Service Fees create ripples in the Dubai Rental Scene


A recent poll by a popular media entity in the region threw up some interesting insights into the preferences of Dubai residents. Questioned over the pinning of responsibility of paying off the service charges to master developers before agreeing to a Dubai rental, over half of the respondents decried that it rested with the property owner and not the tenant.

Almost a quarter of the remaining respondents opined that landlords that default on the payment of the service charges must be stopped by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), which is the property regulator in the Emirate. Master developers, who have been instrumental behind the construction of the property, too must share equal responsibility in preventing such unscrupulous landlords.

The payment of service fees snowballed into a huge firestorm that threatened to engulf all those involved. A Dubai rental property is often the most preferred choice of accommodation for the expat population that throngs to the Emirate and has made it the envy of the world. With a region that is just showing slivers of hope of pulling it out of the property recession, that has afflicted Dubai, in the past few years.

Progressive rental property companies like Move in Dubai, have been instrumental in educating prospective tenants on the pros and cons of renting a property in Dubai. Apart from having an extensive range of exquisite properties to suit most requirements in the region, they also specialize in guiding tenants through the entire process with special attention on getting the documentation in proper order.

Hollywood Props up the Dubai Rental Scene with its Latest Blockbuster Tribute

The tallest building in the world towers above those around it, as it races up to meet the sky. Located in Dubai, referred to some as the Las Vegas of the Middle East, the Burj Khalifa is a masterpiece that dazzles all those who come in its vicinity. Conceptualized and executed in record time, it truly is part piece of art, part engineering wonder.

Formerly known as the Burj Dubai, it was re-christened as a tribute to the honourable head of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahayan. Others refer to it as Dubai’s tribute to the financial support that’s been extended over time by the emirate of Abu Dhabi.

But perhaps, the most memorable tribute that this stunning architectural wonder might just have been the one that it received recently. Immortalized forever in the latest installment of the high voltage movie; Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol, the Burj Khalifa has gathered eye-balls from all over the world. Viewers are sure to have gasped in wonder as the lead protagonist leapt out of a window, only to dangle from it about a kilometer up in the air. He then continued to imitate the human fly and crawled up in a sideways motion over the spectacular stainless steel framework and glass clad facade.

This footage alone is expected to rejuvenate the fortunes of this edifice, that’s been rumored to have left a never ending hole in the finances of its developer. Many experts have since been commenting upon the goodwill that’s been spilling over onto the rest of Dubai’s realty market. Property dealers in areas such as the popular Dubai Marina, Palms, Jumeirah Lake Towers, Arabian Ranches, to name a few have been upbeat about the expected rise in footfalls.
