The Hidden Complexity Behind Every Renewal

Every lease renewal in Dubai carries important consequences. For landlords, it’s the difference between steady rental income and costly vacancies. For tenants, it can mean fair treatment or unexpected financial pressure. Yet many renewals are handled without proper guidance — a risky move in Dubai’s regulated rental market.

fäm Property Management’s Contract Renewal Services for Non-Managed Units take the stress out of renewals. We provide a structured, professional process that protects landlords and gives tenants confidence.

Why Dubai Lease Renewals Need Professional Support

Lease renewals are not just routine paperwork — they shape the next 12 months of a tenancy.

• For landlords: Missed or incorrect notices can block rental increases.

• For tenants: Poorly handled renewals can lead to unfair rent adjustments.

• For both: Not renewing Ejari correctly can create major legal and financial problems.

With Dubai’s rules under RERA, professional renewal management is not just helpful — it’s essential.

FAQs

How are lease renewals calculated in Dubai?
They’re based on the Dubai Rental Index, which determines if a landlord can increase rent and by how much.

What is Ejari renewal and why is it required?
Ejari is Dubai’s official tenancy registration. Every lease renewal must be updated in Ejari to remain legally valid.

Can landlords increase rent during renewal?
Yes, but only if the RERA Rental Index permits it. If not, the rent must stay the same.

Do tenants have rights if they disagree with renewal terms?
Yes. Tenants can file a case with the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre (RDSC). Having a professional mediator often prevents disputes from reaching this stage.
