Description
The RERA Rental Index is an official database maintained by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency that provides benchmark rental values for properties across Dubai. It categorises average market rents by community, building, unit type, and size. The index is the legal reference point for determining whether a landlord can increase rent at renewal and by how much, using the tiered cap system (0% to 20% based on the gap between current and market rent).
The index is populated using actual Ejari-registered tenancy data, making it reflective of real market conditions. Landlords and tenants can access the RERA Rental Calculator on the DLD website or Dubai REST app by entering their property details. The calculator shows the market average rent and the maximum permissible increase. If the current rent is within 10% of the index value, no increase is allowed.
Oliva 如何运用
Oliva integrates RERA Rental Index data to show investors how current rents compare to market benchmarks for each property, helping quantify loss-to-lease and project realistic income growth based on the tiered cap system.
How to interpret
The Rental Index is your primary tool for understanding whether your current rent is at market, above market, or below market, and what you can do about it at renewal. Check it before eparticularly lease renewal, not just when you plan to increase rent. If you are already at or above the index, attempting an increase will be rejected and may strain your tenant relationship unnecessarily.
For buyers evaluating a tenanted property, run the current rent against the Rental Index before making an offer. A significant loss-to-lease position is a negotiating point: the property is worth less today than its stabilized value because the income cannot be realized until the gap closes through successive capped renewals.
迪拜市场背景
The Rental Index underpins the entire rent review framework in Dubai and is the document that the RDC references in rental increase disputes. Its accuracy depends on the volume and recency of Ejari registrations in each area. In fast-moving submarkets, the index can lag actual transaction prices by one to two quarters, which both landlords and tenants should factor into any dispute about what constitutes market rent.
