That loophole is why rents on new contracts had been racing far ahead of what sitting tenants pay, and why headline figures like 15-20% annual increases were possible in a market nominally protected by a 5% rule.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This freeze closes that gap.<\/strong> Under the new measure, any new tenancy contract on a previously rented unit must also be offered at the same price as the preceding contract \u2014 effectively extending the 0% increase rule to incoming tenants as well as renewals. For the first time, Abu Dhabi landlords cannot use vacancy as a mechanism to reset to market rates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The move lands as the UAE property market navigates a sharply more cautious climate.<\/strong> The US-Iran war has somewhat slowed down activity in the property market over the past few months, with analysts telling us many investors and buyers <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2026\/04\/08\/abu-dhabis-property-market-sees-strong-growth-in-1q-2026-but-the-war-is-threatening-a-fragile-supply-pipeline\/\" style=\"\">are \u201cpausing\u201d to take stock<\/a> \u2014 though not completely dismissing the market, given strong fundamentals and demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Before that, Abu Dhabi landlords were enjoying double-digit rental growth for several quarters on end. <\/strong>Apartment rents were up 15% y-o-y in 1Q 2026, with some mid-end developments posting increases above 20%, while villa rents rose 6% annually, according to Colliers\u2019 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/6\/141.pdf\" style=\"\">UAE real estate report (pdf)<\/a>. Office rents across prime business districts also climbed between 8% and 20% y-o-y as occupancy levels stayed above 95%.<\/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\">Positive impact expected?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The <\/strong><strong>move is \u201cone of the most significant real estate regulatory interventions in recent years<\/strong>,\u201d Andrew Laver, director of commercial valuation and head of Abu Dhabi at Cavendish Maxwell, tells EnterpriseAM. \u201cThe decision appears to reflect a broader, strategic response aimed at preserving long-term market stability,\u201d he says, explaining that it\u2019s unlikely it was triggered by a single event.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Given the strong growth in the emirate\u2019s property market over the past two years, the freeze is likely a \u201cproactive measure to stabilize<\/strong> <strong>momentum<\/strong> and reinforce the emirate\u2019s economic resilience,\u201d he explains. \u201cBy intervening at this stage, authorities are effectively ensuring that growth remains sustainable and does not undermine affordability or demand fundamentals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The timing is also meaningful: <\/strong>It introduces greater certainty for tenants at a time of heightened geopolitical and economic uncertainty, particularly as rent remains one of the highest costs for both households and businesses, he adds. While the freeze may temporarily limit landlords\u2019 ability to grow income, he says it could also encourage stronger tenant retention and provide investors with clearer visibility on near-term cashflows and income profiles. \u201cIt reinforces confidence that the sector is being actively managed, with safeguards in place to protect both occupiers and investors,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Long-term, the move will \u201cenhance Abu Dhabi\u2019s appeal as a long-term destination for residents<\/strong>, businesses, and capital,\u201d he says. <\/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\">We have a (recent) precedent<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Neighboring Riyadh <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2025\/12\/31\/the-big-reform\/\" style=\"\">implemented<\/a><\/strong><strong> a rent freeze on both new and existing contracts last year <\/strong>in a bid to

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>At the time, Knight Frank\u2019s Faisal Durrani said the rent freeze strengthens the market by shielding it
