As Dubai flourishes, so does the cost of living, particularly when it comes to rent. So it’s crucial for you to stay informed and protect yourself from potential exploitation by your landlords. Fortunately, there’s a valuable tool at your disposal—the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) calculator.

One of the significant changes brought about by the new tenancy law in Dubai is the introduction of rent increase rules. According to the legislation, landlords can only raise the rent once the tenancy agreement has expired, and any rent increase must align with RERA’s rental increase calculator. This calculator acts as a guideline, indicating the maximum percentage by which landlords can increase the rent legally. Any amount exceeding this limit would be considered illegal.

A real estate agent in Dubai, Lucky Rajdev AKA realestatewithlucky shared invaluable insights as to how tenants can calculate legal rent hike percentages in the city using just their Ejari number, this will ensure your rent increase remains fair and lawful, allowing you to navigate the rental market with confidence.

This is how tenants can access the RERA calculator to determine the permissible rent increase in a few simple steps:
