    What is property management in Dubai, and what does it cost?

    Property management in Dubai is a service in which a RERA-certified company runs your rented home on your behalf: pricing and marketing the unit, screening tenants, drafting the tenancy contract and registering it with EJARI at the Dubai Land Department, collecting rent, coordinating maintenance, handling renewals against the RERA rental index, and filing at the Rental Disputes Centre if something goes wrong. It is used mainly by overseas landlords, investors holding several units, and owners who simply do not want the day-to-day calls. Binayah's property management fees run from 5% to 10% of rent depending on the plan, with no upfront charge, and every plan includes EJARI registration and monthly owner reporting.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does property management cost in Dubai?
    Binayah's property management fees range from 5% to 10% of monthly rent, depending on the service level. Standard management (rent collection, EJARI, basic maintenance) starts at 5%/month. Full-service management including tenant finding, 24/7 maintenance, and legal support is 10%/month. There are no upfront fees, and the fee is charged as rent is collected. Third-party costs such as EJARI registration, DEWA deposits and contractor invoices are billed at cost and shown in your monthly statement.
    What is included in Dubai property management services?
    A full-service property management package includes: tenant screening and placement, tenancy contract drafting, EJARI registration, rent collection and remittance, maintenance coordination (emergency and planned), quarterly property inspections, monthly financial reporting, renewal negotiation against the RERA rental index, and dispute resolution. Binayah manages the entire landlord-tenant relationship on your behalf.
    Can Binayah manage my property if I live abroad, and do you need power of attorney?
    Yes, overseas landlords are one of our most common cases. Russian, European, Chinese, and other international investors rely on Binayah to manage their Dubai investments remotely: rent is remitted to your bank account and monthly reports arrive by email or through the owner portal, and you never need to fly in for routine management. Routine management runs on a signed management agreement, not a power of attorney. A notarised power of attorney is only needed if you want a representative to sign for you on matters like selling or transferring the property at the Dubai Land Department, and it can be notarised in Dubai or attested abroad through the UAE embassy with a legal Arabic translation.
    How quickly can Binayah find me a tenant?
    For well-priced properties, Binayah typically finds a qualified tenant within 2-4 weeks. We list on Bayut, Propertyfinder, Dubizzle, and our own database of pre-qualified tenants. Our Premium and Full Service plans include professional photography to maximise listing performance.
    What is EJARI and why is it required?
    EJARI is the official tenancy registration system in Dubai, required by the Dubai Land Department for all rental contracts. Without EJARI registration, tenants cannot get UAE residency visas, utility connections, or school enrolments, and a landlord cannot file a case at the Rental Disputes Centre. It also protects both landlord and tenant legally. Binayah handles EJARI registration as part of all management plans.
    How much can I increase the rent when the tenancy renews?
    Rent increases in Dubai are capped by Decree No. 43 of 2013 and calculated against the RERA rental index, not by what the landlord would like to charge. If the current rent is within 10% of the market rate for comparable units, no increase is permitted. Increases are capped at 5% where rent is 11-20% below market, 10% where it is 21-30% below, 15% where it is 31-40% below, and 20% where it is more than 40% below. Any increase or change of terms must be notified to the tenant in writing at least 90 days before renewal. Binayah checks the index before every renewal and issues the notice on time.
    What happens if a tenant doesn't pay the rent?
    Binayah runs a structured escalation: reminder notices, a formal 30-day notice to settle served through a notary or registered post, and, if the arrears remain, a case at the Rental Disputes Centre (RDC). UAE law allows landlords to evict non-paying tenants, though a contested case typically takes months rather than weeks. Thorough tenant screening and post-dated cheque management are what actually keep default risk low.
    How are rental disputes handled in Dubai?
    Landlord-tenant disputes are heard by the Rental Disputes Centre (RDC), part of the Dubai Land Department, under Law No. 26 of 2007 as amended by Law No. 33 of 2008. A registered EJARI contract is required to file. The filing fee is 3.5% of the annual rent, subject to a minimum of AED 500 and a maximum of AED 20,000. Most matters we handle, late payment, renewal disagreements, deposit deductions, are resolved before filing. Where a case is unavoidable, your account manager prepares the file and coordinates legal representation.
    Who pays the service charges, the landlord or the tenant?
    Service charges are an owner cost in Dubai. They are paid by the landlord to the owners association or building management, calculated per square foot against the service charge index approved by RERA, and they are not passed to the tenant. The tenant pays DEWA, cooling or chiller charges where these are billed separately, internet, and the 5% Dubai Municipality housing fee collected through the DEWA bill. Binayah tracks service charge invoices for managed units so payments are not missed and an NOC is not blocked later.
    Should I let my property long-term or as a short-term holiday home?
    Long-term (annual) letting gives predictable income, one tenant, low turnover cost and simple compliance through EJARI, which is why it suits most owners. Short-term holiday-home letting can produce higher gross returns in tourist-heavy communities but requires a permit from Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism for each unit, tourism dirham collection, higher operating and furnishing costs, and it is not allowed under every building's rules. Binayah's management plans cover long-term tenancies, and we will tell you honestly which model your specific unit and community are suited to.
    Can I switch to Binayah if I already have a property manager?
    Yes. Switching is straightforward, we take over management at lease renewal or, in some cases, during the existing tenancy with proper notice to the current manager. Your Binayah account manager collects the tenancy contract, EJARI certificate, cheques and maintenance history and handles the full transition process.
    What types of properties does Binayah manage?
    We manage all residential property types: studios, 1-5 bedroom apartments, townhouses, villas, and penthouses. Properties across all major Dubai communities including Dubai Marina, Downtown, Palm Jumeirah, JVC, Business Bay, Arabian Ranches, and more.
