Renting in Downtown Dubai: what to know

Downtown Dubai is Emaar's master community around Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall, mostly high-rise apartments plus the low-rise Old Town. Its district cooling network has been majority-owned by Tabreed since 2020, so in most towers cooling is billed separately from rent unless the unit is advertised as chiller-free.

Moving in

Emaar requires a move-in permit, requested online through Sakani or the Emaar One app with your Ejari, Emirates ID and passport.
Check in your contract whether cooling is chiller-free or billed to you, and read the cooling meter at check-in.

What to document at check-in

Full-height glazing, window seals and balcony doors: stains and failed sealant are common and easy to dispute later.
AC grilles and ceilings around the fan coil units for past condensation marks.
Premium finishes such as stone and timber: photograph chips and scratches close up with a wide shot for context.
