What this is — and is not
Every figure comes from registered Ejari contracts attributed to this building. Registered rents mix new leases with renewals — renewals are capped by decree, so the blend can sit below what a brand-new lease goes for. The renewal estimate anchors “average market rent” on this building's median, while the legally binding number comes from RERA's own rental index. Use this as negotiation evidence, not a legal determination.
