Why short-term
Why owners choose a holiday home over a long-term let
Short-term rental in Dubai gives you something a tenant never will: control. Here is what changes the day your property becomes a holiday home.
No Ejari, no tenancy contract
Holiday home guests are not tenants. Your home is registered with DET as a holiday home instead, and Monty handles that for you.
Rates that follow demand
A long-term rent can only rise within the RERA rental index at renewal. Nightly rates move with the season, events and New Year's Eve.
Use it yourself
Block dates for your own visits, or for family and friends. There is no tenant to ask.
Sell or move in when you like
No sitting tenant, and no 12-month notarised eviction notice standing between you and your plans.
No rental disputes
Guests pay upfront through the booking platforms. No bounced cheques, no Rental Dispute Centre cases.
Kept like a hotel
Cleaned and inspected after every stay, not once a year when a tenant moves out.
Free to leave Monty too
No long-term contract with us either. We earn your business every month.

Every holiday home needs a permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism, formerly DTCM. We apply and keep it current.
No Ejari
Holiday home guests are not tenants, so there is no Ejari tenancy to register, renew or cancel.

Owners and guests, in their words
“They have made the entire short term rental process completely hassle free.”
Excellent service from start to finish. The Monty holiday Home team is professional, responsive, and takes great care of my property. They have made the entire short term rental process completely hassle free, and I highly recommend them to any property owner looking for reliable property management.
“Great host, and great apartment.”
Their team was a pleasure to work with, and extremely responsive. Nouman was the lead, and he was always helpful and responsive during several extensions, and whenever there were any issues. Great host, and great apartment. Will certainly use them in the future.

Questions owners ask
Dubai holiday home management: FAQ
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call our homeowner line on +971 52 202 1599.
Do I need Ejari for a holiday home? +
No. Ejari registers tenancy contracts, and holiday home guests are not tenants. Your property is registered with DET as a holiday home and each stay is recorded through the DET system, which Monty handles.
What does a holiday home management company do? +
We run your property as a holiday home end to end: the DET permit, set-up and styling, listings on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia, daily pricing, guest communication and check-in, housekeeping after every stay, maintenance and monthly reporting. You receive the income; we do the work.
Do I need a permit to rent my property short term in Dubai? +
Yes. Holiday homes in Dubai must be registered with the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET, formerly DTCM). We handle the application for you. As we explain in The DTCM permit is the easy part, the permit is only the start: building rules, guest registration and Tourism Dirham follow.
How much can my property earn? +
It depends on the area, size, finish and season. Start with our free income estimate; before we begin we give you a realistic forecast for your unit. Our guide How much can you really earn from a holiday home in Dubai? explains what drives the numbers.
How are your fees charged? +
As a share of booking revenue, so we only earn when your property earns. See Airbnb management fees in Dubai for why the same percentage can deliver very different results.
Is there a long-term contract? +
No. There is no long-term lock-in, and if short-term rental is not right for your unit, we will say so before you commit.
Which areas of Dubai do you cover? +
Properties across Dubai, from waterfront apartments to golf villas. Start with our Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Golf Estates pages, or see all areas.
