✍️ Sample RERA Questions & Answers
1. What is RERA and under which authority does it operate?
RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) was established in 2007 as a regulatory arm of the Dubai Land Department. It is responsible for regulating the real estate sector including brokers, developers, owners associations, and off-plan projects in Dubai.
2. What is the role of the Rental Dispute Center (RDC) in Dubai?
The Rental Dispute Center (RDC), part of the Dubai Courts system and supervised by RERA, is the exclusive tribunal for resolving landlord-tenant disputes in Dubai. This includes eviction cases, unlawful rent increases, maintenance disputes, and deposit refund claims. RDC decisions are judicially binding.
3. What are the main challenges facing the Dubai property market?
Dubai's property market faces challenges including periodic oversupply in specific segments, sensitivity to global economic conditions, evolving regulations, competition from other international markets, and cyclical price volatility.
4. What dispute resolution options are available for real estate transaction disputes in Dubai?
Multiple dispute resolution options exist: RERA mediation for broker-related issues, RDSC for rental disputes, Dubai Courts for property ownership disputes, DIFC Courts for DIFC properties, and DIAC arbitration by agreement.
5. A broker discovers their client intends to use a property purchase to launder money. What must the broker do?
UAE AML Law and Cabinet Decision 10/2019 require designated non-financial businesses (DNFBPs) including real estate brokers to file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) via the goAML platform. 'Tipping off' the client that a SAR has been filed is itself a criminal offense. The transaction must not proceed.
6. What is the DLD transfer fee for property transactions in Dubai?
The Dubai Land Department charges a 4% property transfer fee calculated on the property transaction value or DLD valuation (whichever is higher), typically shared 2% each between buyer and seller, though this is negotiable.
