RERA Rent Increase Calculator (Dubai Rental Index)
Dubai's RERA Rent Increase Calculator determines the maximum rent increase a landlord can legally charge based on the RERA Rental Index.
Dubai Law No. 26 of 2007 is the tenancy law. The rent-increase bands used by this calculator are those in Dubai Executive Council Decree No. 43 of 2013.
Under Dubai Executive Council Decree No. 43 of 2013: if current rent is within 10% of the RERA average, no increase is allowed; 11–20% below permits up to 5%; 21–30% up to 10%; 31–40% up to 15%; and more than 40% up to 20%.
