1. What is the RERA Rent Increase Calculator?

The RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) Rent Increase Calculator helps determine the maximum allowable rent increase for properties in Dubai based on the RERA Rental Index. It ensures landlords comply with Dubai's rental increase regulations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the RERA rent increase formula:

\[ \text{New Rent} = \text{Current Rent} \times (1 + \frac{\text{RERA Index Rate}}{100}) \]

Where:

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

Explanation: The calculation determines the new maximum rent by applying the permitted percentage increase to the current rent.

3. Importance of RERA Rent Calculation

Details: Accurate rent increase calculation is crucial for both landlords and tenants to ensure compliance with Dubai's rental laws and avoid disputes. The RERA index prevents excessive rent hikes while allowing fair adjustments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current rent in AED and the applicable RERA index rate percentage. The calculator will show the new maximum allowable rent. Always verify the current RERA index rate for your specific property type and area.
