Guaranteed Income from your apartment in Dubai

Your apartment generates a guaranteed monthly income — whether occupied or vacant. All earnings above the guaranteed amount are yours too. Both clauses are in the contract, in English and Russian.

Calculate Guaranteed Income How It Works

Three stories, after which owners stop believing in short-term

  1. 01

    'Spent half a year with the previous management. Almost no bookings, but we paid DEWA and service charges. We just waited.'

  2. 02

    'We bought it on installment, with the final payment being a quarter of the cost. Now, another 35,000 AED for furniture?'

  3. 03

    'Reports are sent quarterly. It's impossible to understand how much actual income the apartment generated and who lived in it.'

We've structured the terms so none of these stories repeat with you. Below, item by item.

02How the guarantee works

Steps 01 — 04

Guaranteed income is a floor, not a ceiling

Standard 'income guarantee' in Dubai is master lease: the operator sets a figure 15–20% below real potential, takes all surplus, and locks you in for 12–24 months. Our guarantee is tied to an external benchmark, your upside remains yours, and the exit is within one month.

Calculate Guaranteed Income
  1. Step 01

    Calculate your apartment's guaranteed income

    Guaranteed income equals the long-term rental rate for your specific apartment — based on building, floor, view, and condition. The calculation method is shown before signing and the figure is written into the contract.

    Figure — in the contract

  2. Step 02

    Paid monthly based on actual performance

    Payment due by the 10th of the next month, in your preferred currency. All bookings and income from platforms are visible in your dashboard before official reports arrive.

    By the 10th

  3. Step 03

    We cover the difference from our own funds

    If, over 12 months, total payments fall below the guaranteed amount, we cover the difference. Not from future income, but from our own funds. That is what the guarantee means.

    From our own funds

  4. Step 04

    Upside — yours; Exit — 30 days' notice

    Everything your apartment earns above the guaranteed amount is yours — minus commission. 12-month agreement with auto-renewal; exit at any time with 30 days’ notice, no compensation.

03Why we can make this promise

One product · one target audience

We don’t ‘rent apartments.' We offer one product for one audience

Our guests are remote professionals and digital nomads who live in Dubai for two weeks to three months. They need not just a 'view apartment', but a workspace: a window desk, a 32" 4K monitor, an ergonomic chair, fiber optic connection — and a PS5 after work. Such listings on Airbnb in Dubai are rare, so they command higher prices and longer bookings.

18,900 listings in Dubai

Sofa, TV, 'workplace' — kitchen table. One of thousands of identical units.

Desk — if lucky, a side table

Long-term also doesn't guarantee 100%: on average, apartments are vacant for 1.5 months per year between tenants, plus agent commission and non-payment risk. Therefore, we compare against actual long-term occupancy, not the listed nominal rate.

05Property security

6 layers of protection

'Short-term rentals ruin an apartment within a year.' Not under such a system

Platform insurance

Up to $3 million in property damage coverage

Airbnb AirCover for hosts covers up to $3 million in damage and $1 million in liability. Booking.com and Vrbo offer their own damage and liability insurance up to $1 million. Plus, we hold a deposit from the guest.

Exit inspection protocol

Post-guest inspection

After every exit, the property is inspected using a checklist with photo documentation. Any damage is recorded on the day of departure and a claim is submitted to the platform — while the deposit is still held.

Who pays

Damage: platform and deposit, not the host

Natural wear and tear remains your responsibility. Minor repairs under 200 AED are handled at our expense, without waiting for approvals.

Wear and tear

Full cleaning after every stay

This is no exaggeration: every exit includes full cleaning, linen change, and equipment checks. With a long-term tenant nobody looks inside for years; with us the apartment is checked every week.

Who lives here

Not economy-tier stays or parties

Maximum two guests — this is standard across all our listings. Guests are remote professionals, with an average stay of 18 nights. They come to work, not to celebrate.

Selection process

Guest screening prior to booking confirmation

Profile, past host reviews, travel purpose, registration documents for DET and the building. Guests without documents are not admitted — this is a legal requirement, not our preference.

  • Profile
  • Reviews from previous hosts
  • Travel Purpose
  • DET and Building Documents

06Transparency

Management will check guests in off the books and hide the income. Not possible — and here's why

Each guest goes through three independent registries, which we do not control, plus your personal dashboard. Checking someone in off the books is physically impossible.

  1. 01

    Your Owner Dashboard

    All bookings and income in real time

    Owner's Personal Dashboard: who arrived, for how long, and how much paid. Visible before we can write a report.

  2. 02

    DET

    Guest registration with Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism

    Mandatory requirement for licensed operators: guest passport, dates, tourism fee. Operators face serious fines and license revocation for unregistered guests.

  3. 03

    Building

    Guest registration with Building Management

    Security will not grant access without the registration form. At any time, you can call or message Building Management to verify who and when stayed in your apartment.

  4. 04

    Report

    Detailed monthly report

    Revenue per booking, platform fees, expenses, our commission, total payable. Matches both the owner dashboard and the platform statement.

10Questions

What is typically asked before requesting a quote

Can't find your question?Ask via WhatsApp — we reply the same day, in English or Russian.
What guaranteed income will I receive specifically?

Your guaranteed income equals the long-term rental rate for your specific apartment — factoring in building, floor, view, and condition. The calculation method is shown before signing, and the figure is written into the contract. We'll provide both calculation formats within one business day.

My apartment is on a developer payment plan. Is that a problem?

We've been through developer payment plans ourselves. If the final payment is still pending and the apartment has already been vacant, consider the 'Zero Investment' format: furniture, appliances, and launch — all at our cost. We'll go over your specific case during the calculation.

Who pays utilities?

DEWA, chiller, internet, and building service charges — owner's responsibility. Cleaning, laundry, consumables, the DET tourism fee for guests, minor repairs up to 200 AED, photos, listings, and guest support — our responsibility.

When do I receive payments?

By the 10th of the following month — in AED, USD, EUR, rubles, or USDT. Currency and method are selected at signing, and can be changed upon request. Bookings and income are visible in your personal dashboard before the report is issued.

What if I want to exit?

The contract runs for 12 months with automatic renewal. You may exit at any time: one month's notice, no penalties or compensation.

Do I need to get the DET holiday home permit myself?

No. We register the apartment with DET, obtain short-term rental approval, secure a NOC and building access, then extend the permit and monitor compliance.

What happens to the 'zero investment' furniture if we part ways?

The contract sets out in advance what happens to the furniture when we part ways; we show you these terms before signing, together with the guaranteed income estimate.

Can I view your apartments in person?

Start with live Airbnb calendars — we’ll send links along with the calculation. We’ll coordinate a viewing of one of the Creek Harbour units via WhatsApp between stays.
