• Before signing your tenancy contract, make sure you thoroughly 
understand your rights and duties as a tenant, as well as Dubai's

control the landlord-tenant relationship and clearly specify the 
distribution of responsibilities in order to avoid misunderstandings and 
disputes.

• The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) manages the landlord-
tenant relationship in Dubai under the Dubai Rental Law No. 26 of 
2007 (and revisions from Law No. 33). (2008). To avoid possible 
problems and confusion, the law defines the duties and obligations of 
landlords and renters.

No. 26 of 2013, investigates and settles all rental conflicts in Dubai, 
whereas Decree No. 43 of 2013 governs all rent hikes.
What Should Be Covered In A 
Tenancy Contract?
• Regardless if you’re taking a villa or a studio apartment for rent in Dubai, 
the following information should be included in a tenancy contract:
• Name and contact information for the landlord
• Name and contact information for the tenant
• Property details include the entire address, property name and 
location, plot number, and DEWA property number.

Conclusion
• It’s crucial to adhere to the tenancy law to ensure you’re able to 
exercise your rights if the need arises. However, finding the right 
property for rent, while completing all the paperwork, can be 
cumbersome. To get through the process, you should 
consider hiring professionals like Al Manal, who will guide you and 
provide unparalleled support through your entire renting journey.
