Every empty day costs a landlord rent, so between-tenancy work is a scheduling problem as much as a building one. The efficient turnaround runs repairs, repainting, AC service and deep clean as one coordinated job with a single team, rather than sequential visits from four separate contractors with gaps between them.
Prospective tenants in Dubai make a decision quickly, and a small number of things drive it: whether the paint is fresh and uniform, whether the kitchen and bathrooms look clean rather than merely used, whether the AC is cold and quiet, and whether anything is visibly broken or non-functional. Those are inexpensive to address between tenancies and expensive to ignore, because a unit that shows badly either sits empty or lets below market.
The order is what compresses the timeline: repairs first, then painting, then AC service, then the clean. Cleaning before painting wastes the clean. Running trades on separate uncoordinated visits is what turns a one-week turnaround into three. Most apartments can be turned around in under a week when the whole scope is booked together.
It is worth having a dated, photographed record of the unit's condition once the refurbishment is finished and before the next tenant moves in. It sets the standard the property was handed over in, which is the reference point at the end of the next tenancy.

These are observations from working in Dubai, not rules. No authority publishes them as requirements, and your own contract or community may differ.
Please read this. The information above is general guidance to help you understand the process. It is not legal advice, and Burj Al Wasl is a licensed contractor rather than a legal or regulatory representative. Rules, fees and procedures change, so confirm the current position with the relevant authority or a qualified professional before acting on anything here. We can restore a property to handover condition and document its state, which is what removes the grounds for a deduction. We cannot decide a dispute, and we do not promise any particular outcome on a deposit: that sits with the parties and, if contested, with the Rental Disputes Settlement Centre.
