Worked examples
A Dubai rent of AED 80,000 where similar homes average AED 100,000 is 20% below average, so the landlord can raise it by at most 5%, to AED 84,000.
A rent of Rs 80,000 rising 10% a year is Rs 117,128 in year 5.
Questions people ask
How much can a landlord increase rent in Dubai?
It depends on how far your rent is below the average for similar homes in the Dubai Land Department's Smart Rental Index (since January 2025), which also rates your building: no increase if within 10%, up to 5% if 11–20% below, 10% if 21–30% below, 15% if 31–40% below, and 20% if more than 40% below. These bands come from Decree No. 43 of 2013, which still applies.
What if my rent is 10.5% below the average?
The decree's bands are in whole percentages (up to 10%, 11–20%, 21–30%…). It doesn't say how a gap such as 10.5% is treated. We count anything over 10% in the next band, which is the most a landlord could argue for. The Dubai Land Department's Smart Rental Index calculator gives the official answer for your building.
What is a normal rent increase in Pakistan?
Many rent agreements include a 10% yearly increase, but it's whatever the written tenancy agreement says.
How much will a 10% yearly increase add up to?
Rs 80,000 rises to Rs 117,128 by year 5, 46% more than now.
