Dubai caps rent increases by law (Decree 43). Enter two numbers and see the maximum your landlord can charge — and whether their demand is allowed.
A landlord must tell you in writing at least 90 days before the lease ends if they want to change the rent. No notice = renewal on the same terms.
Rent can't be raised during your first year in a property, regardless of the index.
To evict for sale or personal use, the landlord must give 12 months' notice via notary or registered mail. Disputes go to the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre (RDSC).
You can reject it and, if needed, file at the RDSC for a small fee. The legal cap stands regardless of what the contract says.
