Your received a rent increase notice—and it seems excessive. Before you accept it or sign a new contract, you need to know:
You Could Be Overpaying Thousands of Dirhams
Most tenants in Dubai don’t realize that RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) has strict regulations on how much and when landlords can raise rent. Many landlords either don’t know these rules—or hope you don’t.
The reality: A 15% increase on a AED 80,000 apartment costs you AED 12,000 extra per year. That’s money you shouldn’t be paying.
The Problem: RERA Rules Are Complex
Dubai’s rental increase laws aren’t straightforward. The legal amount depends on:
- Current market rates in your specific area
- Your property type and location
- Timing of the notice
- Ejari registration status
- Multiple RERA calculator variables
One mistake in calculating or challenging an increase can cost you your case.
What Happens If You Get It Wrong?
If you accept an increase: You overpay for the entire contract period with no way to recover those funds.
If you challenge it incorrectly: You could damage your relationship with your landlord, risk eviction notices, or lose your deposit.
If you miss critical deadlines: You forfeit your right to dispute—even if the increase was clearly illegal.
Why DIY Doesn’t Work for Rental Disputes
RERA regulations change frequently. Filing with the Rental Dispute Center requires specific documentation, precise legal arguments, and knowledge of recent case precedents. One missing document or incorrect form can delay your case for months.
Time is not on your side. You typically have limited time to respond to rent increase notices under Dubai law.
