Bullet-Point Property: Dubai No. 111

Did you know that Dubai Tenancy Contracts are for 12 months? 

Landlords can expect to receive the year's rent in advance via one to six post-dated cheques (PDCs). 

The landlord does not need to pay his agent anything because the tenant pays the commission 

Dubai's market average for tenants remaining in the same property is 3.5 years, and occupancy levels can reach over 95% in certain buildings and areas

Net annual rental yields can be anywhere between 5% and 10%

Rental Income is Tax-Free

Does a local or overseas landlord need to pay a property management company? I say maybe not but contact me for more details here
