Brief About Rent Increase and RERA
In Dubai, the rental increase is determined by following the
“Rental Index” approved by the Real Estate Regulatory
Agency (RERA) (Article 3). The changes are subject to the
provisions of Decree number 43 of 2013, determining the rent
increase for real property in the emirates of Dubai.
How are Rental Increases Implemented?
In case of a rental increase, the landlord must follow the
following:
- The landlord is required to provide the tenant with a ninety
days' notice before the expiry of the tenancy notifying of
the rental increase.
- The landlord is not allowed to raise the rent if this mandatory
notice period has not been given to the tenant.
