Professional property management has a direct impact on a landlord’s ROI by:
● Reducing vacancy periods through faster tenant acquisition.
● Ensuring legal rent adjustments at renewal using the RERA index.
● Preventing costly legal delays by filing compliant notices.
● Protecting long-term value with proactive maintenance, inspections, and timely repairs. Industry data from Dubai Land Department’s rental performance indicators (2025) shows that managed properties outperform self-managed ones by 8–12 % annual yield due to consistent occupancy and timely renewals.

Licensed property managers handle rent collection through DLD-approved channels, issue official receipts, and keep everything compliant with RERA’s payment documentation rules. If a tenant defaults, the manager sends the required legal notices and can represent the landlord at the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre (RDSC). This ensures any eviction or rent recovery follows Article 25 of the tenancy law.

Landlords must handle structural maintenance and major repairs unless the lease states otherwise, based on Law No. 26 of 2007 (Article 16). Landlords must ensure the property remains fit for use throughout the lease period. On the other hand, tenants are responsible for any minor wear and tear.

Rent adjustments follow the Dubai Rental Index (available via the Dubai REST App). If the current rent is within 10% of the average market rate, no increase will be allowed. Any increase above the index limit is legally invalid.

Under Law No. 26 of 2007 (Article 13), both landlords and tenants must give 90 days’ written notice if they want to change the rent or not renew the lease. If no notice is given, the request becomes invalid and the contract renews automatically on the same terms.

Fees usually range from 5% of the annual rent or AED 2,000–2,500 per unit, in line with DLD guidelines. These charges typically cover tenant management, renewals, inspections, and legal compliance. Many companies also offer premium packages that include handover snagging, marketing, and portal listings all carried out under RERA supervision.

Having a licensed property manager ensures that your property is handled in full compliance with Dubai’s real estate laws. A licensed firm:
● Ensures adherence to RERA regulations, Ejari registration, and all required notice periods.
● Protects landlords from penalties that can arise from improper eviction or renewal procedures. ● Helps maximise ROI by reducing vacancies, coordinating maintenance, and managing rent review.
● Can represent landlords at the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre (RDSC) when necessary. Owners who self-manage often lose rent increases or face delays in dispute resolution due to procedural errors.
