How much can my land lord put my rental up by. I moved in to the villa Dec 2010?
The permitted rent increases are as follows:
a. If the rent was 26% to 35% less than the average similar rent, the maximum rent increase is 5% of the rent.
b. If the rent was 36% to 45% less than the average similar rent, the maximum rent increase is 10% of the rent.
c. If the rent was 46% to 55% less than the average similar rent, the maximum rent increase is 15% of the rent.
d. If the rent was 46% to 55% less than the average similar rent, the maximum rent increase is 20% of the rent.
The ‘average similar rent’ is determined by the Rent Index of the Emirates of Dubai which is approved by RERA which reviews and updates the Rent Index of the Emirates of Dubai periodically.
