How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Dubai?

Apartment rent in Dubai depends on 3 factors: the number of bedrooms, the community and the payment terms. Studios in International City and Deira sit at the lower end of the market, while apartments in Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah sit at the upper end.

Most Dubai landlords quote rent as a yearly amount paid in 1 to 12 cheques. Fewer cheques usually means a lower total rent. Monthly-payment apartments exist but cost more per year than annual contracts.

Which Dubai areas have the most apartments for rent?

Business Bay, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT), Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), Deira, Bur Dubai and International City hold the largest share of apartment listings in Dubai. Each area serves a different budget and commute.

  • Business Bay and Downtown Dubai: high-rise apartments close to Burj Khalifa, DIFC and Sheikh Zayed Road.
  • Dubai Marina and JLT: waterfront towers with Dubai Metro and Dubai Tram access.
  • Deira and Bur Dubai: older buildings with lower rents and Green Line metro stations.
  • International City and Discovery Gardens: low-rise clusters with some of the lowest apartment rents in Dubai.

What do you need to rent an apartment in Dubai?

Renting an apartment in Dubai requires a passport, a UAE residence visa, an Emirates ID, the rent cheques and a security deposit. The landlord or agent then registers the tenancy contract with Ejari.

Ejari is the Dubai Land Department system that registers every rental contract in Dubai. A registered Ejari is required to connect DEWA electricity and water, sponsor family visas and, for commercial units, issue or renew a trade licence. Tenants also pay a refundable DEWA deposit to activate electricity and water.

What apartment sizes can you rent in Dubai?

Dubai apartments for rent fall into 6 sizes on Waperty: studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom, 4 bedroom and 5 bedroom. Studios and 1-bedroom flats suit single tenants and couples. 2- and 3-bedroom apartments suit families and flat-shares.

Tenants who need a full house can compare villas for rent in Dubai and townhouses for rent in Dubai.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rent an apartment in Dubai on a monthly basis?

Yes. Some Dubai landlords offer monthly payment plans or short-term contracts. Monthly options usually cost more per year than a standard 12-month contract paid in 1 to 4 cheques.

Do I need a residence visa to rent an apartment in Dubai?

A long-term tenancy contract registered with Ejari requires a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID. Visitors without a residence visa rent short-term or holiday-home apartments instead.

How many cheques do Dubai landlords accept?

Dubai landlords accept between 1 and 12 cheques per year. Each landlord sets the number of cheques, and fewer cheques usually gives a lower total rent.

Is there a security deposit when renting an apartment in Dubai?

Yes. Dubai landlords collect a refundable security deposit, commonly 5% of the annual rent for unfurnished apartments and 10% for furnished apartments. The deposit is returned at the end of the tenancy minus any damage costs.

Can I rent an apartment directly from the owner on Waperty?

Yes. Waperty lists apartments posted by owners and landlords as well as agents. Each listing shows who posted it, so you can contact the owner directly where available.
