Can I rent out and manage my Dubai property while living abroad?
Yes - there is no residency requirement to own or let Dubai property, and rental income can be transferred abroad freely. Most overseas owners appoint a RERA-licensed property manager (typically 5-8% of gross annual rent, plus a one-off tenant-finding fee) and grant a Power of Attorney. RDC cases can be filed and heard online remotely.
Rules and eligibility criteria change — confirm the current position with the relevant authority before acting. This is general information, not legal advice.
Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
