Legal experts say landlords in the UAE are generally free to choose whom they rent to and may legally decline applicants based on low credit scores or financial risk concerns, especially after Etihad Credit Bureau introduced a new tenant screening solution that allows landlords to request prospective tenants’ credit scores through UAE PASS—although tenants must first give consent before any information is shared, and they are not legally required to disclose their credit history. Experts also note that maintaining timely payments for loans, utility bills, and credit cards can significantly improve a resident’s creditworthiness and strengthen their chances of securing rental properties in competitive UAE markets such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
