Re: Rent Renewal
PM me your email and I'll send you the letter I sent my LL on a similar issue - he backed down. Here is a section of the letter:
The Landlord has the right to sell the apartment and can ask the tenant to vacate - although to do this correctly the Landlord must give twelve months notice. Please refer to Law No. 33 of 2008
Amending some provisions of Law No. 26 of 2007 Regulating Relationship between Landlords &
Tenants in the Emirate of Dubai:-
Article (25) 2. Landlord may demand eviction of tenant upon expiry of tenancy contract limited to the following cases:
d. If the owner of the property wishes to sell the leased property. And for the purpose of clause (2) of this Article, landlord must notify tenant with reasons for eviction at least twelve months prior to the determined date of eviction subject that such notice be sent through the Notary Public or by registered mail.

Re: Rent Renewal
Recently received a hand-written note from my landlord, along the lines that he's pissed off with the agency and would I be interested in staying. Renewal not till early Feb.
Rera site won't give figures for Al Soufoh: "currently being up-dated, please email metha@rera, which I did only to get an auto-response saying please email hussain@rera, which I've done...
Meanwhile landlord has come back proposing an 18% increase (although I did get it at a very good rate last year).

Re: Rent Renewal
If you do take him to the rent committee (which is what RERA will advise), then you will need to pay the fees upfront (5% of the annual rent). When the rent committee rules in your favour, you will be able to deduct the fees from your next rent cheque.
However, all of that is a mighty pain in the ar*e for a few thousand dirhams a year. I would suggest a compromise, suggest you pay him 65,000 (approx 5% increase which is reasonable IMO)
That way, you get to stay where you want, you don't have the hassle of rent committee meetings and your landlord shouldn't be too annoyed so as to disrupt potential issues with maintenance, etc out of spite for taking him to court.

Re: Rent Renewal
You are all most helpful.
Also, suggestions of paying 65k is something I am seriously considering. I just won't suggest that until I've pointed them to RERA.
I'd pay 65k to stay there and to save hassle, but won't offer that just yet because I'll end up shooting myself in the cock.

The above is a good guide, tells you the %'s
BUT
Kind of useless without the current index price.

Re: Rent Renewal
On beds in Al Sufouh
50000 to 75000 AED per year.
Two beds
75000 to 85000 AED per year.
I guess these will creep up when they finally get around to issuing the 2013 index, but probably not by enough to make a difference
