Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about split rent calculator dubai

How does Rently help when splitting rent in Dubai?

When you and your flatmates find a place in Dubai, the landlord typically expects one to six post-dated cheques covering the full annual rent upfront. Rently pays that full amount directly to the landlord on your behalf. You and your co-tenants then repay Rently in monthly payments, which include a small service fee, making it straightforward to divide and budget your share each month.

Does Rently work with any apartment in Dubai?

Yes. Rently is property-agnostic, meaning it works with any residential unit available for rent in Dubai, regardless of the landlord, real estate agent, or listing platform you used to find the property. You are not limited to a specific marketplace or partner network, so you and your flatmates can choose freely from the full range of available apartments.

How transparent is the service fee for split renters?

The service fee is calculated individually based on factors such as your credit history, monthly financial obligations, and your landlord's preferred payment method. You can see your estimated monthly cost, including the fee, directly in Rently's online calculator before committing to anything. There are no hidden charges added after the fact, so each flatmate can see exactly what their share amounts to.

Can Rently also cover the security deposit when splitting?

Yes, covering the security deposit is an optional add-on you can select during your Rently application. If you choose it, Rently pays the deposit directly to the landlord alongside the annual rent. The deposit cost is then folded into your monthly payment schedule. At the end of your tenancy, your landlord returns the full deposit to you directly, in line with your lease agreement.

Is Rently available across the UAE or only in Dubai?

Rently is available across five emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, and Ras Al Khaimah. So whether you and your flatmates are searching for a shared apartment in Dubai or considering other emirates, Rently's monthly payment model may be available to help you avoid large upfront cheque payments and plan your split costs with greater clarity.
