REMT

The operating layer where every party in UAE residential property — Owner, Tenant, Real Estate Agent, and Maintenance Services Provider — transacts against the same record.

Built around the Owner as the paying customer. Runs the lifecycle for one Unit or twenty, whether the Owner is in Dubai Marina or a flat in Knightsbridge.

What's broken today

The problem

UAE residential property is managed today on WhatsApp, paper, and spreadsheets. The friction lives in three places, and each one compounds the next.

Owners lose track of inflows, deadlines, and supplier costs. Rent in messages. Renewal dates in a paper calendar. Maintenance bills emailed and lost. No Owner with three Units can show, at a glance, whether Unit 3 is profitable this year. When a tenant asks for documentation, they assemble it from four places.

Statutory notice windows are missed because nobody surfaces them. Dubai requires 90 days' written notice before any rent increase. Twelve months' notarised notice to evict a tenant for personal use. Miss the window and the next renewal is automatic at the existing rent — and the Owner doesn't learn until the tenant points it out.

Non-resident Owners — 40%+ of the Dubai market — face all of that, then more layers. Ejari registration can be filed online via Dubai REST, but it requires a UAE Pass that non-residents typically don't hold. Eviction notices need notarised service. Cross-border AED transfers take a week. Owners hire someone in Dubai to handle it — but they can't see what that person is doing.

REMT addresses this by encoding the regulatory layer inside the workflow, verifying every party against authority records, and rendering a single source of truth that operates seamlessly across borders.

One event, multiple viewpoints

How REMT works

Most property tools are built for one actor — an Owner app, an Agent CRM, an MSP dispatcher, a Tenant portal. The data lives in that actor's silo and crosses to the others by email, WhatsApp, PDF attachment, or phone call. That is the gap REMT is built to close.

REMT puts every party on the same transactional surface. A contract signing, a rent payment, a renewal notice, a maintenance ticket, a listing assignment — each event exists once as a record. The Owner doesn't send the Tenant a PDF; the Tenant opens it from the Unit page. The Owner doesn't forward the Agent a brief; the assignment routes to the Agent's queue. The Owner doesn't WhatsApp the MSP a photo; the Tenant attaches it to the ticket and the MSP picks it up. One event, one record, multiple viewpoints.

The Owner verifies their identity and registers their Units (UAE ID for residents, passport + KYC for non-residents). They author rental contracts on the Unified Ejari Tenancy Contract template; REMT generates the Ejari submission for Dubai REST or a trustee centre. Tenants get invitations tied to the Ejari record. From that point, every notice window, every rent-increase limit, every renewal deadline is tracked. Per-Unit and portfolio P&L is real-time. From Dubai, London, Mumbai, or Singapore — same screen.

Cross-border by default

The non-resident wedge

More than 40% of Dubai residential property is owned by people who don't live in the UAE — across 150+ countries. The standard tools assume an Owner who can walk into a DLD office on a Tuesday afternoon. They can't.

REMT is the first self-serve platform designed cross-border from day one:

• circle Passport-based identity with KYC — no UAE residency required.
• circle Online Ejari via Dubai REST for any Owner with a UAE Pass; for those without one, REMT's Phase 1.5+ operations network handles the one-time trustee-centre filing as an optional service. After initial Ejari, everything is operable remotely.
• circle The attestation chain made tractable — UAE Embassy legalisation → MOFAIC attestation → Arabic translation → optional Dubai Courts e-Notary registration, tracked as a 5-step checklist with status visibility.
• circle Notices served cross-border — in-app + email + registered international mail, with read-receipts logged.
• circle Billing in AED via international card; no UAE bank account required.
• circle Delegation if the Owner wants it — an optional Power-of-Attorney workflow lets the Owner appoint someone they trust (resident or non-resident) with scoped, audit-logged access. Most Owners run REMT directly; delegation is there when it's useful, not a requirement.

This is the wedge the market most underserves.

UAE residential rentals

The market

Foreign capital is compounding into Dubai residential property; the regulatory regime is diverging across emirates (Smart Rental Index since 01-01-2025, Mollak service charges, Sharjah Law 5/2024 replacing Law 2/2007); supply-side discovery (Agents, MSPs) is fragmenting; and the cost of operating "by feel" is climbing.

The space for an operating-layer platform that absorbs the complexity has opened — and the segment most painfully exposed is the 40% who live abroad.

REMT sits in a deliberate gap: SaaS-tier price, UAE-native regulatory layer, multi-party architecture — no other tool in this market occupies that intersection.

What we ship, when

The product

Phase	Scope	Why now
Phase 0	UAE entity · UAE counsel · 10 Owner discovery calls · 5 named pilots committed to pay	Gates the build. No code without committed pilots.
Phase 1 · MVP	Dubai only · 8 weeks · Foundation + Tenancy + Ejari + light Financials + Statutory Notices	Prove the per-emirate model on the regulatory regime we know best.
Phase 1.5	Vetted MSPs · Agent listings · Tenant mobile · Abu Dhabi (Tawtheeq)	Supply side opens; regulatory pattern replicates.
Phase 2	Sharjah (Law 5/2024) · Ajman (Tasdeeq)	Configuration-only — no core rework.
Phase 3	Rent collection · MSP payouts · cross-border AED · data product	Triggered by 200+ paying Owners; licensed scope.

Dubai-first is deliberate. Depth-of-curation is the moat. Each later phase is regulatory data and supply seeding — not new core product.

Customer acquisition compounds. The engineering surface does not.

Tiered per-Unit

Pricing & unit economics

Owner pricing. AED 49 for Unit 1. AED 39 each for Units 2–5. AED 29 each for Units 6–10. AED 19 each for Units 11–20. Custom enterprise quote for portfolios beyond 20.

Tenants — free. Invitation-only. They ride on the contracts they're already on.

Agents & MSPs (Phase 1.5+). Free trial + annual plan. Per-emirate take-rate on Phase 3 payment processing once 200+ paying Owners is reached.

Launch promo. First 100 Owners get Unit #1 free for 12 months. Standard tiered pricing kicks in from Unit #2 in the launch cohort and from Unit #1 after the cohort closes. The promo costs ~AED 58,800 in deferred Year-1 ARR and is an explicit Phase 0 budget line.

Keyper — full-service property management in the same Dubai market — costs AED 3,950/year per apartment. REMT for a 1-Unit Owner is AED 588/year. The 6.7× spread is intentional: Keyper does the work for the Owner; REMT gives the Owner the software to do it themselves.

Earned, not claimed

Moat

Most pitch decks claim moats they don't have. We won't.

We win by moving fast and being honest about what's earned vs what's promised — that's the differentiator that ends the dishonest moat-talk every other deck in this space is trafficking in.

Founders

Team

Three UAE-born engineers with 15+ years each in the UAE construction sector and complementary project-management disciplines spanning structural, MEP, and delivery oversight. Between them they have managed residential and mixed-use developments across the Emirates from the inside — and that is where they encountered the operating gaps the platform is built to close.

Construction-industry depth means the founders read building drawings, MEP layouts, and defect categories natively — the same primitives the platform exposes to MSPs at Phase 1.5+. Project-management depth means the workflow logic is grounded in delivered experience, not abstracted from a textbook. This is a team that has shipped real assets, on time, in this market.

REMT is conceived in step with the UAE's national agenda — Vision 2031, the Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033, and the federal push toward digital-first government services. The founders' ambition is to be the trendsetter on the Owner side of that move.

Advisory bench we are actively recruiting: UAE-resident legal counsel, real-estate operations veterans, and a marketing lead for the Indian, British, Chinese, Saudi, and Russian Owner cohorts.

Positioning — what REMT is not

• Not legal advice. Encodes published standard contracts; does not advise on disputes. The Rental Disputes Centre and qualified counsel remain the right destinations.
• Not a public listing portal. Property Finder, Bayut, and Dubizzle remain the consumer-facing surface. REMT is the operational lifecycle layer behind every Unit.
• Built on existing UAE infrastructure. DLD, DMT, RERA, Ejari, Tawtheeq, MOFAIC, UAE Notary Public. Reads and surfaces published authority sources rather than replacing them.
• Designed cross-border from day one. 40%+ of Dubai residential Owners are non-resident; the verification and notice model is built for them, not retrofitted.
