Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about move in without deposit

How does Rently help me move in without a deposit?

When you apply with Rently, you can choose to have Rently cover your security deposit alongside your annual rent. Both are paid directly to your landlord upfront. Instead of producing a lump-sum deposit before your move-in date, the cost is spread across your monthly payments to Rently. At the end of your tenancy, your landlord returns the full deposit amount directly to you, as per your lease agreement.

Does my landlord still receive the full rent upfront?

Yes. Rently pays your landlord the complete annual rent in the cheque format they prefer, whether that is one, two, three, four, or six cheques. Your landlord receives exactly what they expect and is paid in full on time. From your landlord's perspective, the arrangement is no different from a standard tenancy. The monthly payment plan is entirely between you and Rently.

How transparent is the Rently service fee?

Your service fee is personalised and calculated based on details such as your income, financial profile, and your landlord's preferred payment method. Before you commit to anything, Rently provides a clear estimate of your monthly payment, including the service fee, so you can make an informed decision. There are no hidden charges added after you sign your contract.

Can I use Rently if I have not found an apartment yet?

Yes. Rently offers a pre-approval option for tenants who are still searching for a property. Getting pre-approved means that once you find the right apartment, you are ready to move quickly. This can be especially helpful in the UAE rental market, where desirable units are often taken fast and landlords appreciate tenants who can commit without delay.

Is Rently available across the UAE?

Rently currently operates in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, covering a wide range of residential properties regardless of the landlord, real estate agent, or platform you used to find your home. Rently works with any eligible property in these cities and is actively working to expand its coverage to additional emirates. Check the Rently website for the most current availability.
