1. What is the RERA Dubai Rent Index?

The RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) Rent Index in Dubai determines the maximum allowable rent increase for existing tenants. It helps maintain fair rental practices in Dubai's real estate market.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the rent increase formula:

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

Where:

Current Rent — The tenant's current annual rent in AED
RERA Index Rate — The percentage increase allowed as per RERA index

Explanation: The calculation determines the new maximum rent that can be charged based on RERA's approved increase percentage.
