Overview
Dubai tenants usually want one answer: can the landlord legally raise rent at renewal? Start by checking current annual rent, proposed new rent, estimated market rent, notice timing, and official rental guidance.
Example
If current rent is AED 80,000 and estimated market rent is AED 100,000, the gap is 25%. A simplified estimate may suggest a 10% increase cap, meaning AED 88,000.
