Is this rent at or below what new tenants actually signed?

Pick the building, the bedrooms and the yearly rent. We compare it with the latest five new leases signed there, from Dubai Land Department records.

How the check works

  • Same building, same number of bedrooms.
  • New leases only. Renewals are left out: rent rises for renewing tenants are capped by law, so they show last year's agreement, not today's market.
  • The latest five leases that started in the last six months. Older leases overstate today's rents while rents are falling.
  • When you give the size, leases within 15% of it are used if there are five of them.
  • The figure is the middle of the five rents, so one unusual lease cannot move it. Several flats leased by one company on one day at one rent count once.

Urgent rentals on distress.ae are listed by agents with a Trakheesi permit, at or below this figure. Run the check before applying for the permit: the permit carries the price.
