The rental calculator by the Dubai Land Department’s Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) has just been updated to provide the leasing rates for various apartments and villas in 2016.
The calculator, which serves as an online tool for determining rental increases, suggests some price ranges and advises tenants whether or not they are entitled to an increase this year.
A quick review by Gulf News of the latest data shows that the leasing rates for one-bedroom apartments in 2016 have dropped by at least 2.3 per cent to as much as 14 per cent.
Compared to the prevailing rates in July 2015, one-bedroom flats in International City, Discovery Gardens, Jumeirah Village, Greens, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residence and Palm Jumeirah are now generally cheaper.
Apartments in Business Bay and Downtown, however, have gone up by 2.7 per cent and 2.4 per cent on average, respectively. Rents in some communities, including Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) remain unchanged at Dh75,000 to Dh 95,000 a year.
According to the rental calculator, the rent for a one-bedroom residential unit in Discovery Gardens is now in the range of Dh60,000 to Dh75,000, up 3.5 per cent from July’s rates of between Dh65,000 and Dh 75,000.
In International City, annual rates range between Dh 38,000 and Dh45,000, about 14 per cent cheaper compared to Dh42,000 to Dh55,000 last year.
