Takeem has launched the GCC’s First Rental Guarantee service, a value-added offering for landlords, tenants, asset managers, and agents arriving as regional markets navigate renewed uncertainty.
The Takeem Rental Guarantee (TRG) covers landlords against tenant non-payment and includes Emergency Maintenance for urgent property repairs.
As per the statement, it is available alongside Takeem Direct Debit (TDD), the platform’s automated digital payment service that replaces post-dated cheques with monthly direct debit collection, offered separately for landlords and agencies managing rent collection at scale.
The UAE rental market has operated for decades without the protective infrastructure standard in mature economies. While landlords in the UK, Europe, and the United States rely on guaranteed rent schemes, the UAE has depended on post-dated cheques, a mechanism that locks up tenant capital while offering landlords only the illusion of security.
According to the reports, this structural gap has forced both parties into unnecessary friction, with landlords absorbing unprotected income risk, tenants surrendering cash flow flexibility, and maintenance issues escalating.
Rakesh Mavath, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Takeem, commented that, “For the first time, landlords in the UAE have a structured way to protect against tenant default, while gaining the confidence to offer monthly payment terms without compromising income certainty.”
“By bringing together rental guarantees, automated payments, and emergency maintenance into a single solution, TRG removes anxiety from the rental process. This, in turn, supports a stable and predictable market environment, strengthening investor confidence and aligning with the UAE’s broader economic and regulatory direction,” Mavath added.

Takeem is a Dubai-based PropTech platform building the trust layer for the property ecosystem, the infrastructure that allows strangers to trust each other, gives foreign investors confidence, and takes the anxiety out of renting and owning.
Acting as a digital enabling layer, the company standardises risk management across property transactions and relationships, reducing friction and uncertainty while enabling smoother transactions and more predictable outcomes.
