Rent Increase Law in Dubai   

 Rent Increase Law in Dubai    in Dubai is crucial for both landlords and tenants to ensure fairness and transparency in the rental market.1 Here's a breakdown of the key aspects:

Key Regulatory Body:

  • The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), a division of the Dubai Land Department (DLD), is the governing body that regulates the rental market in Dubai.2

Core Principles:

  • RERA Rental Index:
    • This is the primary tool used to determine permissible rent increases.3 It provides a benchmark for market rental values in different areas of Dubai.4
    • Landlords must adhere to this index when adjusting rental prices.5
  • 90-Day Notice:
    • Landlords are required to provide tenants with a minimum of 90 days' written notice before the lease renewal date if they intend to increase the rent.6
  • Permissible Rent Increase:
    • The allowable rent increase is determined by the difference between the current rent and the market rate, as indicated by the RERA Rental Index.7
    • Here's a general guideline:
      • If the current rent is less than 10% below the market rate: No increase.8
      • If the current rent is 11%–20% below the market rate: Maximum 5% increase.9
      • If the current rent is 21%–30% below the market rate: Maximum 10% increase.10
      • If the current rent is 31%–40% below the market rate: Maximum 15% increase.11
      • If the current rent is more than 40% below the market rate: Maximum 20% increase.12
  • Initial Tenancy:
    • Generally, landlords cannot increase rent during the first two years of a tenancy agreement.

Important Considerations:

  • Dispute Resolution:
    • Tenants who believe a rent increase is unjustified can file a complaint with the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre (RDSC).13
  • Transparency:
    • The RERA Rental Index promotes transparency, allowing tenants to verify the validity of rent increases.14

Where to Find Information:

  • The Dubai Land Department (DLD) and RERA websites are the official sources for accurate and up-to-date information.15

By following these regulations, Dubai aims to maintain a balanced and fair rental market for all parties involved.
