Dubai regulates residential rent increases through Decree No. 43 of 2013, which compares your current rent to the average market rent for similar properties (published on the RERA Rental Index) and sets a maximum allowed increase based on how far below average your current rent sits.
You'll need the "average market rent" figure for your specific area, property type and size from the official RERA Rental Index calculator on the Dubai Land Department website — enter that value above alongside your current rent.
The Dubai Land Department publishes an official RERA Rental Index tool that gives an average rent for a given area, property type and size. Use the figure it returns as the "average market rent" input here.
This calculator reflects Dubai's RERA rental index rule specifically. Other Emirates may have different or no equivalent rent-cap regulation — check with the local municipality or land department.
Not lawfully, if the tenancy falls under Dubai's RERA rules and proper notice (typically 90 days before renewal) has been given. Increases beyond the calculated cap can be disputed at the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre.
