What homes let for in Dubai South
Registered tenancy contracts from the Dubai Land Department (DLD), divided by what finished homes sold for: the gross rental yield, worked out rather than quoted.
Apartments
7.4% gross
A median rent of AED 81 per sqft a year on 1,931 new tenancy contracts, last 6 months, against AED 1,093 per sqft paid across 256 finished sales, last 6 months. Half of those contracts fell between AED 68 and AED 92 per sqft.
At today's off-plan prices (AED 1,399 per sqft, off-plan sales, last 6 months) the same rent would be 5.8%, before anything changes by handover.
Gross yield is a year's rent over the price, before service charges, fees and empty periods, for Dubai South as a whole; our arithmetic on the register's figures, as of 24 Sep 2026. Source: Dubai Land Department open data. Not investment advice.
