Can the new owner of an apartment increase my rent if it is against RERA Index?

If you haven't received any eviction notice, then it's better to continue the Ejari.

At the time of renewal, renew it with the new owner where your existing tenant rights would be secured.

For further information feel free to reach out to me at my phone to book a consultation for a charge.

Dear Client,

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

1. Consider revising your Ejari contract with the new owner's details.

2. Rent adjustments should follow your existing contract terms or RERA Index calculator unless otherwise agreed upon. Review your contract and discuss it with the new owner.

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

HI,

From your side, it is preferred to change Ijari and the cheques under the new owner's name.

From his side, he can only follow the RERA calculator, not the market price as the rent relationship is extended to him and cannot be considered a new agreement.

Pleased to assist more if necessary.

1. There is no need to cancel the Ejari and make a new one. Instead, request a copy of the title deed showing the ownership.

2. The owner is obliged to follow the RERA index calculator.

1) No need for that.

2) He can only do so with 90 days’ notice before the end of the current contract.
