Long-Term vs Short-Term Residential Leasing

Iznik Properties facilitates leasing across two primary duration categories, each with distinct legal frameworks and client profiles:

Long-Term Leasing

Standard 1-year (12-month) renewable tenancy contracts registered via Ejari. Governed by Dubai Tenancy Law No. 26 of 2007 and subsequent amendments. Rent paid via post-dated cheques (1 to 12 cheques agreed between parties). Protected by RERA Rental Index for permissible rent increase benchmarks. Most common lease type for residential properties.

Short-Term Leasing

Leases of less than 12 months, typically 1 to 11 months. Growing demand from business travellers, project-based professionals, and transitional residents. Requires DTCM Holiday Home licence for the landlord if operating as a furnished short-term rental. Iznik Properties assists landlords in ensuring regulatory compliance. Less regulated in terms of rent increase rules; market-rate pricing applies.

Furnished vs Unfurnished

Iznik Properties handles both furnished (higher rent, broader tenant appeal) and unfurnished (typically lower rent, longer tenancy) rentals. Inventory lists and condition reports are prepared for all furnished rentals at handover and check-out.

Corporate Leasing

Large-format unit rental to corporate entities for staff accommodation, executive housing, or serviced apartment blocks. Multi-unit corporate tenancy packages available. Invoicing in company name with corporate tenancy contracts.
