Rent increase result

Your selected case

  • Current annual rent: AED 80,000.00
  • Proposed annual rent: AED 88,000.00
  • Mode: Compare only

Proposed increase amount: AED 8,000.00

Proposed increase percentage: 10%

Compare-only mode does not calculate maximum permitted rent.

Next best action

  • If above estimated limit, request index support and written clarification.
  • If within estimated limit, review notice timing and contract terms.
  • Verify final permitted increase using official DLD Rental Index.

This uses user-entered DLD values and is not an official UAEReady decision. Final permitted increase should be verified through the official DLD Rental Index.

Practical notes

  • Mode 1 compares proposal only and does not calculate a permitted cap.
  • Mode 2 uses your DLD-permitted increase percentage input.
  • Mode 3 uses your DLD average market rent input and published rent-gap brackets.
