How much can a landlord increase rent in Motor City?
Dubai rent increases are capped by Decree No. 43 of 2013. The legal maximum depends on how far your current rent is below the Motor City market average above:
| Your rent vs. market average | Max legal increase |
|---|---|
| Up to 10% below market | 0% (no increase) |
| 11% – 20% below market | Up to 5% |
| 21% – 30% below market | Up to 10% |
| 31% – 40% below market | Up to 15% |
| More than 40% below market | Up to 20% |
Even if an increase is within these limits, your landlord must give you 90 days written notice before renewal. If they miss that window, the increase is void and your contract renews at the existing rent, regardless of the Motor City market rate.
