What are the tenant rights under RERA in Dubai?

In Dubai, the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) outlines several important tenant rights, including the right to a safe and habitable living environment, and protection against unjust eviction. A key point to note is that landlords cannot increase rent by more than 20% in a single year, depending on the property’s rental index. Having lived here for over 5 years, I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with these rights to ensure a fair renting experience!
