Dubai to release Property Index with a view to curb high rentals
Sunday, January 13, 2008
A new property index will soon be released in Dubai, which would be of help in establishing appropriate rents for properties in the emirate, so as to control the shooting rental prices.
The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), has said that the new index would come into effect from 15th of this month, setting up the minimum and maximum chargeable rents for properties in particular developments.
With the introduction of property index, the landlords are left with no choice but to set rents within the stipulated limits. The tenants and those in the look out for rentals, will also be benefitted as it will serve as a guide to ensure that they are not being overcharged. Any complaints thereafter could be then reported to the rental dispute committee.
Dubai has issued an annual rent cap of 5% for 2008, which is lesser in comparison to the 7% capping of 2007.
