I'm renewing my tenancy contract and the landlord wants to increase above RERA index

Hello,

I hope you are doing well!

I really need some advice.

I'm renewing my contract in a few months and the landlord was asking for AED 60000. The maximum increase according to the RERA index is AED 50,820 which was my proposal.

The owner responded by saying that they want AED 55000 as the rent. I am confused because I thought by law the maximum increase would be within the RERA index.

If I don't agree to the owner's rate, would I be compromised in any way?

Please assist me.

Thank you.

Pursuant to your query, the landlord can only increase the rent in accordance with the RERA index.

If the landlord is not agreeing, you can approach the RDC and request for the rent renewal as per the RERA Index and open the offer and deposit request.

Hi.

If the Landlord has given you the notary eviction notice you will have to evict the property after the notice period.

However, if you get to know that the landlord has not sold the property and put it on the rent, you can file a complaint with the Tribunal in the RDC.
