Villas for Rent in Abu Dhabi

In Abu Dhabi, rental prices do not usually include maintenance charges. However, if you are renting a villa in Abu Dhabi or staying in a gated community, you may be required to pay monthly maintenance fees separately for the upkeep of common areas and amenities. This includes landscaping, pool maintenance, and other essential services that ensure you continue to enjoy a quality lifestyle. Large repairs or maintenance work specific to your rental unit are usually taken care of by the landlord unless stated otherwise. Make sure you read your rental agreement and have clarity on what payments you are responsible for before signing.

• Passport copy with entry stamp or visa-in-process  

• Some landlords may require a larger upfront payment or proof of future income/employment

Yes, a security deposit is typically required when renting a villa in Abu Dhabi. Most landlords ask for a refundable deposit equal to 5% of the annual rent. This deposit is held to cover any potential damages or unpaid bills and is returned at the end of the lease, provided the property is in good condition. You may also be required to present post-dated cheques. They are a standard payment method for renting property in Abu Dhabi. Tenants usually provide 1 to 4 cheques covering the full year’s rent. These cheques must be from a UAE bank account and are submitted at the time of signing the tenancy agreement. Bounced cheques can have legal consequences, so timely funding is essential.
