Frequently Asked Questions

What is RERA's core role in Dubai's real estate sector?

RERA (the Real Estate Regulatory Agency) oversees Dubai's property market to create a transparent, fair and secure environment. It protects the rights of tenants and landlords, regulates tenancy contracts and ensures compliance with sector regulations.

Is RERA legally binding in Dubai?

Yes. RERA is an official government body operating under the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and is actively enforced across the emirate. It brings trust, transparency and order to developers, investors, buyers and tenants alike, and its standards help position Dubai as a globally preferred real estate investment hub.

Is a RERA certificate mandatory for real estate companies in Dubai?

Yes. A RERA certificate is a legal requirement for anyone wishing to work professionally in Dubai's real estate sector. It requires completing a training programme and passing the official exam, and it formally certifies that the holder understands Dubai's real estate laws and ethical standards.

How do you register with RERA as a real estate agent?

Anyone wishing to work as a real estate broker must apply to RERA with the required documents to complete registration. Once the application is approved, a license granting legal permission to practise is issued.

Can rent be increased in Dubai?

Yes, but only within the rates and rules set by RERA. Dubai's tenancy law limits rent increases to protect both tenants and landlords.

What happens if a tenant breaches the tenancy contract?

In the event of a contract breach, RERA steps in to help resolve disputes between landlord and tenant, offering mediation and legal process support to reach a fair outcome for both parties.

What does World Company Setup do in the RERA process?
