Can I add a rent increase clause that exceeds the RERA increase?

Dear Client,

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

In Dubai, the Rental Increase Calculator issued by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) governs rent increases.

These regulations are typically followed, and any increase must align with the RERA guidelines.

You generally cannot add a separate minimum yearly increase to your tenancy contract that overrides RERA regulations, even if the tenant agrees and signs, as this would likely be considered invalid under local rental laws.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED

Dear Questioner,

Yes, by mutual consent between both parties.

Dear Questioner,

You can add it but it is illegal.

Yes, you can, but in the event of a dispute, it is what the law says that is enforceable, not the contract.
