A Property Management Power of Attorney in Dubai authorizes a named agent to manage your property on your behalf — handling leasing, rent collection, maintenance, and representation before RERA, Dubai Courts, and the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre (RDC). Under UAE Federal Civil Transactions Law No. 5 of 1985 (Articles 924–959), this is classified as a Special POA: it covers property management tasks only. It does NOT authorize the agent to sell, mortgage, or gift the property unless these powers are explicitly added in a separate clause.
What Your Agent Is Authorized to Do Under a Property Management POA
- List the property for rent and negotiate lease terms with prospective tenants
- Sign lease agreements (Ejari-registered) and renew or terminate contracts
- Collect rent payments, issue receipts, and deposit funds to your account
- Manage maintenance, repairs, and utility connections (DEWA, Etisalat, du)
- Represent you before RERA, Ejari system, Dubai Courts, and the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre (RDC)
- Issue and serve eviction notices through a licensed notification service on your behalf
- Collect cheques, sign documents, and attend hearings related to the property
This POA Does NOT Authorize Sale, Mortgage, or Gifting
A Property Management POA is a Special POA — it is strictly limited to management tasks. Your agent CANNOT sell, mortgage, or gift the property based on a management POA alone. DLD will reject any sale or mortgage transaction where only a management POA is presented. If you need both management AND sale authority, we draft a combined POA or two separate documents. Always confirm the scope before notarization.
Documents Required for a Property Management POA
- Valid passport and Emirates ID of the property owner (principal)
- Valid passport and Emirates ID of the agent
- Original Title Deed of the property (updated ownership certificate)
- If principal is a company: valid trade licence + Articles of Association + Board Resolution
I, the undersigned, [Full Name], nationality: [Nationality], Emirates ID No.: [XXXXXXX], Passport No.: [XXXXXXX], hereby authorize [Agent Full Name], nationality: [Nationality], Emirates ID No.: [XXXXXXX], Passport No.: [XXXXXXX], to manage and oversee the property registered in my name: Title Deed No. [XXXXXXX], located at [Address], Dubai — including: signing and renewing lease agreements, rent collection and issuing receipts, managing tenant interactions, property maintenance and repairs, and terminating lease contracts. This authorization includes representing me before Dubai Land Department (DLD), RERA, DEWA, Dubai Courts, Rental Disputes Settlement Centre (RDC), Dubai Municipality, and all related governmental and private authorities. This POA does NOT authorize the agent to sell, mortgage, or gift the property. This POA is issued through Dubai Courts or the UAE Ministry of Justice via a video call and is valid for [duration] from the date of notarization unless revoked earlier.
A Property Management POA is governed by UAE Federal Law No. 5 of 1985 on Civil Transactions, Articles 924–959, which define the agency relationship, its scope, and limits. Key provisions: the agent must act within the scope of authority explicitly granted and cannot exceed it; the principal is bound by all acts performed within the POA scope; any act exceeding the POA scope is void against the principal unless subsequently ratified. The POA must be notarized — an unnotarized management agreement carries no legal weight before DLD, RERA, or Dubai Courts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, if explicitly included in the POA. We draft the authority to match your exact needs.
Absolutely. A well-drafted POA specifies both what the agent can and cannot do.
Yes — if the POA explicitly authorizes the agent to issue eviction notices and represent you before the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre (RDC). The agent can instruct a licensed notification service to serve the eviction notice, file a case at RDC on your behalf, and attend hearings. We include eviction authority as standard in all Property Management POAs we draft — confirm with us if you need this specific power included.
Yes. A Property Management POA can be tailored to include only specific tasks. For example: rent collection only, without authority to sign new leases or issue eviction notices. The POA document explicitly lists what the agent can and cannot do — any task not listed is automatically outside the agent's authority. Restricted management POAs are common for property owners who use a separate real estate agency for leasing but want a trusted individual to handle rent collection only.
A Dubai Courts format POA is primarily recognized within the Emirate of Dubai. For properties in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or other emirates, a Federal format POA issued through the UAE Ministry of Justice is required. Federal format POAs are accepted by all UAE authorities and across all emirates. We confirm which format you need based on the property location before drafting.
The validity period is specified in the POA document — typically 1 or 2 years. If no period is stated, UAE law generally treats the POA as valid until revoked. Best practice: specify a defined period (1–2 years) and renew when needed — this gives you regular checkpoints to reassess the agent relationship. For foreign-issued management POAs used at DLD-related matters: Circular No. 29/R/2025 applies — the POA must not be older than 2 years from notarization. You can revoke the POA at any time by notarizing a Revocation Deed.
