Things to consider before managing your own property:

Property Management

Although it is entirely possible to manage your own property and cutting out the middle man does come with its own perks, there’s still a truckload of responsibilities to keep track of. For starters, as a landlord be prepared to keep track of any maintenance issues involved.

Local Rules and Regulations

Being a holiday home owner in Dubai requires adhering to several local regulations such as registering as a holiday home operator with the Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM). The DTCM also requires a small tourism fee when the property is let out.

Before renting a home out as a holiday home, the owner must also ensure that the home is fully furnished with access to Wifi and DEWA connection. The DTCM provides an extensive guide to registering your property as a holiday home.

Once these specifications and conditions are met, and the DTCM license is acquired, the landlord is free to let their property out on a short-term basis. The request is usually reviewed with 24 hours and is granted for a year with costs ranging from AED 1,000 to 2,000.

Extensive Marketing

Lastly but most importantly, once your home is ready to be let out – you must ensure that the home gains the visibility and reach required to maintain a full calendar. This includes registering your property in booking sites, consistently managing your bookings and revenue.
