Is the rent increase notice considered valid if the landlord did not mention the amount of increase?
Q: 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? ThanksDec 1, 2023

What can I do if the landlord insists on rent increase as per RERA Rental Index?
Q: What are your guidance and opinion on the below matter? On 28th August, 90 days before the renewal, I sent an email notice for renewal of rent at AED X. The tenant disagreed with the rent renewal, stating that AED X is not in line with the rental index. Enough reasons, the tenant did not agree. The apartment comprises the following features: one bedroom and a small one, a bed, and a cupboard. Provided kitchen with home appliances fridge, washing machine, and cooking range oven. When the tenant did not agree and no conclusion was reached, I was left with the option to seek a DLD Rental Evaluation, which I obtained on 28th Nov 2023. The DLD provided a rental valuation of AED Y. I communicated the DLD-provided rental valuation of AED Y to the tenant on 28th Nov 2023. On the same day, I also provided a fair option to continue for 3 months at the last year`s rent and to consider the revised 90 days` notice based on DLD rental valuation to decide whether to continue with the renewal or not.Nov 30, 2023
