Dubai Rental Index
Get the rent-increase and market-rent result from Dubai Land Department (DLD). This page does not calculate, copy, or approximate the official result.
No local estimate is available
UAE Calculator has not integrated an authorised DLD Rental Index response contract. No amount, increase percentage, “allowed” rent, or legal conclusion is produced here.

What to have ready
DLD’s service page says the customer enters contract and property information before viewing the result. Depending on the property category and search path, the official form may request different identifiers or details.
- Tenancy-contract expiry date
- Property type
- The identifiers or property details requested by the selected DLD search path
- Current annual rent
Follow the fields and instructions shown by DLD. This checklist is not a substitute for the official form.
Why a community average is not enough
DLD describes the Smart Rental Index as using a building-classification system and criteria including technical and structural characteristics, finishes and maintenance, location, and services and facilities. A manually stored neighbourhood average cannot reproduce that official result.
For that reason, the former UAE Calculator community table and local rent-increase tiers have been withdrawn instead of being presented as “RERA” data.

Frequently asked questions
Does UAE Calculator return a rent-increase result?
No. It returns no amount or percentage. Open DLD’s official Rental Index for the result.
Can I use a listing or community average instead?
Do not treat a broad market average as the official DLD result. The official index uses more specific criteria and its current form controls the required inputs.
Where can I read the underlying decree?
