What the leases say about JLT
9,603 Ejari leases 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026, and 2,920 adverts. Each finding has its chart below.
- New 1-bed rents fell 6.0% this year, like for like. Median new 1-bed: AED 84,000 in 2024, AED 85,000 in 2025, AED 80,000 in 2026 (1 Jan–15 Oct each year). Dubai, like for like: −5.4%. The table above (AED 83,000) covers the 12 months to 15 Oct 2026.
- Renewing costs about the same as moving. We compare homes in the same building, with the same bedrooms and a size within 15%. New and renewing tenants pay within 1% of each other. This uses 58 matched groups and 1,168 renewals.
- Adverts ask 1% under signed. A 1-bed advert asks AED 101 a sq ft; the 2,209 new 1-bed leases of 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026 were signed at AED 102. Recent tenants signed for more than adverts ask now, so an advert at the asking price is not dear here.
- Cheapest 1-bed for its size: Palladium, AED 82 a sq ft, the median of its 16 1-bed leases (typical rent AED 81,000). The median 1-bed lease in JLT is AED 99 a sq ft.
- Same size for less nearby: a new 1-bed in Dubai Sports City, 7 km away, costs AED 60,000 for 796 sq ft. That is AED 23,000 a year less than in JLT.
Finding
New 1-bed rents fell 6.0% this year, like for like in JLT.
Median rent on new leases, 1 Jan–15 Oct of 2024, 2025 and 2026, by bedrooms

- 2 bed: −6.9% like for like; median AED 125,000 → 120,000 (1 Jan–15 Oct)
- 3 bed: −1.9% like for like; median AED 170,000 → 176,500 (1 Jan–15 Oct)
- Villa / townhouse: −4.8% like for like; median AED 370,000 → 350,000 (1 Jan–15 Oct)
- All Dubai, 1-bed: −5.4% like for like
Same weeks each year so the season does not skew it. New leases only: renewals follow the market with a lag. The change compares the same building, bedrooms and size band in both years; the medians can move differently because the mix of homes changes.
Finding
In JLT new and renewing tenants pay about the same for the same 1-bed.
New lease over renewal, same building, bedrooms and size band, 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026

- 2 bed: about the same

143 matched groups, 2,669 renewals. Each group is one named building with 5+ new and 5+ renewed leases. The bedroom table above mixes buildings, so it can point the other way.
Finding
JLT adverts ask 1% less per sq ft than new 1-bed tenants signed in the last 12 months.
Asking rent per sq ft (adverts 16 Oct 2026) against new leases signed 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026
- Studio: asking AED 136, signed AED 129 a sq ft (+5.4%)
- 1 bed: asking AED 101, signed AED 102 a sq ft (−1.0%)
- 2 bed: asking AED 92, signed AED 93 a sq ft (−1.1%)
- 3 bed: asking AED 93, signed AED 86 a sq ft (+8.1%)
- For rent now: about 2,920 homes, against 1,600 new flat leases in 90 days
Per sq ft, so bigger adverts do not skew it. Adverts are one day's snapshot; duplicates removed by building, bedrooms, size and price, so the count is approximate.
Finding
The cheapest 1-beds for their size are in Palladium, Lake Shore Tower and Dubai Arch Tower.
1 bed flats: median rent per sq ft by building, buildings with 10+ 1-bed leases, 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026
- Palladium: AED 81,000 for 993 sq ft
- Lake Shore Tower: AED 78,000 for 967 sq ft
- Dubai Arch Tower: AED 80,000 for 915 sq ft
- Dearest per sq ft: Banyan Tree Residences Hillside Dubai, AED 156 for a 1-bed
- Buildings compared: every building with 10+ 1-bed leases
Cheap per sq ft can mean an older building, fewer amenities or a worse view: none of these is in the lease record.

How we worked it out, and the limits
Updated 21 Oct 2026. Leases to 15 Oct 2026; adverts of 16 Oct 2026.
Leases. Source: Dubai Land Department Ejari rent contracts. We use homes only, one unit for each contract, starting 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026. There are 9,603 in Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT), and 5,025 of them are new. Bedrooms come from the Ejari unit type. "3 bed" means 3 or more. Every rent is a median: half the leases are above it.
New and renewal. "New" is a new tenant or a new contract. "Renewal" is the same contract, renewed. Renewals are often registered weeks late. Thus the latest month shows too few renewals. Like for like means the same building, the same bedrooms and a size band 15% wide. Leases with no building name are left out of this test. A group needs 5 or more of each: new leases and renewals.
Adverts. We use active yearly rent adverts from listing sites on 16 Oct 2026. We put each advert in Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) by the building or community name in the advert. There are 2,920 adverts after we remove repeats. A repeat has the same building, bedrooms, size and price. One home can still show more than once. Thus "for rent now" is approximate. Adverts are matched to a building by name.
Not used. The Ejari nearest-metro field names a station but no distance, so we do not compare metro and non-metro homes here. Floor, view, parking and furnishing are not in the lease record.
