Subject: Renewal rent increase calculation request
Hello, thank you for sharing the proposed renewal rent. Before I confirm, please send the calculation basis for the proposed increase, including the rental index result used, current rent, proposed rent, renewal date, and notice date. I would like to compare the calculation with the tenancy contract and applicable rental index result before responding.
Regards,
Your name
Fields to fill in
- Current annual rent in AED.
- Proposed annual rent in AED.
- Renewal date and notice date.
- Rental index result or source used by the landlord or agent.
What to attach or save
- Tenancy contract and Ejari details.
- Landlord notice or agent message.
- Rental index screenshot or reference.
- Your calculator estimate and notes.
Build an Evidence Packet Before You Reply
Do not send a naked "please explain" message if the numbers already look wrong. Put the rent increase notice, official rental index result, calculator estimate, and reply draft in one packet so the next conversation starts with documents, not vibes with rent attached.
- Save the current annual rent and proposed annual rent as separate figures.
- Record the renewal date, notice date, and date you checked the official rental index.
- Keep the exact property inputs used in the rental index check.
- Attach the reply template only after the numbers and dates are written down.
Use the rental index evidence worksheet and rent dispute evidence log if the landlord or agent keeps pushing an unexplained figure.
Save the evidence before sending
Before sending the reply, save the tenancy contract, renewal date, landlord notice, current rent, proposed rent, rental index result, calculator estimate, and the exact message you send. If the numbers still do not match after the reply, move the same files into the rent dispute evidence checklist.
