Tips: Enter your current annual rent in AED and the applicable rental index rate percentage. The calculator will show the new maximum rent amount allowed.
Q1: Where can I find the official Dubai rental index rate?
A: The Dubai Land Department publishes the rental index annually on their official website and at their service centers.
Q2: How often can landlords increase rent in Dubai?
A: Landlords can typically increase rent only after the completion of the current lease term (usually annually), and only if the current rent is below market rates as per the rental index.
Q3: What if my rent is already above the rental index?
A: If your current rent is already higher than the market rate according to the rental index, the landlord cannot increase it further.
Q4: Are there exceptions to the rental increase cap?
A: Some properties (like newly constructed buildings) may be exempt for the first few years. Always check with RERA for specific cases.
Q5: What should I do if my landlord exceeds the allowed increase?
A: You can file a complaint with the Rental Dispute Center (RDC) at the Dubai Land Department.
