The Rental Disputes Center settled AED 190.7 million in deposit cases in Q2 2025 alone.

Deposit disputes are one of the most common legal issues in Dubai's rental market. The tenants who win have documentation. The tenants who lose do not. This guide explains how to build a clear, verifiable record.

1

Start with the baseline

The move-in report shows what was already present before the tenant became responsible.

2

Add the move-out record

The move-out report gives the landlord, tenant, or RDC a clean comparison point.

3

Keep it structured

A record is easier to review when each photo belongs to a room, timestamp, and note.

From record to formal notice.

Once you have a verified handover record, MyKeyz can generate a formal dispute letter directly from the report. The letter cites the specific RERA articles that apply to each contested deduction, includes the report's verification hash, and is formatted for submission to the Rental Disputes Center.

If the landlord does not respond within the notice period, MyKeyz Recover prepares the complete RDC filing package.

Ready?

Bring clarity to the handover before the keys change hands.

Download MyKeyz before move-in, move-out, or inspection day. Walk through the property once and leave with a verified handover record both sides can rely on later.
