Rent Increase Formula:
From: | To: |
The Dubai Rent Increase Calculator estimates your new rental amount for 2025 based on the current rent and the official RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) index rate. It helps tenants and landlords determine the maximum allowable rent increase according to Dubai's rental laws.
The calculator uses the RERA rent increase formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculation applies the RERA-approved percentage increase to your current rent to determine the new maximum allowable rent.
Details: RERA sets annual rent increase caps based on how much the current rent compares to average market rents. The increase percentage varies depending on whether your rent is below, at, or above market rates.
Tips: Enter your current annual rent in AED and the applicable RERA index rate for 2025 (as a percentage). The calculator will show your new maximum allowable rent for 2025.
Q1: Where can I find the official RERA index rate?
A: The RERA index rate is published annually on the Dubai Land Department website or through the RERA rental increase calculator.
Q2: Is this the maximum rent increase allowed?
A: Yes, landlords cannot increase rent beyond what the RERA calculator permits, unless the property has undergone significant improvements.
Q3: When does the new rent take effect?
A: Rent increases typically apply when renewing your rental contract, not during the contract period.
Q4: What if I disagree with the rent increase?
A: You can file a dispute with the Rental Dispute Settlement Center (RDSC) within 30 days of receiving the increase notice.
Q5: Are there properties exempt from RERA rent cap?
A: Yes, some freehold areas may have different regulations, and newly constructed properties might be exempt for the first year.
