Good point, unfortunately no one has the answers, as an individual who has paid rent for the last 5 years in Dubai, & as an investor who is receiving rent for less than 1 year, this sounds like the frying pan or the fire.

Hopefully one can hope that this rent cap nonsense will be done with for the next year, & let market forces determine the rent in the country, if demand exists, then let it be so.

I think for many people this dilemna will exist & I am sure there are laws in every country protecting the rights of tenants & landlords. It just depends on the balance those laws are trying to achieve.
