Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about reduce upfront rent cost dubai

How does Rently help reduce my upfront rent cost in Dubai?

In Dubai, landlords typically require one to several post-dated cheques covering the full year's rent before you move in. Rently pays your landlord the full annual rent upfront on your behalf, according to the cheque schedule agreed in your lease. You then repay Rently in monthly payments that include a transparent service fee, so your upfront cost is reduced to your first monthly payment rather than a lump sum.

Does my landlord need to agree to use Rently?

Your landlord does not need to change anything about how they operate. Rently pays them the full annual rent upfront via the number of cheques specified in your tenancy agreement, whether that is one, two, three, four, or six cheques. From the landlord's perspective, they receive full payment as agreed, which means Rently works with any landlord, agent, or property across Dubai.

What is the service fee and how is it calculated?

Rently charges a service fee that is added to your monthly payments. The fee is personalized based on your individual application details and is not a flat rate applied to everyone. You can use the calculator on the Rently website to get a clear estimate of your monthly payment amount, including the service fee, before you commit to anything.

Can Rently also help with my security deposit?

Yes, as an optional addition to the core service, Rently can pay your security deposit to the landlord upfront on your behalf. The deposit amount is then included in your monthly payment schedule alongside your rent. At the end of your tenancy, the full security deposit is returned to you directly by the landlord, in line with standard UAE tenancy terms.

Is Rently available for any property in Dubai?

Rently works with any residential property available for rent in Dubai, regardless of which real estate agent, landlord, or platform you found it through. You are not restricted to a specific property marketplace or a curated list of buildings. If you have found an apartment you want to rent in Dubai, you can apply with Rently and, once approved, Rently will pay your landlord the full annual rent so you can move in.
