Moving out of a rental property in Dubai can be stressful, especially when it comes to the final inspection. Whether you’re a tenant looking to secure your full deposit, or a landlord aiming to re-rent the property quickly, a comprehensive end-of-tenancy inspection is essential. At Property Inspection Dubai, we provide professional inspection services that streamline this process for all property types, including villas, apartments, studios, shops, and full buildings.

Why End-of-Tenancy Inspections Matter

Dubai’s rental laws are designed to protect both tenants and landlords. However, disputes at the end of a lease are common — often due to unclear expectations about property condition. A detailed inspection ensures both parties are aware of any damage, wear and tear, or cleaning requirements before handing over the keys.

Who Needs This Checklist?

• Tenants: To avoid deposit deductions and ensure a smooth handover.

• Landlords: To identify maintenance issues and prepare the property for new tenants.

• Property Managers: To document conditions for legal and operational purposes.

• Real Estate Agents: To support both tenants and landlords in the final stages of tenancy.
