1. What is the RERA Rent Increase Calculation?

The RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) rent increase calculation determines the maximum allowable rent increase in Dubai, considering both the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate and the RERA cap (typically 20%).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the RERA rent increase formula:

\[ \text{Rent Increase} = \min(\text{CPI} \times \text{Current Rent}, \text{RERA Cap}) \]

Where:

\( \text{Current Rent} \) — Current monthly rent amount in AED
\( \text{CPI} \) — Consumer Price Index (inflation rate) percentage
\( \text{RERA Cap} \) — Maximum allowed rent increase percentage (typically 20%)

Explanation: The rent increase is the lower value between the CPI-adjusted increase and the RERA cap limit.

3. Importance of RERA Rent Cap

Details: The RERA cap protects tenants from excessive rent increases while allowing landlords to adjust rents according to market conditions. It ensures fair and regulated rental market practices in Dubai.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter current rent in AED, CPI percentage (available from Dubai Statistics Center), and the applicable RERA cap percentage (default is 20%). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where can I find the current CPI for Dubai?
A: The CPI is published quarterly by the Dubai Statistics Center and is available on their official website.

Q2: Is the RERA cap always 20%?

Q3: How often can rent be increased?

Q4: What if my landlord tries to increase rent beyond the RERA cap?
