GUIDE

Which resident app should I download?

By JJay Ellis ·Checked against official sources· Updated October 2026Follow @getsetl.ae

Depending on the property, the app may handle move-in permits, maintenance requests, visitor entry, parking registration, facility bookings and community notices. Your building and wider community may use separate platforms, so confirm whether you need more than one.

Ask how to register as a tenant and link your apartment. You may need your tenancy details, Ejari, Emirates ID or an invitation from management. If your unit is still linked to the previous occupant, ask management to update access.

Use your own contact details, keep verification codes private and check any payment request before approving it. Confirm alternative contact details for urgent maintenance or emergencies rather than relying entirely on an app.
