“The angel holds all strength”: Reddit Post

Dubai rental market offers a complex scene in favor of the owners and real estate agents, and often harms tenants through unworthy payments, hidden fees, and the minimum protection of tenants, as modern on Reddit.

In a detailed post, Redditor complained that unlike most global cities where rent is usually paid monthly, Dubai owners often require tenants to pay in one, two or four checks for the entire year. This structure is not specified with shared income cycles, forcing tenants to manage large payments provided.

Dubai real estate agents play an important role in the rental market, but they often provide limited support to tenants. “Dubai real estate agents do only huge commissions (5 % of the annual rent) while standing with the owners. They increase real estate, fade after the deal, ignore the fears of tenants – which leads to reinforcement of tenants in disputes.”

Unnecessary security deposits are another controversial issue. The angel requires large sediments routinely, yet the post indicates that it is rarely returned completely. “Simple tear? Divived. Return? Discount. In many cases, the tenants do not see this money again,” the user complained.

The complexity of the situation for tenants is the hidden graphics. Tenants are often required to pay additional fees for rental registration and renewal of contracts. Moreover, the choice of payment of rent monthly, as other criteria, bears additional fees, which makes flexibility a costly option in this market.

The system is characterized by its lack of the real world alignment with the tenant’s income courses, which creates financial pressure for many of the population. Unpleasant payment structures and additional administrative fees are exacerbated by the financial burden that was placed on tenants, mostly immigrants. This system appears to be designed for the benefit of the owners in the first place, with minimal protection of the tenant.

Post Reddit has sparked a long discussion with users who often agree with the user. “This is completely ridiculous. The banks do not give you decent attention, but the angel has found a way to earn easy money. They take huge rental amounts in advance, stick to your money for several months, and they behave as they do in your favor,” as a user published.

“One of the options is the attempt to rent directly from property management companies Dubai and the United Arab Emirates in general, now addressed to homeowners and not home tenants. The more you can move from the last to the first, the more likely your stay in Dubai,” you share another user.
