DLD rent index

Dubai rent prices by area (2025–2026)

What people pay, not asking prices. Every figure below is computed from new residential tenancy contracts registered with the Dubai Land Department (2025–2026, as of May 2026). The headline number is the median; underneath is the typical band (25th–75th percentile). No listing inflation, no agent spin.

Renewals are typically cheaper than these new-contract figures, and your exact building and floor matter. Treat these as the honest baseline for negotiation, not a quote.

Median (large) over typical band (small), AED per year. “n/a” = too few registered contracts to publish a reliable band. DLD groups townhouses under “villa”, so that column is a typical 3–4 bed including townhouses. Source: Dubai Land Department, 2025–2026, as of May 2026.

Rent is only half the decision.
