Finish snagging before your first tenant

Collecting the keys to a new apartment on Yas Island or Saadiyat can make you want to rent it out the same week. Wait until the developer's snag list is closed. Once a tenant lives there, every remaining fix means arranging developer visits around someone else's routine, and a minor defect can become a source of complaints during the first months of the tenancy. Before advertising, test every system yourself: AC in each room, water pressure, drainage, sockets, appliances and door locks. Keep the developer's defect reporting contact and the reference numbers of any open items. When the list is closed, record the finished condition with dated photos. Your first tenant then moves into a completed home, and the tenancy starts without a backlog of repairs. Prepared by Masterpiece Property.
