When a tenant renews or a new one moves in, the rent you start from is no longer a blank page. ADREC's release dated 3 June 2026 said the rental increase percentage had been updated from 5% to 0% per annum, for a temporary short period and until further notice, and that all lease renewals and new agreements will reference the rental rate in the property's last registered Tawtheeq contract. So the practical starting point is that last registered contract. Retrieve it, note the registered annual rent and plan your budget around that figure. Before advertising, ask ADREC how the measure applies to your specific unit and whether the position has changed. Keep every future registration accurate too, because it becomes the reference next time. Prepared by Masterpiece Property.
