What to cover
Building cover usually sits with the owners' association. Owners should hold contents and landlord liability — roughly AED 800–2,500 a year for an apartment in Dubai Sports City, more for a furnished short-let unit.
Short-let specifics
Holiday-home operation needs a policy that explicitly covers paying guests. Standard home policies exclude it, and platform guarantees are not insurance.
