Dubai Marina rental guide
Dubai Marina is one of the most in-demand apartment communities in Dubai and was built around the marina and promenade. The rent fluctuates based on the residential tower, the floor of the apartment, the view and whether it is furnished or not. Apartments with the best views of the Marina and the sea, and those in newer residential towers such as Marina Gate, tend to command higher rents than the older residential towers that are available at a better rate but sit further from the water.
| Type | Typical market guide |
|---|---|
| Studio | From around AED 55,000 yearly |
| 1-bedroom | Around AED 75,000 to AED 120,000+ yearly |
| 2-bedroom | Around AED 110,000 to AED 180,000+ yearly |
| 3-bedroom and larger | Varies with tower, view, floor and furnishing |
These are general market guides based on active portal data and live listings. Final rent depends on the tower, the floor, the view, furnishing, cheques, parking and availability.

Apartments in Dubai Marina are very walkable and feature a waterfront location. There are several restaurants and cafes located in the area. Dubai Marina is also very well connected, with trams and metros that take you to the rest of Dubai with ease. Most of the towers have pools, gyms and parking spaces for their residents.
Some of the more popular apartment towers in Dubai Marina include Marina Gate, Princess Tower, The Address Dubai Marina and Damac Heights. We can show you the apartments that fit your budget and view preferences.
Yes, apartments with a marina or sea view and that occupy higher floors will command a premium in comparison to apartments with views of the neighbouring towers or the road. Let us know what is more important to you and we will work to balance that with your budget.
Yes, both furnished and unfurnished apartments are available for viewing. Furnished apartments are particularly in demand from individuals relocating to Dubai. Furnished apartments will cost a little more than unfurnished apartments.
The rental terms will vary from landlord to landlord. Some may ask for a single cheque for the year's rent, while others may be okay with receiving two, four or even six cheques for the year's rent. Let us know what works best for you and we will check with the property owners beforehand.
Security deposits for unfurnished apartments are usually around 5% of the annual rent. For furnished apartments, it may be a little more. The security deposit is refundable at the end of the tenancy, provided the unit is in good condition.
It depends on the tower. Some buildings include the maintenance fees of the tower in the rent that you are paying. In other towers, the cost of the chiller (cooling) is billed separately and can be quite significant during the summer months. This should be confirmed before renting.
Yes, there is a lot of short-term and holiday-let stock in the Marina, especially in the JBR area. If you are looking to rent an apartment for a longer tenancy, ensure that the apartment complex does not have a majority of holiday-let rentals.
Most apartments include at least one parking space. However, smaller apartments might share or charge for parking. We will confirm this for you when you express interest in an apartment.

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.
