Yes. The BurJuman and Khalid Bin Al Waleed area has a good supply of apartments within walking distance of the metro and the mall, which makes it popular with the city's commuting professionals.

Many are. There are several family-oriented buildings in the area and many schools and hospitals nearby. You can check directly with the building to see if it is a family-only residential building.

Yes, both furnished and unfurnished apartments are available for rent. Furnished apartments are better for those relocating to Dubai or renting for only a few months, while unfurnished apartments cost less rent.

It will depend on the landlord. Some will take a single cheque for the year's rent, while many will take cheques for two, four or six months' rent. Please let us know what kind of arrangement you are looking for and one of our leasing consultants will check availability for you prior to viewing any properties.

5% of the annual rent is typically required for unfurnished apartments, and furnished apartments may require a little more than that. It is refundable at the end of the tenancy, subject to the condition of the apartment.

It depends on the building. In some buildings the utility is included in the rent, and in others the chiller (cooling) is billed separately to your account. Please confirm this before you sign the lease agreement.

Typically, a passport copy, your visa or Emirates ID, sometimes a salary certificate or proof of income, and the cheques for the rent and security deposit are required. The landlord will tell you exactly what they need.

Studio flats in Bur Dubai start at around AED 40,000 per year. Studios in older buildings in areas like Al Raffa or Al Hamriya will be on the lower end of that price, while properties in newer buildings near BurJuman or Dubai Healthcare City will cost more. Included facilities like a chiller and parking will have a bigger impact on the yearly rental than the floor area of the studio.

Yes, although they are taken quickly. One bedroom flats for rent in Bur Dubai range between AED 65,000 and AED 100,000 per year. Any unit below AED 70,000 will be either in an older building or on a street that's a ways from the main road in Bur Dubai. If you have a budget in mind for the rent you're looking to pay for a one bedroom flat, tell our leasing consultants and they'll call you when there's something available within your budget.

The shops with the most foot traffic will command higher rents than others. The rental prices for shops in Bur Dubai range quite widely. Just let us know your trade licence activity and we'll find units suitable for your shop activity.

Yes, but within the limits of Dubai's rental law, not at the landlord's discretion. First, if the landlord or their agent does not send you written notice of a rent increase at least 90 days before your contract expires, then you are entitled to renew your apartment for another year at the same rent, even if their notice arrives on the 89th day. Second, the maximum rent that can be asked of you is determined by the Dubai REST app's RERA rental increase calculator, not by the landlord. It works from how far your rent sits below the market rate for your area: if your rent is already within 10% of that rate, no increase is allowed at all, and the increase only climbs the further below market you are, up to a maximum of 20%. So if a landlord asks for, say, 10% or 15% more, check the calculator first; you only pay an increase if it shows one is due, and only up to that figure. Should your landlord still request more than the calculator allows, you can take your tenancy contract and renewal cheques to the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre (RDC) and file a case with them.
