|
| The Tenancy Agreement... |
The terms of the agreement that is what the owner and the tenant agree are the terms and conditions under which the property is tented. Typically this will include the length of the tenancy, if it is renewable, how the rent is to be paid and the sort of notice required to increase it, the rights of the tenant to privacy and how often inspections are carried out, the giving of notices and so forth.
Both parties sign the entry condition report when they agree it is accurate.
|
| Length of tenancy... |
The usual length of a fixed term tenancy is 12 months or 6 months in rare cases, but different periods can be agreed upon. Tenants seeking long-term security should consider the fixed term option, as under normal circumstances, a notice to vacate cannot be issued unless there has been a breach of the agreement. Nor can the rental amount stated in the, agreement be increased during the fixed term unless written into the agreement period.
Please pay close attention to the laws in Dubai, UAE and always check with a friend or seek advice on the normal standards of a tenancy agreement. Its best to get a legal advice before signing any documents.
|
| Entry costs... |
Deposit/Reservation Fee money paid by a tenant to reserve a property while an application to rent the property is being considered. Bear in mind, this does not guarantee the tenancy will go ahead. The amount is generally one week's rent, which is either treated as the first weeks rent if the application is successful, or refunded if it is not. Please make sure the receipt has a line stating that the refund of this fee is an option, and if not, then make sure the landlord writes that line into the receipt which could be the matter of getting your money back or loosing your deposit.
Pay close attention to the deadline of such deposits before you make a decision to move in, there could be a time line associated with this deposit and if delayed moving in, it could be lost.
|
| Rent... |
Rent increases can occur after a certain period, depending on what new arrangements are put in place, but an agreed amount of advance notice must be given to the tenant of any increases for instance in Dubai, UAE it is a minimum of 90 days. There is no standard agreement or law in place to determine the number of days, but it is usually 90 days as stated in most agreements.
|
| Tenant privacy and owner access... |
It is important to remember that there are two sets of "rights" here. You, the tenant, have a right to privacy in which to enjoy your occupancy of the rental premises in peace and quiet and without any unexpected interruptions.
You, the owner, have the right to enter your property to ensure it is being looked after according to the tenancy agreement and for some specified other reasons.
|
| Repairs... |
It is the owner's responsibility to maintain the rental premises and they are required to carry out urgent repairs at their expense as soon as reasonably possible. The sorts of repairs that are defined as urgent should be known by the owner and tenant, but they include things like... a burst water service, broken or blocked lavatory system, a failure of essential services such as cooking and any fault or damage that causes premises to be unsafe or not secure.
|
| Damage... |
Any damage must be immediately notified and it is best to do this in writing. The tenant will be expected to pay for any damage/repairs caused by negligence on the part of the tenant or another person allowed on the premises by the tenant.
|
| Insurance... |
As a landlord it is up to you to insure your property (i e. building and contents). It is not, however, your responsibility to insure the tenant's belongings. You might also consider insuring against loss of rental income following damage to your property and all that can be obtained from insurance companies in Dubai, UAE. The lists are available online.
|
| Locks and security... |
The owner must ensure that the rental premises are reasonably secure in terms of locks and security, but this does not mean making the place totally burglar proof. If you as the tenant feel the need for increased security then you must meet the cost of any additions and they can only be fitted after you have received permission for them from the owner.
|
| Ending the tenancy... |
A tenancy can be ended by the owner or the tenant for various reasons ranging from those, which are mutually agreed, like the simple expiry of the fixed term period stated in the agreement, to other more complex reasons, which may require adjudication at times. It is always good to be punctual with your rent in order for the landlord to make an exception when it comes to you ending your tenancy agreement before maturity.
