Rent increase

My renewal came in higher. Is that legal?

Dubai caps rent increases on renewal by a legally defined slab tied to how far below market the current rent sits. Precise, legal, and high-traffic — tenants search for this constantly.

I haven’t switched this one on.

It’s waiting on Decree 43/2013 slabs and the RERA rental index. Until that source is open to me, any figure here would be a guess, so there isn’t one.

What would switch it on

  • Read Decree 43 of 2013 and confirm the current slabs on the DLD rental index.
  • Find whether the rental index is queryable, or derive a benchmark from the rents dataset.
