1. What is the RERA Rental Calculator?

The RERA Rental Calculator determines the permissible rent increase for properties in Dubai based on the RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) rental index. It helps landlords and tenants calculate fair rent adjustments according to Dubai's regulations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the RERA rental increase formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Current Rent} \) — The existing annual rent amount in AED
• \( \text{RERA Index Rate} \) — The percentage increase allowed by RERA

Explanation: The formula calculates the new maximum rent by applying the RERA-approved percentage increase to the current rent.

3. Importance of RERA Rental Increase Calculation

Details: Accurate rent increase calculation is crucial for compliance with Dubai's rental laws, preventing disputes between landlords and tenants, and ensuring fair market practices.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter current rent in AED and the RERA index rate as a percentage. The calculator will show the new maximum allowable rent according to RERA guidelines.
