How to rent an apartment in Dubai: A guide for newcomers?

To rent an apartment in Dubai, you'll typically need a residence visa, Emirates ID, and a salary certificate. From my experience moving here last year, the process can be straightforward if you follow the steps: first, identify your budget and preferred area, then contact a registered real estate agent or use online portals. Important: Always ensure your agent is registered with RERA and review the rental agreement carefully before signing.
