will. Increases are governed by the RERA rental index, which compares your rent against the market for similar properties in the same area and caps the rise accordingly, and any increase requires ninety days’ written notice before renewal. The same notice period applies if a landlord wants the property back. Disputes go to the Rental Dispute Centre, which is quick and used often.
Questions
Renting in Dubai, answered plainly
How many cheques do landlords accept in Dubai?
One to four is the usual range, with twelve occasionally available on newer buildings and serviced stock. The fewer cheques you offer, the more room there is on the rent — a single-cheque tenant is often the reason a landlord accepts below the asking figure.
What is Ejari and do I need it?
Ejari is the Dubai Land Department’s registry of tenancy contracts, and registration is mandatory. You need the certificate to open a DEWA account, apply for a parking permit, sponsor a family visa, or bring any dispute to the Rental Dispute Centre.
What deposit do you pay when renting in Dubai?
Conventionally 5% of the annual rent for an unfurnished property and 10% for a furnished one, held by the landlord and refundable at the end of the tenancy less the cost of any damage beyond fair wear.
Can my landlord increase my rent in Dubai?
Only within the limits of the RERA rental index, which sets the permitted increase by how far your current rent sits below the market rate for comparable properties in the same area, and only with ninety days’ written notice before the renewal date. An increase served late, or above the index, is not enforceable.
Who pays the agency fee when renting in Dubai?
The tenant, conventionally 5% of the annual rent, paid once at the start of the tenancy. It is not usually charged again on renewal of the same contract.
What is the cheapest way to rent in Dubai?
Look slightly off the headline addresses, take an older building in a good community rather than a new one in a weaker location, and be ready to pay in fewer cheques. Renting away from the two peak moving seasons also helps, because the stock sits longer and landlords negotiate.
Recorded prices and rents by community are in the sales reports; if you are buying to let, the rental yield calculator works out what a property actually returns.
