What the leases say about Mirdif
12,205 Ejari leases 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026, and 367 adverts. Each finding has its chart below.
- New 2-bed rents fell 7.8% this year, like for like. Median new 2-bed: AED 74,000 in 2024, AED 86,000 in 2025, AED 84,000 in 2026 (1 Jan–15 Oct each year). Dubai, like for like: −5.9%.
- Renewing a 2-bed is cheaper than moving. We compare a 2-bed in the same building with a size within 15%. A new tenant pays a median 20% more than a tenant who renews. That is about AED 18,650 a year on a typical renewal rent of AED 91,350. The table above gives AED 84,000 new against AED 66,990 renewal. This is because the table mixes cheap and expensive buildings. The same-building figure is the fair test.
- Adverts ask 15% over signed. A 1-bed advert asks AED 78 a sq ft; the 494 new 1-bed leases of 16 Oct 2025–15 Oct 2026 were signed at AED 68. Offer at the signed figure.
- Cheapest 2-bed for its size: Mirdif Hills- Janayen Avenue, AED 60 a sq ft, the median of its 115 2-bed leases (typical rent AED 100,000). The median 2-bed lease in Mirdif is AED 53 a sq ft.
Finding

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 12,205 in Mirdif, and 2,930 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 Mirdif by the building or community name in the advert. There are 367 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.
