Purpose of Launching the Smart Rental Index 2025
Dubai Land Department Launches Smart Rental Index 2025
The Smart Rental Index 2025 was designed to provide a smart and precise system for determining rental prices based on real property criteria and location. The platform utilizes advanced technologies such as Big Data, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence to analyze rental contract data and market trends.
Each property in Dubai is evaluated based on:
- Geographic location
- Usage type (residential, commercial, office)
- Year of construction
- Level of facilities and build quality
- Rental trends in the same area
This detailed analysis helps set each property’s rental price relative to the area average, supporting more accurate decision-making for both landlords and tenants.
Benefits of the Smart Rental Index for Dubai’s Real Estate Market
1. Increased transparency in rental transactions:
Tenants and landlords can access up-to-date data, understand actual prices, and avoid potential disputes.
2. Control of rental market fluctuations:
The DLD can identify rising or falling price trends and implement corrective policies when needed.
3. Enhanced user satisfaction:
Transparency and fairness in pricing strengthen trust between landlords and tenants, making the rental experience more user-centric.
4. Integration with other Dubai digital platforms:
The platform connects directly with the official Dubai REST app and other smart government services, allowing users to view rental details, contract renewals, and property valuations in real-time.
Dubai’s Move Toward Digital Transformation in Real Estate
In recent years, DLD has launched multiple projects to fully digitize real estate processes, including the Digital Sale project for online property transactions and the Dubai Real Estate Dashboard for real-time transaction monitoring.
The launch of Smart Rental Index 2025 represents another step toward achieving the vision of Dubai 2030 as the world’s smartest city. The index analyzes thousands of rental contracts registered in the official DLD system, providing a scientific and data-driven basis for rental pricing.
DLD Director General’s Statement
Mr. Sultan Butti Bin Mejren, Director General of DLD, stated during the launch ceremony:
“With the implementation of the Smart Rental Index 2025, we have taken a major step toward transparency, innovation, and fairness in Dubai’s real estate market. This index will serve as a reliable tool for domestic investors and all residents of Dubai in making property-related decisions.”
He also added that the project is part of Dubai’s comprehensive digital transformation strategy across all economic sectors, developed in close collaboration with technology authorities such as the Digital Dubai Authority.
Impact of the New Index on Real Estate Investment in Dubai
Market experts believe that the system will positively affect rental market stability and increase the attractiveness of real estate investment in Dubai. International investors, particularly in long-term rentals, can now make decisions with greater confidence regarding property returns.
