The AC stopped working and the landlord isn’t answering. Who pays?
Usually your landlord. Under Dubai law, repairs that stop you using the home are on the landlord, unless your contract says otherwise.
- Message the landlord with photos and the date it broke.
- Give a clear deadline, for example 3 days.
- Still nothing? Keep every message: it’s your record if you go to the Rental Disputes Center.

Is this a good deal?
Listing · Studio · JVC · AED 53,000 a year · 1 cheque · chiller free · agent fee 5%
The rent is about 10% above usual for a studio in JVC. Signed contracts there have a median of AED 48,000 a year (7,587 contracts, Oct 2025 – Sep 2026).
- One cheque means paying the whole year upfront. Ask for 4.
- “Chiller free” means cooling is in the rent, so there’s no separate cooling bill.
- Before you pay anything, check the agent’s permit in Dubai REST.

Local rules, with the source
Answers come from local laws and official services that our analyst checks. Each one links to its source and shows the date of the version we used.
Sums calculated, not guessed
Rent increase, move-in day, renew or move: Etan works it out in a calculator, using a fee table with sources, and shows every line.
Prices from real contracts
We compare a rent with official data on signed contracts in that area, updated every month. You see whether a price is fair before you pay.
