For owners
Apartment management in Dubai while you are in another country
The full operating cycle under one accountable operator: preparation, permits, guests, contractors, money and reporting. You keep ownership and control.
Who it suits
- You live outside the UAE and do not want to manage the apartment over chat
- You have received the apartment from the developer and want to launch it without mistakes
- You self-manage, but the result does not justify the time spent
- You are not sure which rental format suits your building
What AV does
- Audit of the apartment and the building, community rules check
- Launch plan: works, budget, rental format, management terms
- Permit support and unit registration
- Preparation, stocking and professional photography
- Listings, pricing, guest communication 7 days a week
- Check-in, cleaning, laundry, condition checks after every stay
- Maintenance, small repairs, contractor coordination
- Monthly report, payout and recommendations for the next period
What stays with the owner
- Ownership and all decisions about the apartment
- Owner-side expenses: utilities, building service charges, insurance, government fees
- Approval of the preparation budget and major repairs
- Providing documents required for permits
- Timely answers on matters that require the owner's consent
Principles
Six terms we agree on from the start
The apartment stays yours
We manage the unit under an agreement. Ownership, key decisions and the right to terminate remain with you.
No fixed-rent lease
We do not lease the unit at a fixed rate and we do not sublet it. You receive the actual result.
Management fee by agreement
The fee is a percentage of revenue and is fixed in the management agreement together with the scope of services.
Owner money and AV money are separated
Apartment expenses, platform commissions, our fee and your payout appear as separate lines in the report.
Results depend on the property
Actual performance is defined by the district, apartment type, condition, season and demand. No two apartments are alike.
An estimate is not a promise of income
The preliminary estimate shows the logic and structure, not a guarantee. Final terms follow the audit and are set in the agreement.
How it works
How the launch unfolds
Every stage ends with a clear deliverable that you see and approve.
Enquiry
You share the apartment details. We get back during working hours to clarify goals and constraints.
Property audit
We inspect the apartment and the building, check community rules, condition, furnishing and the feasibility of permits.
Launch plan
We propose the rental format, a scope of works, a preparation budget and management terms. All figures stay preliminary until the agreement is signed.
Preparation and permits
Snagging, furnishing, stocking, photography, permit applications and registration of the unit in the required systems.
Go-live
We create and configure listings, pricing and house rules, and connect the sales channels.
Management and reporting
Guests, cleaning, maintenance, communication — and a monthly report with a payout on the agreed date.
Formats
Types of management
Full holiday home management
Nightly and short-term rentals through platforms and direct bookings. The full cycle from permits to reporting.
Who it is for: Apartments in buildings that allow short-term rentals, in districts with tourist demand.
Mid-term and corporate stays
Stays from a few weeks to several months for relocating professionals, business travellers and families in transition.
Who it is for: Apartments with restrictions on nightly rentals, or owners who prefer lower guest turnover.
Long-term leasing via a partner
Annual tenancy through a licensed partner broker. AV handles preparation and handover.
Who it is for: Owners who value predictability and minimal involvement most.
Co-hosting light
You run the listing, we cover on-the-ground operations: check-ins, cleaning, emergencies.
Who it is for: Experienced owners who need hands in Dubai rather than full management.
Reporting
What the owner receives every month
- Booking summary: dates, channels, length of stay
- Revenue and platform commissions as separate lines
- Apartment expenses with supporting documents
- AV fee calculated under the agreement
- Payout amount and transfer date
- Apartment status: condition, completed and planned works
- Recommendations for the next period
Documents
What you will need for the launch
- Title Deed, or the developer agreement together with the handover certificate
- Owner's passport (and Emirates ID if available)
- Permission / no-objection letter from the building management, where community rules require it
- Recent utility bills (DEWA, cooling) to verify the status of connections
- Power of attorney, if a representative acts on the owner's behalf
The exact list depends on the building and the chosen rental format. We confirm it during the audit.
Preliminary estimate
See the structure of the calculation before talking to us
The calculator shows the fee logic and cost categories. It does not forecast income and does not replace a property audit.

This is a preliminary estimate, not a guarantee of income. Final terms are determined after checking the property, the building, permits, the apartment's condition and current demand.
Owner questions
Frequent questions before signing
What is the term of the management agreement?
The term and termination conditions are set in the agreement. We aim for long-term cooperation, but we do not hold owners hostage with penalties for exiting with the agreed notice.
Who pays for furnishing and preparation?
The owner, according to an approved budget. Furnishing and preparation are quoted separately from the management fee; permits and government fees appear as separate lines.
How is the payout made?
After the reporting month closes, we send the report and transfer the payout to the owner's account within the period set in the agreement.
Can I use the apartment myself?
Yes. Owner stays are blocked in the calendar in advance, following the procedure described in the agreement.
What happens if a guest damages the property?
We document the damage at check-out, initiate compensation through the platform or the guest's deposit and, if needed, arrange repairs in agreement with you.
