Hi there, i am looking to migrate over to Dubai later this year but am concerned about the rental procedures there. As i understand you pay a year in advance and for a 3 bed villa ( to suit a family of 4 ) i could be looking at £30-40k plus up front. I clearly don't have that sort of money. Is there any other way around this or loophole i can get through to avoid this and say pay monthly like everywhere else in the world?
Or am i wasting my time even thinking about accepting a position in Dubai?
Any advice would be greatly accepted.Thank you.

Tobyb,

Some but not all employers would give you an allowance toward the cost of housing- if you dont fall into that category then landlords could give you the option of 2 cheques a year but they usually bump up the yearly rent for the privilege.

I have only seen 1 and 2 bed apartments go on a monthly basis.

Hello tobyb,

Many Landlords will accept your rent to be paid in three or four equal installments over the year.

Check out this website to give you an idea of price:
