Step 1: Define Your Budget and Needs
Start by setting a realistic budget and identifying your must-have features — location, amenities, convenience, or lifestyle preferences. Remember that rental listings in Dubai show only the annual rent. Additional costs include:
- Security deposit (5–10% of annual rent)
- Brokerage fees (usually 5% of rent or AED 5,000 minimum)
- Utility deposits for DEWA, gas, and telecom connections
- Municipality housing fee (5% of annual rent)
- Moving and relocation expenses
