RERA

When buying or selling a property, it is important to check that the real estate agent is registered with the government’s Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), which is there to safeguard and protect your rights.

An arm of the Dubai Land Department, the agency’s responsibilities include the following: licensing all real estate activities; regulating and registering rental agreements, owners’ associations, and real estate advertisements in the media; regulating and licensing real estate exhibitions; and publishing official research and studies for the sector.

Any potential property dispute can be taken to RERA; there are comprehensive rules on issues such as payments, escrow accounts and more. For more information, visit dubailand.gov.ae.
