📈 Understanding RERA Rental Index
The RERA Rental Index is an official tool created by the Dubai Land Department to regulate rental prices across the emirate. It provides fair market values for properties based on their type, size, location, and other factors.
How Rent Increases Work in UAE
According to RERA regulations, landlords can only increase rent under specific conditions:
- The current rent must be below the RERA Index value for similar properties
- Increases are capped based on how much below market value the current rent is
- Proper 90-day notice must be given before any increase
2023 Rent Increase Caps
| Current Rent vs Market Value | Maximum Allowable Increase |
|---|---|
| 11-20% below market value | 5% increase |
| 21-30% below market value | 10% increase |
| 31-40% below market value | 15% increase |
| More than 40% below market value | 20% increase |
How to Dispute a Rent Increase
