Long-Term Property Management
We handle everything — finding the tenant, drafting the agreement, Ejari registration, move-in inspection and inventory, cheque administration, maintenance, renewal notices, and a monthly owner statement.
Tenant Sourcing & Screening
We advertise across the major portals, conduct viewings, carry out full KYC and reference checks, and present you with a shortlist. You make the final call.
Ejari & Tenancy Contracts
Tenancy agreement drafted and Ejari registered — or Tawtheeq in Abu Dhabi, Tasdeeq in Sharjah, Municipality registration in the Northern Emirates. The official tenancy record that makes everything else possible.

In-House Maintenance
AC, plumbing, electrical, handyman, painting — done by our Prokeep in-house team. No third-party referrals, no markups. You approve any meaningful spend before we go ahead.

Why owners in Abu Dhabi choose us
Vacant property or upcoming changeover? We find you the right tenant
Whether your Abu Dhabi property is empty now or a tenancy is ending, we move on it — advertising across Bayut, PropertyFinder and Dubizzle, running viewings, full KYC on every applicant, and presenting a vetted shortlist before you decide. The right tenant at the start avoids most of the problems later.
Tenancy agreement and Tawtheeq filed — not Ejari
Abu Dhabi uses Tawtheeq, filed via the TAMM portal operated by the Department of Municipalities and Transport. It's a different system to Dubai's Ejari, and ADDC won't activate electricity or water without it. We draft the contract and handle the filing in-house.
Move-in inspection with a signed inventory
Before the tenant takes the keys, we walk the property room by room, photograph every surface and appliance, and produce an inventory both parties sign. At move-out we compare against that record — this is the document that determines what comes out of the deposit.
ADDC utility coordination — not DEWA
Abu Dhabi utilities connect through ADDC (Abu Dhabi Distribution Company), not DEWA. We coordinate the incoming tenant's ADDC connection and confirm the outgoing tenant's account is closed before handover. No inherited utility debt.
Rent cheques collected and administered in your name
The tenant issues post-dated cheques in the landlord's name — not ours. We receive, bank, and deposit each to your account on the due date. If a cheque bounces, we notify you and follow up under UAE tenancy law.
Property visits and condition monitoring
We visit the property periodically throughout the tenancy — not just at move-in and move-out. Small maintenance issues caught early cost a fraction of the same problem left unchecked. You get a condition note and photos each time.
Renewals and Abu Dhabi's 5% rent-cap handled
Abu Dhabi reinstated a 5% annual cap on renewal increases for most residential tenancies. We calculate the permissible increase for your contract, prepare the renewal notice in the correct format, and handle the negotiation. Disputes that can't be resolved route to the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department — we file directly.
In-house maintenance via Prokeep
AC servicing, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, pest control — handled by our in-house Prokeep crew rather than referred to third parties. You approve anything above a minor spend before we proceed. No referral markups.

The Abu Dhabi rental market — what landlords need to know
Abu Dhabi runs on Tawtheeq — not Ejari. Tawtheeq is filed via the TAMM portal, operated by the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT). ADDC won't connect electricity or water without a Tawtheeq number, and the renewal rent-cap formula — 5% on most existing residential tenancies, reinstated in 2024 — uses the Tawtheeq registration as the rent-of-record.
We file Tawtheeq in-house after contract signing and register the tenant with ADDC for utility connection. Rent-cap calculations are done per contract before the renewal notice goes out. Disputes that escalate route through the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) rental committee — we file directly, no third-party paralegal markup.
Brokerage activity in Abu Dhabi requires ADREC registration (Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre, the emirate's equivalent of Dubai's DLD broker register). Our brokerage is ADREC-registered. Short-term and holiday-home management in Abu Dhabi requires a DCT Abu Dhabi (Department of Culture and Tourism) permit — we handle the licensing as part of the 20% + VAT management scope.

Everything you'd want to ask
No — they're two different systems run by two different regulators. Ejari is a Dubai Land Department system; Tawtheeq is operated by Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), filed via the TAMM portal. Function is similar — both legally register the tenancy — but the filing process, fee, and dispute-resolution route are different. We handle whichever applies to your emirate.
As of 2024, Abu Dhabi reinstated a 5% annual cap on renewal increases for most residential tenancies. We calculate the permissible increase for your contract, factor in the below-market starting position if relevant, and send the renewal notice in the required format. ADJD rental committee filings handled if the tenant disputes.
ADDC (Abu Dhabi Distribution Company) is the utility provider for most of Abu Dhabi's residential stock — electricity and water, the equivalent of Dubai's DEWA. The incoming tenant connects ADDC once Tawtheeq is filed. We coordinate both at the same time, so the tenant doesn't move in without utilities and you don't have an account in your name after handover.
5–8% of annual rent on the percentage model, or from AED 3,799/year flat for an apartment. No setup fee. Tenant-sourcing commission is one month's rent paid by the tenant.
Yes — Reem Island, Saadiyat, Yas, Khalifa City, Al Reef, Mohammed Bin Zayed City, Al Raha Beach, downtown Abu Dhabi, and the island portfolios. One Abu Dhabi account manager covers all communities.
No — we accept a Power of Attorney notarised at any UAE embassy or legalised from your home country. Once on file, we sign tenancy contracts, file Tawtheeq via TAMM, coordinate ADDC, and remit rent to your nominated account.
Yes — we absorb the existing contract, re-issue cheques to our bank-of-record, take over Tawtheeq renewals at the next anniversary, and start the monthly statement from day one. No tenant disturbance mid-tenancy.
We notify you as soon as a cheque is returned and follow up with the tenant under UAE tenancy law — formal demand letter, 7-day cure period (the legal minimum), and ADJD rental committee filing if it doesn't resolve. Included in your management contract at no extra charge.
