How It Works: Setup Process
Step 1: Business Model Definition
We assess your property management specialization, target market, portfolio size, and service offerings. This determines licensing category and regulatory requirements.

Your property management company is registered with the Department of Economy and Tourism with appropriate commercial activity classification.
Step 3: RERA Application Preparation
Comprehensive RERA documentation is prepared including business plan, management procedures, staff qualifications, financial information, and compliance framework.
Step 4: RERA Approval & Licensing
Application is submitted to RERA for review and approval, typically requiring 10-14 business days with complete documentation.
Step 5: DLD Property Manager Registration
Once RERA approves, we register your company as a licensed property manager with DLD.
Step 6: Professional Insurance Setup
Mandatory professional indemnity insurance and property management liability coverage is arranged.
Step 7: Client Trust Account Establishment
Bank account setup for holding client deposits, rental payments, and maintenance funds.

What is the duration of professional indemnity insurance required?
Professional indemnity insurance must be maintained throughout your operations. Minimum coverage is AED 250,000. Annual renewal is required with proof provided to RERA.

Can property managers handle multiple properties from multiple owners?

What regulations govern tenant relations and rent collection?
Dubai Rental Law and RERA regulations govern all tenant relations. Property managers must follow strict procedures for rent collection, dispute resolution, and tenant rights protection.
How does a property management company differ from a real estate company?
Property management focuses on tenant administration, maintenance coordination, and rent collection for existing properties. Real estate companies focus on property sales, purchases, and leasing transactions.
