Registered rent contracts, asking rents and rental yields — for landlords, investors and tenants.
Rent calculator
Starts from what tenants are signing right now in your cluster (Property Monitor registered contracts), then adjusts for your home's size, position, view, condition and terms. Every step is shown.
Starting rent: Property Monitor registered contracts, last 3 months. Range: the spread of real leases registered with the Dubai Land Department for this cluster and size. Position, view, condition, garden, pool, furnishing and payment adjustments are market-practice estimates, not measured data. Every home is different — for an exact figure, ask for a rental valuation.
Average annual rent this month — what tenants actually sign (registered contracts) vs what landlords ask.

Current annual rent — Property Monitor registered contracts, average of the last 3 months (Jul–Sep 2026) — and gross yield against recent sale prices. ≈ = too few recent leases for that size, so similar clusters (villa or townhouse) are used; clusters not yet handed over show a projected yield.
Typical monthly rent vs a mortgage on a typical home (20% down, 4.5%, 25 years). Change assumptions in the Buyer Hub.
Every lease must be registered on Ejari — needed for DEWA, visas and school enrolment.
Increases at renewal are capped by the RERA Rental Index for the area, with 90 days' written notice.
Typically 5% of annual rent for unfurnished villas, refundable at move-out less any damage.
Rent is usually paid in 1–4 post-dated cheques; fewer cheques often buys a lower rent.
Landlords need 12 months' notice by notary or registered mail to reclaim for own use or sale.
Paid by the owner, not the tenant. Tenants pay DEWA, district cooling (if any) and internet.
