When it comes to renting a property in Dubai, one of the most critical yet often overlooked phases is the property handover process between tenant and landlord. Whether you’re moving in or moving out, understanding the proper handover procedures can save you from unnecessary disputes, unexpected charges, and legal issues.

At Dubai Property Snagging, we’ve helped hundreds of tenants and landlords streamline this process with professional inspection services that ensure a smooth, fair, and transparent transition.


Why Is the Handover Process So Important?

In Dubai, the handover process isn’t just about giving or receiving the keys. It involves a full inspection of the property’s condition to make sure everything is as agreed upon in the tenancy contract. When tenants move in or vacate, both parties must document and agree on:

  • The state of appliances and fixtures
  • The condition of walls, ceilings, and floors
  • Any existing damages or wear and tear
  • Functionality of electrical and plumbing systems

Failing to do this can lead to disputes over deposit returns, repair costs, and even legal complaints.


Common Challenges During Property Handover in Dubai

Many tenants and landlords face these issues during handover:

  • Unrecorded Damages: Tenants are sometimes blamed for damages that existed before move-in.
  • Lack of Documentation: Without a proper inspection report, it becomes a “he said, she said” situation.
  • Disagreements on Maintenance: Landlords may expect tenants to cover repairs that fall under the landlord’s responsibility by law.
  • Deposit Deductions: Unfair or vague deductions from the security deposit are a common source of conflict.
