INVEST · SHORT-TERM vs LONG-TERM

Holiday home or annual lease?

Run your property as a DTCM holiday home, or lease it annually on Ejari — which actually nets more? Compare net yield after real costs, side by side.

Your property
Long-term · annual Ejari lease
Gross rentAED 120,000/yr
Net incomeAED 92,400/yr
Net yield4.6%
Short-term · DTCM holiday home
Gross revenueAED 154,213/yr
Net incomeAED 86,865/yr
Net yield4.3%
Long-term nets more — by about AED 5,536 / year
The annual lease wins here — simpler and steadier. Raise occupancy or the nightly rate to see when short-term overtakes.

An estimate, not advice. Tourism Dirham (AED 7–20/night) is collected from the guest and remitted to DET, so it isn't deducted here. Short-term also carries a DTCM holiday-home permit, furnishing and higher wear — model your own figures above. Occupancy and nightly rates vary by area and season.
