Your landlord has raised the rent or served notice to vacate. Upload it today and a UAE-licensed lawyer tells you whether it is legal under Dubai's rent laws, what the RERA calculator actually allows, and exactly how to respond.
Our panel includes counsel who have advised UAE groups including Danube and Union Co-op.
- Vetted UAE-licensed legal professionals
- Fixed fee published before you pay
- Secure card payment, processed by Stripe
- Full refund if we cannot help
What you get
- One document, read by a UAE-licensed lawyer
- A straight answer the same working day
- The specific risks, in plain English or Arabic
- What to do next, and what it would cost
What this is not
- No consultation call is included
- No drafting, negotiation or filing
- No representation before any authority or court
If the check shows you need more than this, we say so plainly and quote the fixed fee for it before any further work begins. Nothing starts without your approval.
Why this costs less than a firm
- A fixed fee, never billable hours
- You buy a defined output at a price agreed before we start. Nobody is running a clock against your file.
- The same work, run on tested UAE playbooks
- Standard UAE matters repeat. Our counsel run them on drafting standards refined across hundreds of files, so the same quality takes a fraction of the hours a firm bills.
- No retainers, no partner overhead
- There is no DIFC tower, no billing department and no minimum engagement to fund. You are not paying for a cost base you never see.
- Protected by the refund promise
- Full refund if a UAE-licensed lawyer has not started within 10 minutes in staffed hours, and a full refund if we sold you the wrong service.
Where this applies
Dubai Land Department, RERA rental index and Decree 43, Ejari registration and the Rental Dispute Centre.
Buy this if: Your landlord has raised the rent or served notice to vacate and you need to know today whether it is legal.
In Dubai, specifically
- Mainland, free zone or DIFC
- The answer changes depending on whether you are mainland (DED), free zone or DIFC/ADGM, so the check tells you which regime your document actually sits in before it tells you what to fix. If the check shows you need the full service, we say so plainly and credit what you paid.
- The clock that is already running
- Most people run a quick check the day before they sign, publish, pay or reply. In the UAE the deadlines are short: a legal notice usually carries a response window measured in days, a settlement is hard to reopen once signed, and a published page is already live evidence. A same-day read costs less than a same-week fix.
- Language
- Your counsel works in English and Arabic. Arabic is the language of the UAE courts and most government filings, so anything needing legal translation, notarisation or MOFA attestation is identified and priced before work starts — never sprung on you later.
- You do not need to be in Dubai
- Handled entirely remotely. No office visit, no residency and no physical presence in the UAE required. Where UAE law allows it, signing and notarisation are completed remotely through the Dubai Courts notary. We work across time zones and outside 9 to 5, including Fridays and the shorter Ramadan working day.
- What this costs elsewhere in Dubai
- The Dubai norm is an hourly rate of AED 1,200 to AED 3,500, a retainer up front, and a consultation fee before anyone has read your document. Here the fee is fixed in advance, quoted in full, and covers the deliverable named on this page. There is no billable clock running against you.
- Paying from anywhere
- Priced and charged in AED. International Visa, Mastercard and Amex accepted, along with Apple Pay and Google Pay. No UAE bank account, no IBAN transfer and no cash office visit required.
What lands in your inbox
- First-pass read of your notice, Ejari and tenancy contract
- The increase checked against the RERA rental index and the 5-105% caps
- Whether the 90-day notice and the 12-month eviction rules were followed
- Whether the stated eviction ground is one Dubai law accepts
Sample deliverable
A redacted page from a real matter. No email required.
Four guarantees
Full refund, including for quality
If we start late, deliver late, or the work is not up to the standard published on this page, the full professional fee is refunded. You do not argue for it.
Counsel Standard or refund
Counsel meeting every published standard is assigned within 10 minutes of payment, or you are refunded in full.
Right-Service
If the service you selected is unsuitable or unnecessary, we tell you before starting and refund or transfer the payment to the correct service.
No-Wasted-Fee
The fee for an initial review is credited in full toward the related negotiation, drafting, dispute, diligence or transaction instruction.
If this is you
- Your landlord wants far more than last year and renewal is weeks away.
- You were told to leave and you do not know if the notice is even valid.
- You do not want a dispute; you want to know what you are legally required to accept.
The cost of waiting
Dubai gives a landlord and a tenant fixed windows: an increase or eviction generally needs 90 days' notice before renewal, and eviction on landlord use or sale needs 12 months' notarised notice. Miss the window to object and an increase you never had to pay becomes the rent you agreed to.
You will receive
- First-pass read of your notice, Ejari and tenancy contract
- The increase checked against the RERA rental index and the 5-105% caps
- Whether the 90-day notice and the 12-month eviction rules were followed
- Whether the stated eviction ground is one Dubai law accepts
- Your options: hold, negotiate, or file at the Rental Dispute Centre

AED 1,950Before you buy
- Is this the full service?
- No, and we will not pretend otherwise. This is a paid first-pass read so you know exactly where you stand today. If you need drafting, negotiation or representation afterwards, we tell you which service that is and quote the fixed fee before anything starts.
- Can my landlord really raise it by that much?
- Only within the RERA rental index bands, which cap increases between 0% and 20% depending on how far below market your current rent sits. We run your actual figures through the index and tell you the maximum lawful number.
- Will this start a fight with my landlord?
- No. Nothing is sent on your behalf. You get a private read of your position, and if it helps, the wording to reply calmly and correctly yourself.
- Do I need to go to the Rental Dispute Centre?
- Usually not. Most increases are resolved once the landlord is shown the index position in writing. If a filing is genuinely the right route, we tell you the RDC fee, the timeline and what it takes to win.
- Is the price really fixed?
- Yes. The fee you see is the fee you pay for the scope written on this page. If your matter turns out to need something outside that scope, we tell you the price before any further work starts.
- Who actually handles my matter?
- A vetted, UAE-licensed legal professional experienced in this exact type of matter. You are given their name, not a ticket number.
- What if I picked the wrong service?
- We move you to the right one. If it costs less, the difference is refunded. If it costs more, you decide before anything is charged.
- What if nobody contacts me in 10 minutes?
- Your service fee is refunded. The clock starts the moment your payment is confirmed and it is recorded against your reference number.
