    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    The Rent Index is the official reference approved by RERA to determine the average rental value of similar units in specific areas. It is the mandatory tool used to apply the percentages of Rent increase allowed under local decrees. By providing a standardised market average, the index prevents disputes by offering an objective data point for both Landlords and Tenants. It is updated periodically to reflect current market conditions, ensuring that Rent adjustments across Dubai are consistent, transparent, and fair for all residents and investors.
