Maximise Comfort: Personalise Your Dubai Rental

Moving into a new rental property is an exciting chapter, but it often comes with the challenge of making the space feel like home without making permanent changes. For tenants in Dubai, navigating the balance between personalisation and respecting tenancy agreements is crucial to avoid costly deductions when moving out. Remember, before making any changes, review your tenancy agreement thoroughly.

Fortunately, Seddiqi Properties offer renter-friendly solutions that let you customise your space effortlessly.

1. Embrace Temporary Décor Solutions

When it comes to personalisation, temporary décor is your best friend. For example, covering the floor with rugs or mats adds personality and warmth. Choose pieces that align with your style while protecting the flooring from wear and tear.

 

2. Personalise with Furniture and Accessories

Seddiqi Properties all come unfurnished, leaving plenty of room for creativity. Opt for furniture and accessories that reflect your taste.

Multi-functional Furniture: Invest in versatile pieces like sofa beds or storage ottomans to maximise space while keeping the property clutter-free.

Soft Furnishings: Throw pillows and blankets are simple yet effective ways to inject colour and texture into your home. These items are easily replaceable, allowing you to experiment with different themes over time.

Lighting Fixtures: A lovely alternative to harsh overhead lighting with floor or table lamps to create a cosy ambience. Just ensure the original fixtures are intact when you leave.

3. Add Greenery

Indoor plants are an excellent way to breathe life into your rental property. They not only enhance aesthetics but also improve air quality and create a calming environment. Consider low-maintenance plants like succulents which thrive in Dubai’s climate. Use stylish pots that complement your interior design for added flair.

 

4. Use Free-Standing Storage Solutions

Built-in storage can often feel limiting, but free-standing units like bookshelves, storage racks, or cabinets can add functionality and charm. Choose designs that align with your aesthetic and provide ample space for organising your belongings. Additionally, vertical storage solutions can help maximise space in smaller rental units.

 

5. Pay Attention to Bathrooms and Kitchens

These functional spaces can often feel cold or impersonal in rentals, but small changes can make a big impact.

For example, think about your shower curtains and bathmats. Choose colours or patterns that complement your overall décor.

6. Prioritise Lease-Friendly Adjustments

Here are a few tips to stay in compliance.

Obtain a copy of the move in condition signed by both tenant and landlord representative.

Seek Approval: If you’re planning any changes, get written consent. This protects you from disputes during your move-out inspection.

 

7. How to Prepare for Moving Out

Preparing for move-out starts the day you move in. Here are steps to ensure a smooth transition.

Maintain Regular Cleaning: Keeping the property clean prevents wear and tear, making move-out preparations less stressful.

Keep a record of the approval received of any modification (however big or small) carried out. Save documentation for any replacements or upgrades you’ve made. This demonstrates your effort to maintain the property in good condition.

Ensure the unit is in the original condition when handed back, and carry out the move out inspection only once the unit is vacant, cleaned and ready for the hand over.
