Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about rent 12 cheques dubai

How does Rently let me pay rent with 12 cheques?

In Dubai, most landlords prefer one to four post-dated cheques for the full annual rent, which places a large upfront burden on tenants. Rently steps in by paying your landlord the full annual rent upfront on your behalf, using the number of cheques your landlord requires. You then repay Rently in 12 manageable monthly payments, plus a transparent service fee, so you effectively enjoy the flexibility of 12 cheques without asking your landlord to accept them.

Does my landlord need to change anything for this to work?

No. Your landlord receives the full annual rent upfront in the format they prefer, whether that is one, two, three, four, or six cheques. From the landlord's perspective, nothing changes. Rently handles the upfront payment directly, so you can negotiate and secure any property in Dubai without asking your landlord to accept monthly payments or change their standard lease terms.

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 factors such as your income profile and your landlord's preferred payment method. You can use the calculator on the Rently website to see your estimated monthly cost before you apply, so there are no surprises. Rently's team will also confirm the exact fee as part of your application review.

Can Rently also cover my security deposit?

Yes, this is an optional feature you can add during your application. If you choose to activate it, Rently pays your security deposit to the landlord upfront alongside the annual rent. The deposit cost is then spread across your monthly payments. At the end of your lease, your landlord returns the full security deposit directly to you, in line with your tenancy agreement.

Which properties in Dubai are eligible for Rently?

Rently works with any residential rental property in Dubai, regardless of the real estate agency, listing platform, or individual landlord involved. You are not limited to a specific marketplace or developer. If you have not found a property yet, you can also apply for pre-approval so you are ready to move quickly once you secure the right home.
