Dubai Properties (DP) is one of the well-known master developers in the Emirate. DP has contributed to the real estate industry of Dubai through its high-end residential and mixed-use developments. There are a few things that tenants and property owners need to consider, specifically when they have to move in or out of the residential developments of Dubai Properties. One of such is obtaining Dubai Properties’ move-in permit before moving into the property and a move-out permit before leaving.
Since 2013, many master developers in the Emirate have made obtaining a move permit in Dubai mandatory in either case, and DP is one of them. These permits are for the convenience of all the stakeholders and to ensure there is no dispute in the future among tenants and landlords.
The process to obtain a Dubai Properties move-out permit and a move-in permit is seamless. Let’s find out how you can apply for the two permits.
