1. What is the RERA Rent Increase Calculator?

The Dubai Land Department's RERA Rent Increase Calculator determines the maximum allowable rent increase for residential and commercial properties in Dubai based on the RERA Rental Index. It helps landlords and tenants calculate fair rent adjustments according to Dubai's real estate regulations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the RERA rent increase formula:

\[ \text{New Rent} = \text{Current Rent} \times (1 + \text{RERA Index Rate}) \]

Where:

Current Rent — The existing annual rent amount in AED
RERA Index Rate — The percentage increase allowed based on RERA's rental value index

Explanation: The calculation ensures rent increases stay within legal limits set by Dubai's Real Estate Regulatory Agency.

3. Importance of RERA Index

Details: The RERA index provides standardized rental values across Dubai neighborhoods, preventing excessive rent hikes and maintaining market stability. Landlords can only increase rent according to this index and must give 90 days notice before lease renewal.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter current rent in AED and the applicable RERA index rate percentage. The result shows the maximum new rent allowed under Dubai rental laws.
