An example of the arithmetic. The owner states the real number of cheques in the advert.
It depends on the area and the size. ADREC's median yearly rent for a 1 bedroom apartment runs from AED 40,081 (Mohammed Bin Zayed City) to AED 116,468 (Al Maryah Island), with AED 68,055 on Al Reem Island and AED 80,264 on Yas Island (Q2 2025, the latest quarter on ADREC's map). Villas and townhouses start higher: see the table above.
Not at renewal while the current rule lasts. Since 3 June 2026 the permitted yearly increase is 0% on residential, commercial and industrial property in Abu Dhabi, until further notice. ADREC says renewals and new agreements reference the rent on the last registered Tawtheeq contract. Al Reem and Al Maryah Islands are part of ADGM, which ADREC's H1 2026 report leaves out of the freeze: there ADGM says its existing 5% yearly cap continues. Check the latest position before you sign or renew.
Tawtheeq is Abu Dhabi's register of tenancy contracts. The landlord registers the lease on it, and the last registered contract is the rent reference for a renewal or a new tenant. As of October 2026, registering a new lease on TAMM costs AED 50, or 1% of a year's rent for a lease of four years or more. On Al Reem and Al Maryah Islands (ADGM) leases are registered on ADGM's AccessRP instead.
The tenancy law does not fix the deposit, so the contract sets it. Ask how much it is, who holds it and when it is returned, and get all three in writing.
The advert states how many cheques the owner accepts, for example 1 cheque. Ask for the number and the due dates in writing, and use the cheque planner on this page to see what each payment would be.
It pays for the use of the home. Utilities, parking, maintenance and any building charge are separate questions: ask who pays each one before you sign. Service charges are normally the owner's cost.
Yes. For 1 bedroom apartments in Q2 2025 a new lease cost 6% to 22% more than a renewal, depending on the area. Since 3 June 2026 renewals outside ADGM are processed at a 0% increase.
Outside ADGM, written notice two months before the lease expires, for a home. If nobody gives notice and the tenant stays, the lease renews on the same terms.
