1. Your real budget

   Ask for the payment schedule, deposit, agency fees and which utility, cooling and internet bills are included. Keep upfront cash separate from your monthly budget.

2. Documents & timing

   Confirm the move-in date, minimum term, required documents and how this tenancy contract is registered. Ask what can be arranged before you arrive.

3. Your daily routine

   Check your commute at the times you will travel, access to shops and transport, parking and any schools you need. Confirm the exact address with the agent.

Requirements depend on the emirate, property and contract. Use the official guides to check your situation.
