    How is a zero percent rent increase determined?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Under Decree No. (43) of 2013, a landlord is prohibited from applying any Rent increase if the current rent of the unit is up to ten percent (10%) less than the average rental value of similar units in that area. The average value is strictly determined by the Rent Index of the Emirate of Dubai approved by RERA. This regulation ensures that tenants are protected from price hikes when their current lease remains within a reasonable margin of the prevailing market standards.
