Is the rent increase notice considered valid if the landlord did not mention the amount of increase?
My landlord notified me of the intention to increase the rent 110 days before the lease expiry without specifying the amount of the increase.
He now (we are 60 days until renewal) wants to have the valuation done, according to RERA, there is no increase.
If he has a higher valuation, can he still ask for the increase or is it too late?
If I do not accept the increase, is he obliged to ask for a judgment?
If he wins, how much time do I have to vacate?
Thanks
According to Dubai rental law, the party has to send a notice before 90 days of renewal.
Here he has not completed the formality in a strict sense. He hasn't mentioned the exact amount of rent increment.
Furthermore, you are not obliged to pay more than permitted as per the RERA Index.
Even though he presented a valuation certificate, the judge will issue a verdict by considering the RERA Index as well.

Dear Client,
Thanks for your question, I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.
If your tenant wants to increase the rent based on a valuation, it should still comply with the 90-day notice period before lease renewal.
If there is a disagreement, either party can seek a judgment from the Rental Dispute Settlement Center (RDSC).
If the tenant wins, the rent won't increase, and the existing terms continue. If the landlord wins, the tenant must adhere to the new lease terms, including the increase.
Eviction proceedings may be initiated if the tenant refuses to comply, and the timeframe for vacating can vary.
