What Is Rent-to-Own Property Registration in the UAE?

Secure Your Path to Homeownership Through EGSH

Rent-to-Own Property Registration in UAE refers to the official recording of a lease-to-own agreement in the provisional real estate register. This process protects the rights of both the tenant (lessee) and the financing entity by legally recognising the agreement with the Dubai Land Department. EGSH ensures that your lease-to-own property contract is registered accurately and fully complies with DLD regulations, offering a secure path toward property ownership in the UAE.

What are the official fees for Rent-to-Own property registration in the UAE?

The official registration fees include 2% of the annual rental value payable by the tenant, plus 2% of the sale price from both the seller and the buyer. In addition, AED 10 is charged for Knowledge and Innovation fees, and AED 1,000 for the e-registration service. Payments are made through the Noqodi system or the developer’s escrow account.

Do I need to register my Rent-to-Own property within a specific period?

The rent-to-own contract must be registered with the Dubai Land Department within 90 days of the signing date. Failure to register within this period may result in penalties or contract disputes.

What should I do if the buyer is a minor?

If the buyer is a minor, their legal guardian must sign the rent-to-own contract. Additionally, a valid copy of the guardian’s Emirates ID or passport must be included in the application. This ensures that the DLD recognises the transaction and registers it in compliance with UAE property registration laws.

What is a Bank Letter, and why is it required for Rent-to-Own Registration?

A Bank Letter is an official document from the financing bank confirming the rental value and terms of the lease-to-own agreement. The transaction’s financial structure with the DLD must be verified. Without this letter, lease-to-own properties in Dubai cannot be registered.

Can foreign or GCC companies register a Lease-to-Own property?

Yes, both foreign and GCC companies can register rent-to-own properties in Dubai. They must provide a valid trade license, the license holder’s passport or ID, a notarised and Arabic-translated Memorandum of Association, and a shareholder certificate. Foreign companies also need a Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation and, if based in a free zone, a one-year No Objection Certificate.
