Is it legal for Dubai landlords to charge different rents to tenants in the same building based on the number of cheque payments?

Yes — as long as the rent stated in the tenancy contract complies with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) rental index and the limits under Decree No. 43 of 2013, landlords may offer lower rent for fewer instalments or charge slightly higher rent for multiple cheques, since the law does not require identical rent for similar units; tenants can always verify price fairness using the DLD rental calculator. What do you think — should rents be standardised for all tenants, or is it fair for landlords to adjust prices based on payment flexibility?
