Security deposit recovery in the UAE

How we help with security deposit recovery

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers the lease and deposit receipt, entry and exit inventories, dated condition photographs, key-handover acknowledgement and itemised deductions with supporting invoices. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• Must the landlord return the entire Dubai rental deposit regardless of property condition?

  The landlord must return the deposit or remaining balance at the end of the lease; justified maintenance deductions may be disputed before the competent rental body. Compare move-in and handover condition, ordinary wear and the itemised costs claimed. Neither an unexplained deduction nor a promise of an automatic full refund resolves the evidence. Request a breakdown identifying each item, its condition at handover and the supporting cost record. Compare it with the move-in inventory, photographs and lease. The assessment must distinguish a documented item from an unexplained lump sum.
