    What is the penalty for a developer imposing unauthorized charges?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    It is strictly illegal for a Developer to impose any charges on buyers without the prior approval of RERA. If a developer is found collecting unauthorized fees, they face a fine of AED 100,000. This regulation prevents developers from adding hidden administrative costs or maintenance fees that have not been vetted for fairness and necessity. Protecting purchasers from such unauthorized financial burdens is a core objective of Dubai�s real estate consumer protection laws.
