Landlords can now avoid paying commissions by signing up for a monthly subscription fee.
Dubai: What if landlords in Dubai could list their properties for short-term rentals without paying commissions? Well, now they can, thanks to Monty Holiday Home’s new offer.
Starting March 1, Monty Holiday Home is offering landlords a chance to sign up for a subscription model instead of paying a commission on each short-term rental. Landlords will pay a fixed monthly fee starting from Dh1,500, rather than the usual commission rates, which typically range from 15% to 25% of the rental income. Monty says this model significantly boosts profitability for property owners.
“With our subscription-based system, homeowners get to keep all of their profits while still benefiting from expert management and AI-driven automation,” said Abir Chammah, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Monty Holiday Home. “This is the future of short-term rentals.”
Subscription models are becoming more popular across different services, and Monty Holiday Home is bringing this option to the short-term rental market. Landlords can now choose the option that best suits their needs, depending on which payment structure works out cheaper for them.
Other property-tech platforms are also considering subscription-based services, promising landlords lower costs while still offering full management services.
What Monty’s Subscription Model Offers:
- 100% of Rental Income: Homeowners keep all their earnings with a fixed monthly fee.
- Dynamic Pricing & Automated Management: Monty’s system uses dynamic pricing and booking automation to maximize occupancy and income.
- Full Financial Transparency: Landlords get clear visibility into their revenue and expenses.
Dubai’s short-term rental market continues to see strong demand, with new properties and landlords joining the market. Despite this, rental rates have been under pressure during both peak and off-peak seasons, industry sources report. However, Monty Holiday Home notes that property conversions to short-term rentals in Dubai have increased by 30% year-over-year.
For example, a two-bedroom apartment in Dubai Marina now earns around Dh25,000 per month during peak times as a short-term rental, compared to Dh12,000–Dh15,000 on a long-term lease.
With this new subscription model, Monty Holiday Home is helping landlords keep more of their earnings while offering efficient management and increased rental potential.
