The stability of the real estate market and a higher degree of operational maturity are reflected in Dubai’s rental sector’s impressive performance throughout 2025. Increased demand, a variety of residential options, and clarity in the legislative frameworks controlling relationships among all stakeholders were the main drivers of this performance.
A measure of the market’s health and the ongoing momentum of residential and commercial activity, registered tenancy contracts saw a 6% increase in volume and a 17% increase in value compared to 2024, reaching 1.38 million contracts with a total value of Dhs126.4 billion, according to data released by the Dubai Land Department.
Due to Dubai’s high demand as a place to live and work, the number of new tenancy contracts increased by 10% to over 513,000. Higher levels of stability and customer satisfaction are evident from the 3% rise in renewed tenancy contracts to over 514,000.
The Dubai Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033, which seeks to create a sustainable market based on a balance between ownership and renting, clear regulatory frameworks, and an improved customer experience, and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which focuses on improving quality of life and solidifying Dubai’s position as a global destination to live, work, and invest, are both clearly in line with this balanced rental performance.
