Moving to Dubai or switching apartments? Renting here follows a structured process governed by RERA and the Dubai Land Department. This guide walks you through every step — from Ejari registration to security deposits, cheque structures, and your rights as a tenant under Law No. 26 of 2007.

Key Topics Covered

  • Understanding the standard 12-month tenancy contract
  • Ejari registration — what it is and why it matters
  • Security deposit and commission breakdown
  • Rent payment structures (1, 2, 4, or 12 cheques)
  • Renewal process and RERA rent calculator
  • Early termination — your options and obligations

At Star Ships, we handle the entire leasing journey — from shortlisting units to contract signing and Ejari. Get in touch to start your search.
