Ejari Renewal and Rent Increase in Dubai

Plain-English guide to Ejari renewal, rent increase checks, and what tenants should review before signing a new Dubai tenancy contract.

Why Ejari matters

Ejari is the formal rental registration system in Dubai. For renewal, tenants should make sure the contract details, annual rent, property details, and parties match before agreeing to a new amount.

Before signing renewal

  • Run the rent increase calculator.
  • Check official rental index guidance.
  • Confirm notice timing.
  • Compare proposed rent with similar properties.
  • Keep a written record of all negotiations.

When to dispute

If the increase appears outside the allowed range or notice timing seems wrong, gather evidence before filing a rental dispute. Do not rely on a calculator alone.
