The Dubai Land Department (DLD) has announced the launch of its Smart Rental Index, set to debut in January 2025.

This initiative is designed to enhance transparency, trust, and confidence in Dubai’s real estate market by harnessing advanced technology to benefit landlords, tenants, and investors alike.

Currently, the rental index provides a general estimate of annual property values for tenants and landlords. However, the new Smart Rental Index will offer accurate, real-time data on rental prices and property availability across Dubai, delivering a more precise, user-friendly system.

The Smart Rental Index aims to regulate and advance Dubai’s real estate sector, particularly in rental valuations. By combining reliable, up-to-date data with cutting-edge technology and real estate expertise, the platform provides integrated solutions tailored to meet the needs of all market stakeholders.

This initiative aligns with Dubai’s broader vision of integrating technology to enhance services, improve quality of life, and support sustainable economic development. It marks a significant step toward positioning Dubai as a global leader in tech-driven real estate solutions.

Central to the Smart Rental Index is its emphasis on transparency. By offering landlords, tenants, and investors access to trustworthy and precise rental data, the platform enables better-informed decision-making.

The Smart Rental Index also supports the Dubai Digital Strategy, the Dubai Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033, and the emirate’s long-term goals for sustainability and innovation. It underscores the DLD’s commitment to making Dubai a global hub for cutting-edge real estate solutions.
