What is the rule on rental increases if the RERA Rental Index is not available?

Dear,

They are not entitled to a rent increase.

Dear Questioner,

If the RERA Rental Index is not available for a particular area, the landlord and tenant can mutually agree on a rental increase.

However, in the absence of a mutual agreement, the landlord cannot unilaterally increase the rent.

Dear Client,

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

In Dubai, rental increases are governed by the Dubai Rent Index and the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA).

If the RERA Rental Index is not available for a specific area, such as your developer, landlords and tenants are advised to mutually agree upon a fair rental increase.

The Dubai Rent Committee may intervene if there is a dispute, and they will assess the increase based on market rates in similar areas.

However, it's essential to maintain open communication with your landlord and try to reach a reasonable agreement when the Rent Index is not applicable.

There won't be any such area that is out of the control of the authority. There will be some guidelines which have to be followed by the landlord in any of the emirates.
