Expenses UAE landlords should track

UAE landlords should track maintenance and repairs, service/community charges, insurance, agency and government fees, and any utilities they cover. Logging each expense with a receipt as it happens — tagged to the property — means your year-end owner statement is complete and your net rental position is always clear.

Common categories

Maintenance and repairs, service charges, insurance, agency/renewal fees, and government or DEWA charges you pay are the usual ones. Capture the vendor and a receipt photo for each.

Log as you go

Recording expenses when they happen — rather than reconstructing them at year end — keeps totals accurate and your owner statement ready in one click.
