Is short-term rental available in Dubai?
Yes, short-term rentals in Dubai are available — from one day to several months. These are usually furnished apartments with utilities included. Daily rates are higher than long-term, but with everything included — handy for business trips or holidays.
What deposits and fees apply when renting in Dubai?
The standard is 1 month deposit (refundable) + 1 month upfront. Agency fee is usually 50–100% of the rate for long-term. When renting directly from the owner there is no fee, but make sure the contract is legitimate.
What are the utility costs in Dubai?
The bill depends on size and season. Average is 80–200 EUR/month for electricity, water, gas, internet and cleaning for a 60–80 m² apartment. Short-term rentals include everything; long-term — metered payment.
How are keys handed over and check-in done?
The owner or agent hands over the keys when signing the acceptance protocol, recording the property condition and meter readings. The protocol is an important document: keep a copy until the end of the contract to correctly get the deposit back.
Can I extend the rental in Dubai?
Yes, extension is done via an additional agreement to the current contract 30–60 days before it ends. The price may change (usually +5–10%), but owners value long-term tenants and often keep conditions as they are.
