Cheque Payments – Unlike in many other countries around the world, the majority of Dubai landlord’s will not accept on a monthly basis. The average was two cheques and if you are lucky 4-6 can be found to cover the cost of your annual rent-which can prove difficult, especially if you’ve only recently arrived in Dubai. It’s notable that many landlords will increase the overall rent depending on the number of cheques , the best deals are if you can pay upfront for the full year.
Deposit and fees – Most places require a tenant to pay a security deposit once which is normally five percent of your annual rent. Irrespective of the amount, the security deposit ensures you give back the property in same conditions as when you moved in.
