Example of Using the Calculator Across the UAE
Let’s say you’re eyeing a cozy two-bedroom apartment in Abu Dhabi. Here’s what our calculator might tell you:
- Current Average Rent: AED 100,000 per year
- Market Range: AED 95,000 – AED 105,000
- Permissible Increase: If your current rent is close to AED 100,000, you may not see an increase. However, if it’s much lower, your landlord may legally be allowed to increase it within a certain percentage.
This info is super helpful when you’re chatting with landlords or deciding if you should start apartment-hunting elsewhere!
| Example Property | Current Average Rent | Market Range | Permissible Increase |
| 2-Bedroom Apartment in Abu Dhabi | AED 100,000 | AED 95,000 – AED 105,000 | No increase if within 10% of market average. |
| 1-Bedroom Villa in Dubai | AED 120,000 | AED 115,000 – AED 130,000 | Up to 5%-20% if significantly below market rate. |
Rental Increase Regulations in the UAE
Here’s something cool – each emirate has its own rules to stop landlords from going crazy with rent increases (phew!). Dubai’s pretty strict about it with their RERA rules, and other emirates have their own ways of keeping things fair. Our calculator stays up to date with all these rules, so you don’t have to memorize them!
Here’s the basic breakdown:
- No Increase: If rent is within 10% of the area’s average.
- 5%-20% Increase: This range may apply if rent is significantly below the market average, with percentage increases varying by emirate and market conditions.
For instance, if everyone in your area in Sharjah is paying AED 100,000, but you’re only paying AED 80,000, don’t be surprised if your landlord wants to bump it up a bit!
