In Dubai, no. The increase is capped, and the cap is a formula rather than a preference. It is set by how far the current rent sits below the market average, and it requires ninety days of notice.

Thirty seconds on where the number comes from, why anyone can check it, and what the strongest operators do before they issue a notice.

General information only, not legal advice. For your own tenancy, check the RERA calculator on the Dubai Land Department platform, or contact the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre.
