The tenancy contract and registration
Tenancies are registered through Ejari. Your advisor will explain what the landlord and tenant each provide and when the registration is completed.
Cheques, deposit and fees
Rent is commonly paid by post-dated cheque in one to four instalments. Ask for the deposit, agency fee and registration charges in writing before you sign.
Move-in checks
Photograph the condition of the home and note any defects on the handover sheet, so there is a clear record when the tenancy ends.
