Document background
The Vacation Rental Agreement serves as a legally binding document under UAE law, essential for property owners and managers offering short-term holiday accommodations. It is designed to comply with Federal Decree-Law No. 3 of 2022 regarding tourism, local emirate-specific holiday home regulations, and the UAE Civil Code. This agreement becomes necessary when offering properties for short-term vacation stays, typically ranging from a few days to several weeks. It includes critical provisions for property use, guest obligations, payment terms, and liability allocation, while incorporating specific UAE requirements such as tourist registration, permitted usage, and cultural considerations. The document is particularly relevant in major tourist destinations like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where holiday home rentals are strictly regulated.
