That is strange. We deal with an agent too for our renewals for the last 4 years, as my landlord lives abroad. We only paid agency commision / broker fees the first time we rented the apartment. For the Renewals it's been just AED 200 for Ejari, but they take +50 AED for their paper work / admin charges. And I also know that my landlord pays my real estate agent "management fees" for looking after his property / tenant. As far as I know that is the norm in Dubai. So, I suggest you speak to your landlord accordingly. It is a tenants market these days.
I am looking for guidance regarding agency fees for renewing my tenancy contract. The landlord has requested that we use the agent for which there is a charge of 1500dhs. I just wondered what is reasonable a there are mixed reviews.
1500 is way over the amount allowed
The lady who answers legal questions in the National newspaper has covered this many times and I believe the correct amount is AED200
It takes 2 minutes to fill the form in and the only thing that changes at renewal is the dates!
