DLD-verified rent index

Dubai rent prices by area (2025–2026)

What people actually 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. “—” = 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.
