How do I manage and rent out the property while living abroad?
Appoint a licensed property-management company, typically charging 5-8% of annual rent. They source and screen tenants, register the Ejari tenancy, transfer DEWA utilities, collect rent, handle maintenance and pay service charges, sending monthly reports. Budget total holding costs at roughly 27-38% of rent.
Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
