When renting out your property in Jumeirah Golf Estates, it’s important to know your key obligations. Fairway Homes is here to guide and support you throughout.
- Ensure the property is safe, clean, and ready for tenants: The home should have a full deep clean, fresh paint, and working utilities prior to move-in.

- Provide documents for Ejari and NOC (if required): You’ll need to supply documents like your title deed and ID for registration and approvals.
