The announcement
Dubai Land Department reported 1.38 million registered tenancy contracts worth AED 126.4 billion for 2025. The announcement describes year-on-year increases of 6% in contract volume and 17% in value. It also reports 937 projects under construction, a 25% increase, alongside growth in the number of licensed real estate businesses.
RAMRE PERSPECTIVE
What to consider
Emirate-wide totals do not establish the rent for an individual apartment. Compare the same building, property type, size, furnishing and lease terms, and check the applicable official rental information before agreeing a renewal.
