Frequently asked questions

Long-let vs short-let in Dubai — which pays more?

Short-let typically grosses 30–60% more in tourist zones (Marina, Downtown, JBR, Palm) but with 15–25% management fee and higher utility/cleaning costs. Net yield gap is often 20–35%.

Do I need a licence to Airbnb in Dubai?

Yes — Dubai Tourism (DTCM) issues a Holiday Home licence (~AED 1,500/year per unit). Operating without it is illegal and fineable.

What is Ejari?

Mandatory registration of every Dubai rental contract with RERA. Either landlord or tenant can register; cost is ~AED 220. Without Ejari the tenant cannot get DEWA or visa renewal.

Typical management fees?

Long-let: 5% of annual rent or 1 month. Short-let: 15–25% of revenue (full-service) or 8–12% (channel management only).
