In Dubai, the minimum rental period for short-term rentals is one day. This means you can legally rent out your property for as short as a single day, giving you flexibility to attract both short-stay tourists and business travelers. The maximum rental period for short-term leases is typically up to six months, depending on the terms negotiated between you and the guest​.

Before you start renting out your property, you must register with the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and obtain a holiday home permit. Once registered, you can list your property on platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, or other rental sites​.

This flexibility in rental periods allows property owners to capitalize on Dubai's year-round tourism, offering short stays during peak seasons while having the option for longer rentals if desired.

Make sure to follow all necessary regulations, including guest registration and compliance with DTCM standards, to avoid any penalties.
