Most people rent before considering whether to buy a property. In general, rents are higher the closer you are to downtown or the beach. As you move further inland, rents decrease. Unfortunately, in the UAE, it is not usual for landlords to allow rent payments monthly.
Annual rent is usually paid in 1, 2, 3, or 4 installments (with post-dated cheques) and you may be able to negotiate a lower rent if you pay for a whole year upfront. Rents vary a lot and although rents decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic, they have been increasing in more recent years.
