1. What is Rent Increase Calculation in Dubai?

The rent increase calculation in Dubai is based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and regulated by RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency). Landlords can only increase rent by a certain percentage based on the CPI and how much the current rent compares to market rates.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{Rent Increase} = \frac{\text{CPI}}{100} \times \text{Current Rent} \]

Where:

CPI — Consumer Price Index (inflation rate in percentage)
Current Rent — The existing monthly rent amount in AED

Note: The actual permitted rent increase in Dubai may be capped by RERA rules depending on how much the current rent differs from the average market rent for similar properties.

3. Importance of Rent Increase Calculation

Details: Understanding rent increase calculations helps both landlords and tenants know their rights and obligations under Dubai rental laws. It ensures rent increases are fair and justified based on economic conditions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the current CPI percentage (available from Dubai Statistics Center) and your current monthly rent in AED. The calculator will show the potential rent increase amount and new rent.
