Understanding Dubai's Rent Increase Regulations

Dubai's rent increases are regulated by Decree No. 43 of 2013, which sets the maximum allowable rent increase based on how far below the market average your current rent is.

The RERA Rental Index

The Dubai Land Department (DLD) maintains the RERA Rental Index, which is a database of average rental rates for different areas and property types. This index is typically updated annually or bi-annually and is used as the benchmark for determining allowable rent increases.

Rent Increase Tiers

The following tiers determine how much a landlord can increase rent at renewal:
