What documents are required to legally rent out my property in Dubai?
To legally rent out your property in Dubai, you must provide a copy of your Title Deed, your passport and Emirates ID, and register the tenancy contract through RERA’s Ejari system.
These documents ensure your leasing agreement is officially recognized and enforceable under Dubai’s rental laws. So what does this mean for you as a landlord? It means your property is protected under RERA regulations, and your tenant’s rights are also safeguarded.

Always ensure the tenancy contract complies with RERA regulations to avoid penalties.
If using an agent, verify their RERA license to ensure compliance.
