Dubai tenants may soon have a new option to pay their annual rent through a 'Rent Now, Pay Later' service, which could allow them to spread their payments over 12 months without interest. The initiative, set to launch in September 2026, is being developed by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) in collaboration with a local bank. Under the proposed system, the bank would pay the landlord the full annual rent upfront, and the tenant would then repay the bank in monthly instalments.
This could provide tenants with smaller, more manageable monthly payments, better budgeting, and no interest on their rent. Landlords would receive their rent upfront, potentially making them more comfortable with the arrangement. The service is expected to launch in September 2026, offering tenants an alternative to traditional payment methods and Flexi Rent.
