Can I increase the rent as per rent valuation Certificate if RERA does not allow it?

Dear Client,

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

If the RERA rental index shows no increase but you have received a Rental Value Certificate (RVC) indicating a rental value of 150k AED, you can typically ask for an increase in line with the RVC.

In this case, you may consider proposing a rent increase up to the 150k AED rental value indicated in the certificate.

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

You can increase a maximum of 20%.

You can increase the rent according to the RERA index. When a dispute arises, the index will prevail over RVC.

Hi,

Pursuant to your query, the rental increase has to be in accordance to the percentage of rent increase set by RERA, the overall economic situation in the Emirate, the condition of the real property and the average rent of similar property in similar property market within the same area.

If you have reason to believe that the RERA calculation is not updated, you can file a complaint in the RDC based on that valuation report.

However, it depends on the judge if he/she will consider it as per the valuation report or rental index.
