1. What is the RERA Rent Increase Calculator?

The RERA Rent Increase Calculator helps landlords and tenants determine the maximum allowable rent increase in Dubai according to the guidelines set by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA). It calculates the new rent based on the current rent and the applicable increase percentage.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{New Rent} = \text{Old Rent} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Rate}}{100}\right) \]

Where:

Old Rent — Current rental amount in AED
Rate — Percentage increase allowed by RERA

Explanation: The formula calculates the new rent by applying the percentage increase to the old rent amount.

3. Dubai RERA Rent Increase Guidelines

Details: RERA sets maximum rent increase percentages based on how much the current rent compares to average market rents:

10% increase if current rent is 21-30% below market rate
15% increase if current rent is 31-40% below market rate
20% increase if current rent is more than 40% below market rate
No increase allowed if current rent is within 10% of market rate
