How much can your landlord legally raise the rent at renewal? Dubai caps it by how far your rent sits below the market average — the RERA Rental Index, under Decree 43 of 2013.
Your rent is about 25% below the market average — the "21–30% below market" band, which caps any increase at 10%.
A landlord must give 90 days' written notice before the renewal date to change the rent or any other term (Law 33 of 2008, Article 14). Miss the notice, and the tenancy renews on the same terms.
General information for Dubai, not legal advice · Decree 43 of 2013 & Law 26 of 2007 (as amended) · figures use the RERA Rental Index you enter. Other emirates set their own caps.
