There’s no doubt that UAE attracts millions of expats every year. The exquisitely beautiful beaches, high luxurious lifestyle, amazing weather, career development, multicultural living, safety and great night life. These are the factors that make UAE a popular place to relocate to. Dubai welcomes and embraces millions of visitors and expats, with dreams of making it big, every year. A far and wide spread infrastructure is efficiently in place to accommodate all who land here with big dreams. More than two thirds of people living in the UAE rent their homes rather than buying. So the never ending high demand for rental properties keeps the cost towards a rising trend. Average rent in UAE increase or decrease every year depending on various economic factors and it’s very normal for people to change their home every year or two to keep up with ever-changing needs. When you arrive in your new home, its simple and exciting. The problem arises when you are moving out and the landlord is not paying back security deposit.
Along utilities’ security deposit, property owners across emirates demand a security deposit either in cash or by cheque, when a tenant signs rental contract. Landlord is entitled to deduct amount for any damage caused to the property by the tenant and not by regular 'wear & tear'. As the tenant is not liable to pay the landlord for normal wear and tear. Since the term is not clearly defined in the contracts, the landlords/agents have been seen to be taking advantage by deducting amount from security deposit for maintenance of the property for normal wear and tear. The tenants mostly struggle to recover their security deposits as landlords find excuses to deduct when you vacate the property.
But, there is a solution to that problem. It is recommended that tenants should inspect the property and note down the present condition of the property in which it is being handed over to the tenant. Filling a comprehensive property condition report between tenant and landlord/agent can save both parties of any security deposit dispute. A sample property condition report as below could be used during a tenancy agreement and attached as an annexure to the contract.
