How to avoid scams when renting in Dubai?

To avoid scams when renting in Dubai, always check listings on reputable websites such as Property Finder or consult licensed real estate agents. Having lived in Dubai for over 5 years, I can tell you to be wary of deals that seem too good to be true—like a three-bedroom apartment in Jumeirah for AED 3,000! Always request a viewing and ensure the landlord has proper documentation. Pro tip: Never transfer money before a signed agreement!
