About this listen
Most Dubai rental scams don’t start with anything suspicious - and this is how thousands of renters lose money every year.
In this podcast, Lettings Director, Josh Buckle and Operations Director, Paul Kelly, show you how to safely rent in Dubai in 2026, especially if you’re relocating from overseas. From fake listings and unlicensed agents, to deposits sent too early, we break down exactly where the rental process goes wrong and how to avoid costly mistakes.
We cover the step-by-step Dubai rental process, including: finding a property, attending viewings, signing contracts, registering Ejari, and setting up DEWA. Plus, we highlight the red flags every renter should know, why overseas tenants are most at risk, and what to do if you’ve never been to Dubai before.
Josh also answers the most frequently asked questions from tenants, including:
- Can I rent before receiving my Emirates ID card?
- How is my rent paid in Dubai?
- What is an Ejari?
- Can landlords increase rent without any notice?
If you’re planning to move to Dubai this guide will save you thousands of dirhams and a lot of stress.
