What is RERA Mollak? — Real Estate Regulatory Agency Mollak System
Direct Definition
RERA Mollak is the electronic system operated by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) to manage service charges, co-owned property accounts, and escrow funds for jointly owned residential and commercial properties throughout Dubai. RERA Mollak introduces total fiscal transparency into Dubai co-owned real estate management by regulating how service charges are budgeted, invoiced, and collected. By routing all maintenance payments through regulated escrow accounts and validating expenses against approved line items, Mollak protects property investor capital and prevents financial mismanagement.
