    What conditions permit a ten percent rent increase?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    According to the current legislation, a ten percent (10%) increase in rent is permitted only when the existing rent is twenty-one percent (21%) to thirty percent (30%) less than the average market value. The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) maintains the Rent Index used to calculate these specific gaps. This rule applies to both public and private landlords across the Emirate, including those in Special Development Zones and free zones, ensuring a uniform application of rental growth caps across Dubai.
