Know if you're charging the right rent

UAE rental law caps how much you can increase rent at renewal, but only if your current rent is already above the RERA market benchmark. If it's below market, you can increase (up to 20% in a single step for rents significantly below market). If it's above market, you may face pressure from your tenant to reduce. Knowing where you stand before you start the renewal conversation is not optional. It's how you get the right outcome.

DOSH checks live rental listings in your property's area and tells you the current market minimum, average, and maximum for comparable units. It then shows you exactly where your rent sits on that range, and what that means for your renewal position. You walk in knowing whether to hold firm, negotiate up, or expect a push-back.

A typical scenario: Your lease for a 2-bedroom in JBR is expiring. You're charging AED 120,000, but you haven't checked the market in 18 months. Before the renewal discussion, you run a market check in DOSH. Market average is AED 108,000. Your rent is 11% above market, which under RERA rules means you cannot legally increase it further. But you can also confidently hold your ground if the tenant tries to negotiate down. One 30-second check, and you enter the conversation in control.
