Frequently asked questions

Are postdated cheques still legal in Dubai?

Yes. They are heavily used for off-plan instalments and rent. Reform in 2022 decriminalised consumer bounced cheques below AED 200K but commercial misuse remains criminal.

What happens if my postdated cheque bounces?

Below AED 200K (consumer): civil collection via partial payment certificate. Above AED 200K or commercial: criminal complaint possible. In all cases your credit record (AECB) is damaged.

Can I pay developer instalments by bank transfer instead?

Yes — most developers accept bank transfer or manager's cheque on the due date. PDCs simply automate the process.

How many rent cheques do landlords accept?

Typically 1, 2, 4 or 12. 1-cheque rentals get a 5–10% discount; 12-cheque rentals carry a 5–10% premium.
