1- Look for a property

The first step to renting is looking for a new home. Browse Property Finder to choose from a large selection of Abu Dhabi flats for rent. You can filter by location, price, size, amenities, and more, to find exactly what you’re looking for.

2- Contact the agent

Once a flat for rent in Abu Dhabi catches your eye, reach out to the agent who added the listing, to arrange a viewing and ask them questions.

To reserve your apartment, you need to pay a security deposit. This is usually 5% of the annual rent. Security deposits are refundable. However, if damages are found, a part of the security deposit is deducted.

Now that the tenancy contract has been signed by both parties, it should be registered with Tawtheeq, Abu Dhabi’s official register for tenancy contracts. The landlord or agent usually registers for Tawtheeq, which is needed for water and electricity activation.

4- Move in!

After you’re done with all of the steps above, you’re ready to move into your new Abu Dhabi flat for rent!
