Questions

Renting in Sharjah

How much does it cost to rent a property in Sharjah?

Can a property in Sharjah be used for any activity?

It depends on the unit’s approved activity and on the landlord. Every listing states its approved use — tell us yours and we will only send units where it is allowed.

Does a warehouse lease in Sharjah need to be attested?

Yes. Sharjah Municipality attests commercial leases — the landlord has to do it within 15 days — and the Economic Development Department needs the attested lease to issue or renew a trade licence. Attestation costs 5% of the yearly rent, minimum AED 500, plus small service fees.

Can staff live in a warehouse in Sharjah?

No. Staff and labour accommodation needs its own attested contract in a building approved for it; in Sharjah that housing is concentrated in the industrial areas and Al Saja’a.
