<\/strong>Annual increases on all new and existing residential and commercial lease contracts in the capital\u2019s urban area have been suspended for five years starting Thursday, 25 September, according to the new regs. Landlords will be barred from raising agreed rents during this period, with REGA able to extend the measure to other cities subject to higher approval.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There are exceptions: <\/strong>Landlords can contest the mandated fixed rental value when a property has undergone major renovations that alter its value or if the last lease ended before 2024. Meanwhile, rents for previously leased vacant properties will be fixed at the value of the last contract, while rates for residential and commercial units that have never been leased will be set through mutual agreement between landlord and tenant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Rental contracts Kingdom-wide will now be renewed automatically<\/strong>, unless either party provides at least 60 days\u2019 notice of non-renewal. For properties in Riyadh, a landlord can only refuse renewal and require a tenant to vacate in three cases: a tenant\u2019s failure to pay, certified structural defects that endanger safety, or the landlord's need for the property for personal use or for a first-degree relative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Going fully digital: <\/strong>All rental contracts must now be recorded on the Ejar electronic platform. While landlords are required to register contracts, tenants also have the right to do so. Once a contract is submitted, the other party has 60 days to raise objections with REGA. If none are filed, the contract is considered valid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Penalties, appeals, and whistleblower incentives:<\/strong> Violators of these regulations will face fines of up to 12 months\u2019 rent, be required to correct the violation, and compensate the affected party. Those fined can appeal the decision within 30 days. A reward of up to 20% of the collected fine will be given to those who report violations that lead to a confirmed penalty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">STATE OF THE MARKET-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The regulation is seen as \u201ca welcome move\u201d to help bridge the gulf between affordability <\/strong><strong>and current market rates<\/strong>, Faisal Durrani of Knight Frank told <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-09-25\/saudi-arabia-orders-freeze-on-rents-in-riyadh-after-price-surge\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a>.

Khattar explained the short- and long-term effects on prices and supply, the different market dynamics across the Kingdom\u2019s major cities, the evolving future of the luxury real estate segment, and the strategic goals behind the new policies. <strong>Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"border-right-style:solid;padding:0;margin:0;border-top-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;line-height:1.15;border-left-width:0pt;border-top-style:solid;border-left-style:solid;border-bottom-width:0pt;border-bottom-style:solid;text-align:left\"><strong>To understand the Saudi real estate market, you have to look at each city individually.<\/strong> Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, and the Eastern Province are all separate markets, each with its own variables, supply-and-demand dynamics, and economic drivers. The recent fees on undeveloped white lands \u2014 ranging from 2.5-10% \u2014 began in Riyadh, making it the primary case study for the immediate impact of these new policies. These decisions are not random; they are based on careful analysis of price indicators and supply-and-demand metrics in recent years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"border-right-style:solid;padding:0;margin:0;border-top-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;line-height:1.15;border-left-width:0pt;border-top-style:solid;border-left-style:solid;border-bottom-width:0pt;border-bottom-style:solid;text-align:left\"><strong>Government intervention was necessary to correct years of inflation in prices<\/strong>. Over the past three years, we witnessed a significant rise in the price of land, which in turn drove up sales and rental prices for residential, office, and retail properties, with some rental prices jumping by 100-150%. This was compounded by rising interest rates, making homeownership even more difficult for citizens. In the hospitality sector, a surge in tourism and major events in cities like Riyadh increased pressure on hotels, raising the average daily rate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"border-right-style:solid;padding:0;margin:0;border-top-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;line-height:1.15;border-left-width:0pt;border-top-style:solid;border-left-style:solid;border-bottom-width:0pt;border-bottom-style:solid;text-align:left\"><strong>This created a negative impact on customers<\/strong>, whether it was a Saudi citizen looking to rent or buy a home, or a business owner seeking commercial space. The government\u2019s intervention was designed to achieve two main goals: first, to increase the supply of available land in order to bring down prices, and second, to motivate landowners and developers to actively develop their plots rather than leaving them vacant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"border-right-style:solid;padding:0;margin:0;border-top-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;line-height:1.15;border-left-width:0pt;border-top-style:solid;border-left-style:solid;border-bottom-width:0pt;border-bottom-style:solid;text-align:left\"><strong>The impact of the new fees on land prices was immediate.<\/strong> We\u2019ve seen swift results in the few weeks since the decision. Landowners, facing the prospect of significant fees, are now actively seeking to sell, lease, or enter into partnerships to develop their holdings. This has successfully increased the supply of land on the market and has already led to a slight decrease in prices, which we expect to become more pronounced after the first tax invoices are issued. For developers, this has created a period of filtration and negotiation; they are becoming more selective about the projects they take on. <\/p>\n<p style=\"border-right-style:solid;padding:0;margin:0;border-top-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;line-height:1.15;border-left-width:0pt;border-top-style:solid;border-left-style:solid;border-bottom-width:0pt;border-bottom-style:solid;text-align:left\"><strong>BUT- <\/strong>The impact on other real estate products \u2014 in terms of buying or renting apartments and offices \u2014 will likely not be felt for another one to three years, as these development projects take time to complete. The market will only see a significant price correction when the supply of new units begins to outpace demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"border-right-style:solid;padding:0;margin:0;border-top-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;line-height:1.15;border-left-width:0pt;border-top-style:solid;border-left-style:solid;border-bottom-width:0pt;border-bottom-style:solid;text-align:left\"><strong>The Tawazuon platform is a strategic tool to support Riyadh's population growth.<\/strong> The plan to offer 10k-40k plots of land annually through the platform is aimed at lower-to-middle income individuals who do not own property and have resided in Riyadh for at least three years. This isn't just about providing affordable land \u2014 it's a strategic move to encourage internal migration and support the plan to grow Riyadh's population to 12-15 mn. By providing an asset they can develop over the long term, it helps anchor a key segment of the population in the capital, aligning with the city's central role in the Kingdom's future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"border-right-style:solid;padding:0;margin:0;border-top-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;line-height:1.15;border-left-width:0pt;border-top-style:solid;border-left-style:solid;border-bottom-width:0pt;border-bottom-style:solid;text-align:left\"><strong>I disagree with the idea that development in the Kingdom is imbalanced<\/strong>, as the focus on Riyadh is a logical step to address its unique challenges. Riyadh is the capital and represents nearly a third of the country's population. Riyadh was previously underdeveloped compared to other cities; its airport, for example, hadn't been upgraded in 30 years. The current focus is a form of catch-up designed to transform the capital into a hub for business and tourism. Other regions have their own distinct economic engines \u2014 think Aramco in the Eastern Province, or Hajj, Umrah, and tourism in the west. So the strategy is tailored and flexible, not uneven.<\/p>\n<p style=\"border-right-style:solid;padding:0;margin:0;border-top-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;line-height:1.15;border-left-width:0pt;border-top-style:solid;border-left-style:solid;border-bottom-width:0pt;border-bottom-style:solid;text-align:left\"><strong>Another key reform is allowing foreign ownership, which is expected to attract two distinct types of international <\/strong><strong>buyers.<\/strong> The first segment is the global Muslim population of over 1.5 bn, for whom Saudi Arabia is a prime religious destination. Their focus will naturally be on Makkah and Madinah, which will significantly energize the market there and, to a lesser extent, in Jeddah due to its proximity and the Haramain tailway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"border-right-style:solid;padding:0;margin:0;border-top-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;line-height:1.15;border-left-width:0pt;border-top-style:solid;border-left-style:solid;border-bottom-width:0pt;border-bottom-style:solid;text-align:left\"><strong>The second segment consists of international investors<\/strong>, similar to those we see in Dubai or Bahrain, who will be drawn to the Kingdom\u2019s gigaprojects like Diriyah, New Murabba, and Neom for investment returns. It is crucial to manage this carefully to avoid inflating prices for Saudi citizens. Any price appreciation will likely be focused on the luxury, Class-A segment, not affordable housing. This policy will also incentivize Saudi developers to create high-quality projects that meet international standards to compete for these buyers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"border-right-style:solid;padding:0;margin:0;border-top-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;line-height:1.15;border-left-width:0pt;border-top-style:solid;border-left-style:solid;border-bottom-width:0pt;border-bottom-style:solid;text-align:left\"><strong>Speaking of the luxury sector, the definition of luxury in the Kingdom is shifting from size to community and lifestyle<\/strong>. Luxury used to be defined almost exclusively by size \u2014 a 5k sqm villa or a 20k sqm palace. Today, and going forward, true luxury will be defined by being part of a high-end, integrated community that offers lifestyle, services, and amenities. A luxury tower built in a random location will no longer be considered a premium product. Instead, the luxury market will be concentrated within master-planned gigaprojects Diriyah, New Murabba, and King Salman Park in Riyadh, and projects like Masar Destination in Makkah. This shift reflects the changing preferences of a new generation and will be the new standard for luxury real estate.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID}
