UAE RERA Rent Increase Calculator (Dubai)

Estimate the maximum legal rent increase allowed under Dubai’s RERA rental index.

This is an estimate for general informational purposes only, not legal advice. The RERA rental index and the resulting market rent figure for your specific property type, location and size should be checked on Dubai’s official rental index calculator, not estimated manually.

Dubai limits annual rent increases based on how far your current rent sits below the RERA rental index average for similar properties in the area — no increase is allowed if your rent is already at or close to market rate, rising to a maximum 20% increase for rents furthest below market value.

Example

  • With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Percent Below Market Rent ≈ 25.00; Maximum Allowed Increase ≈ 10%; Maximum New Annual Rent ≈ AED 66,000.00.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my rent is already at market rate?

If your current rent is within 10% of the RERA average for comparable properties, your landlord cannot increase your rent at all for the coming year.

What is the maximum possible rent increase?

The maximum allowed increase is 20%, which applies only when your current rent is more than 40% below the RERA rental index average for similar properties.
