First of all you have to meet the admission requirements of the University you want to study.
After that you have to apply for a residence visa coz without that you won't be able to rent any accomodation.

If you then arrive in the UAE you will be looking for a place to live, and will no doubt have heard nightmare stories about skyrocketing rents and property inflation in many areas. And that's not a rumor, that's a fact.

The first thing to know is that rent is paid on an annual or biannual basis with post-dated cheques.

An advance payment is required which can put new tenants out of pocket.

International cheques are not accepted and so opening a local bank account and getting a cheque book are prerequisites.

If a cheque bounces, due to minimal funds in an account or a month of particular heavy duty spending, you will be seriously penalised and can result in a jail term.

There are additional costs to be considered such as the real estate commission which is five per cent of the annual rent in a one off payment. There is also a maintenance charge and the municipality tax which are both an additional five per cent each of the annual rent. Add to this the refundable rental security deposit.

Once you have found a house or apartment that you like you can try and negotiate the rent and terms.

Paying the lease in one cheque or signing for a long term lease could bring down the rent. If you are happy with the price, sign the lease and read the contract thoroughly, especially the small print so you are aware of lease termination, subletting, or damage to the property. Only once you are happy with all the clauses should you hand over the cheques.

In Abu Dhabi complaints have been made about real estate agencies that charge non-refundable fees, normally Dh100, just for showing properties to their clients. Some agencies charge Dh200 for showing properties. If the apartment hunter is happy with the property and concludes an agreement, he or she has to pay a month rent as a commission to the real estate agency.

In Abu Dhabi, another problem is unchecked hike in rents. Tenants should also be aware of demands for huge one-off fees known as “key money” which often involves the purchase of poor quality old furniture before tenants can move into properties.

What to bring when leasing a house:

- Residence permit (copy)
- No objection letter from Sponsor
- Salary certificate
- Rent cheque or cheques for the leasing period
- Deposit
- Real estate commission
- Termination and demolition
- When moving out you may be asked to return the property
in its original state, despite having made improvements or changes, which you also may not be compensated for.
- Before signing your contract for an older property be sure to check that there are no plans for demolition.

To find affordable accomodtion in Abu Dhabi these days ain't easy at all. Is there no way you live on Campus or any housing provided by the University? If you are interested in sharing an apartment, check out the daily paper:

Take care and good luck!

If it became into stolen, that they had the time to attempt to take criminal action already. however the reality that they waited for see you later is evidence that there became into an contract. Civil wholesome? tell them to hold it on. you acquire caught with costs in this. and you have the skill to coach it. haul, storage, cleansing bill, and whatnot. The may be dumb to take you to civil court docket. they might lose. then you definately can take domicile what you lost, after which some. So, perhaps you will desire to call up your pal. enable him understand he can try this the easy way, via paying you the one hundred dollars you're out for taking good care of his issues, OR... he can document a pretend police document and face that concern, then take you to court docket and lose his television, and his money on your losses. If he's dumb sufficient to go forward with it: he deserved his arise pin's. however the reality is: he's bluffing. because of the fact if he can no longer pay you on your cost in taking good care of the products, then he genuinely won't have the skill to pay to take you to court docket. he's blowing smoke, no longer fireplace. do no longer sell their stuff. undesirable concept. incredibly undesirable concept. goos success jamie
