Straight answers on the rules that actually cost you money — rent increases, notices, deposits, Ejari and yield — written for owners, not lawyers. No signup required.
A plain-English read on where Dubai prices are moving, refreshed monthly from Dubai Land Department sales data.
Read the latest update →Dubai caps how much rent can rise at renewal. The cap depends entirely on how far your current rent sits below the market reference for your building.
Rent & renewalsThe increase itself is only half the job. Serving the notice properly — and on time — is what makes it stick.
Notices & disputesYou cannot simply decline to renew. Dubai law restricts end-of-tenancy eviction to four specific grounds — each with its own conditions.
Costs & moneyThe deposit is the tenant’s money that you hold. Returning it correctly — and documenting any deductions — is what keeps you out of a dispute.
Leases & documentsEjari is the official record that a tenancy exists. Without it, a lot of the rest of the system simply doesn’t work.
Costs & moneyThe rent cheque is not your return. Service charges and other costs sit between gross and net — and they are bigger than most owners assume.
Notices & disputesWhen a rent, eviction or deposit disagreement can’t be settled between landlord and tenant, the RDC is the venue. Here’s how it works and what it costs.
Leases & documentsA tenancy is not really live until the power and water are on. Knowing how the DEWA move-in works keeps handover smooth and avoids surprises on both sides.
Costs & moneyOwn — or plan to own — AED 2 million of Dubai property, and you may qualify for a 10-year renewable residence visa. Here’s what actually counts.
Leases & documentsA clean handover protects the deposit decision, gets the unit back to market faster, and closes the tenancy without loose ends.
Rent & renewalsSince January 2025, "market rent" in Dubai is no longer an area average — it is a value assigned to your specific building. That changes how every renewal negotiation starts.
Leases & documentsUntil an off-plan unit is handed over, you don’t hold a title deed — you hold an Oqood. Knowing the difference protects both your money and your paperwork.
