Overseas owner reviewing Dubai rental management reports and property documents

Property management

You approve every cost. You see every statement.

As an overseas owner, you set the approval limits in writing before we start, and every dirham we spend shows up on your statement.

How onboarding actually works.

  1. Property brief

    We agree what you want us handling and put your approval limits in writing, before we start work.

  2. Ejari and Mollak registration

    Your tenancy is registered through Ejari, and any service charges run through Mollak — the Land Department's two rental systems.

  3. First month's report

    Your first monthly statement covers rent, occupancy, expenses and maintenance activity, with the invoices attached.

  4. Ongoing approvals

    From then on, written thresholds decide what always needs your sign-off before any work begins.

What can we take off your hands?

Each responsibility should have a named owner, an approval rule and a record.

  • Tenant and lease

    Coordinate marketing, applicant screening against the criteria agreed with the owner, tenancy documents, Ejari steps, move-in and renewal milestones within the agreed scope.

  • Rent and records

    Track agreed rent collection, tenancy dates, deposits, notices, utility accounts, service-charge invoices and owner-facing statements.

  • Maintenance

    Triage issues, collect quotations, follow approval thresholds and retain invoices or completion evidence.

  • Condition inspections

    Carry out routine condition reports with dated photographs at agreed points — before a tenancy, at renewal and at move-out — and keep them in the owner record.

  • Short-let operation

    Holiday-home operation is scoped, permitted and priced separately from long-let management. It is included only when it has been agreed in writing and the required permit is in place for the unit.

What do you get to see every month?

  • Approval limits

    Written thresholds decide what always needs your approval before work begins. Service charges, major repairs and permit fees stay with you — we track and pay them on your behalf when agreed, and never absorb them.

  • Reporting

    A monthly statement covers rent, occupancy, expenses and maintenance activity.

  • Service boundaries

    Separate from legal representation, tax advice and major works — each is scoped and quoted on its own.

Which registrations does a Dubai rental carry?

  • Ejari lease registration

    A residential tenancy contract in Dubai is registered through Ejari, the Dubai Land Department’s tenancy registration system.

  • Mollak service charges

    Service charges on a jointly owned property are invoiced and collected through Mollak, the Dubai Land Department’s service-charge system.

  • Holiday-home permit

    Short-term and holiday-home letting requires an active permit from Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism, held per unit and renewed annually.

Property management questions

What is included in property management?

The scope is agreed before we start, and typically covers tenant sourcing and screening, lease administration and Ejari registration, rent collection, planned and reactive maintenance within approval limits, routine condition inspections, utility and service-charge handling, and owner reporting.

How often will I receive a report?

The default is a monthly statement covering rent received, occupancy, expenses and maintenance activity, with the supporting invoices attached. A different cadence can be agreed in the management scope.

How are maintenance requests handled?

Requests are triaged, quoted when the cost justifies it, and checked against the approval threshold before we go ahead. Work above the threshold waits for the owner’s approval; work below it proceeds and appears in the next statement with its invoice.

Is short-term rental operation included in property management?

Holiday-home operation has a different licensing and operating scope from long-let management, and it requires an active Department of Economy and Tourism permit for the unit. The intended rental route is agreed before responsibilities and fees are defined.

How do management fees work?

It's a percentage of rent collected for long-let, a different basis for short-let — and you get the exact rate in writing before you sign, based on your unit and scope.

Does management guarantee occupancy or rental income?

Occupancy and rent are never guaranteed — no management scope can promise a market outcome. What we do guarantee is process: written approval limits and a full paper trail on every statement.

Keep exploring before you decide.
