Dear Questioner,

If your property is in Dubai, you can increase rent according to the RERA rental index, but please note that any amendments to the tenancy contract shall be made within 3 months of notification before renewal.

Both parties can decide whether to accept the changes or not. Only mutually accepted terms will stand in new contracts.

Hi,

This is Nada,

Sir, it's up to you; if you want to accept the 6 cheques payment, it's OK. If you don’t want to, just refuse.

To increase the rent legally, you need to inform the tenant 3 months before the end of the rent contract.

Now you can not increase the rent but also you can reject the 6 cheques request.

If you require any legal support, please contact me.

Regards,

Nada

Here, the terms of a tenancy contract can be changed before 90 days of renewal by a notification by the party with mutual consent.

If the tenant accepts this, then you can increase or change the payment terms. Otherwise, it's not possible under the law.

If you need further clarification, we will arrange a legal consultation for a charge.

You can't increase the rent, and you can refuse to pay with six checks.
