Frequently asked questions

What is Mollak in Dubai?

RERA's regulated escrow + budgeting system for service charges. Every community's annual budget is approved by RERA and collected through Mollak, with itemised statements per owner.

Typical service charges by area in 2026?

Downtown AED 18–28/sqft, Marina AED 15–22, Business Bay AED 14–20, JVC AED 11–16, Dubai Hills AED 12–18, branded towers up to AED 35.

Can I dispute service charges?

Yes through RERA. If your community's charges are materially above benchmark or expenses look inflated, you can request audit and revision.

Are service charges higher for branded towers?

Yes, often 30–60% higher because of hotel-grade services (concierge, F&B, valet).
