in the Emirate of Dubai Article 1
The maximum annual rent increase in Dubai is determined by the RERA Rental Increase Calculator, which is based on the Dubai rental index. Landlords can increase rent only if the current rental amount is below the average market rate, and the permissible increase is as follows:
No Increase: If the current rent is up to 10% below the market rate.
5% Increase: If the current rent is 11% to 20% below the market rate.
10% Increase: If the current rent is 21% to 30% below the market rate.
15% Increase: If the current rent is 31% to 40% below the market rate.
20% Increase: If the current rent is more than 40% below the market rate.
This regulation applies to residential and commercial properties and ensures fairness between tenants and landlords. It’s always advisable to check the latest updates on the RERA Rental Index or consult with a legal expert for specific cases.
However, in all above mentioned four cases, landlord must notify tenant at least ninety (90) days prior to expiry date of tenancy contract.
