Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about rent loan alternative in dubai

How does Rently work as a rent loan alternative?

Rently isn't a traditional loan but a Rent Now, Pay Later service. We pay your full annual rent directly to your landlord upfront, allowing you to secure your home immediately. You then repay Rently in convenient monthly installments that include a small service fee. This provides you financial flexibility while giving landlords the security of receiving their full annual rent.

Does my landlord receive the full annual rent payment?

Yes, your landlord receives their full annual rent upfront or in up to 6 cheques as per their requirement. This is one of the key benefits of Rently - landlords get their preferred payment terms while you enjoy the flexibility of monthly payments. There's no change to the landlord's income expectations, which makes Rently an attractive option for both parties in the rental agreement.

What service fee does Rently charge?

Rently charges a small service fee that's incorporated into your monthly installments. The exact fee varies based on your specific rental agreement and other factors related to your application. We pride ourselves on transparency, so all fees are clearly explained before you commit. Our goal is to provide affordable flexibility that makes renting in Dubai more accessible.

Can Rently help with my security deposit too?

Yes, Rently can cover your security deposit in addition to your annual rent. Instead of paying this large sum upfront, we'll include it in your monthly installments, making it more manageable for your budget. At the end of your lease, you'll receive the full deposit back from your landlord according to the terms of your lease agreement.

Is Rently available throughout the UAE?

Rently serves tenants throughout the UAE, with strong presence in Dubai and other emirates. Our Rent Now, Pay Later service is designed specifically for the UAE rental market where annual upfront payments are common. We partner with various public and private entities across the UAE to provide innovative rental solutions for tenants looking for more financial flexibility.
