Can I request a 20% increase based on rent evaluation certificate?

Dear Questioner,

Unfortunately, the answer to your question is not straightforward and depends on the specific circumstances of your case.

The Dubai Land Department has issued a decree (Decree 43 of 2013) which outlines the rules and regulations for rental increases in Dubai.

According to this decree, landlords are allowed to increase the rent of their properties by up to 20% of the current rent, provided that the increase is in line with the rental evaluation certificate issued by the Dubai Land Department.

However, the exact formula for calculating the percentage of increase is not specified in the decree.

Therefore, it is best to consult me to discuss this in detail by booking a consultation at a charge by reaching out via phone.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

Based on Dubai's rent increase decree, if the difference between the rent evaluation certificate and the current rent is nearly 59%, you are allowed to request a maximum increase of 10% of the current rent, not 20%.

Dear Questioner,

The formula for calculating the rent is (Rent evaluation certificate - Current rent) / Current rent * 100 = Percentage of increase.

Now in your case, you are allowed to ask for a 20% increase.

What the evaluation certificate says is approved.
