Median yearly rent agreed on new tenancies. Renewals are not counted.

Ejari rents are complete through 31 Mar 2026, so later quarters are not used yet.

Updated with each nightly build. Rents complete through 31 Mar 2026. Published 14 Oct 2026.

How this is measured

We take the median yearly rent of new Ejari tenancies in each area over the last four complete quarters, for homes let as a flat, studio or villa. Renewals are left out. Contracts covering several properties or with an implausible floor area are left out and counted. Rent coverage

What this does not tell you

  • These are rents agreed on new tenancies. They are not asking rents on listing sites, and not what sitting tenants pay after a renewal.
  • Homes with the same bedroom count differ in size, so a lower rent can mean a smaller home.

These figures describe registered sales and rents. They are not advice on what to buy or rent.
