Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about rent EMI

How does Rently's Rent EMI service work?

Rently's Rent EMI service works by paying your annual rent upfront to your landlord while you repay in convenient monthly installments. After sharing your lease details and getting approved, Rently handles the full payment to your landlord, allowing you to move in immediately. You then make monthly payments to Rently which include a small service fee, creating a manageable payment schedule that aligns with your monthly income.

Does my landlord receive the full annual rent payment?

Yes, your landlord receives the full annual rent payment upfront or in up to 6 cheques as per the lease agreement. This is the core benefit of Rently's service - landlords get their preferred payment structure while you gain the flexibility of monthly payments. The landlord experiences no difference from their standard rental collection process, which helps ensure they accept the arrangement. Your monthly payments are made to Rently, not directly to the landlord.

What service fee does Rently charge?

Rently charges a small service fee that's included in your monthly payments. The exact fee is determined based on your specific rental situation and will be transparently communicated during the application process before you commit. This fee covers the convenience of converting your annual rent into manageable monthly installments and the upfront payment Rently makes to your landlord. There are no hidden costs or unexpected charges.

Can Rently help with my security deposit as well?

Yes, Rently can also cover your security deposit and split it into manageable monthly installments along with your rent payments. This helps reduce the initial financial burden when securing a property. The full security deposit is paid to your landlord upfront, and you'll receive the deposit back from your landlord at the end of your lease term according to the standard terms in your rental agreement.

Is this service available throughout the UAE?

Rently's Rent EMI service is available to tenants across the UAE rental market. The service is designed specifically to address the UAE's annual rent payment culture, helping tenants manage their finances more effectively. Rently works with various landlords and property management companies throughout the UAE, making the service accessible whether you're renting in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or other emirates.
