1. What is the DLD Rent Calculator?

The Dubai Land Department (DLD) Rent Calculator determines permissible rent increases based on the RERA rental index. It helps landlords and tenants calculate legal rent increases according to Dubai's rental laws.

The calculator uses the DLD rent increase formula:

Where:

• Current Rent — The existing annual rent amount in AED
• DLD Index Rate — The percentage increase allowed as per RERA's rental index

Explanation: The calculation applies the approved percentage increase to the current rent amount to determine the new maximum allowable rent.

3. Importance of Rent Increase Calculation

Details: Accurate rent increase calculation ensures compliance with Dubai rental laws, prevents disputes between landlords and tenants, and maintains fair market practices.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter current rent in AED and the DLD index rate in percentage. The calculator will show the new maximum allowable rent according to Dubai rental regulations.
