1. What is the Dubai Rental Calculation?

The Dubai rental calculation uses the RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) index rent multiplied by an adjustment factor to determine the appropriate rent for a property. This helps maintain fair rental prices in Dubai's real estate market.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the rental formula:

Where:

• \( Index\ Rent \) — Base rent as per Dubai RERA index (AED/month)
• \( Adjustment\ Factor \) — Multiplier accounting for property features and market conditions (unitless)

Explanation: The RERA index provides baseline rental values for different areas and property types, while the adjustment factor accounts for property-specific features like views, renovations, or amenities.

3. Importance of Rental Calculation

Details: Accurate rental calculation ensures compliance with Dubai's rental laws, prevents excessive rent increases, and helps maintain a balanced rental market between landlords and tenants.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the RERA index rent in AED/month and the appropriate adjustment factor (typically between 0.8 and 1.2). The default adjustment factor is 1.0 for properties matching the standard RERA index specifications.
