Dubai’s Rental Disputes Centre (RDC) today announced it settled disputes worth AED 190.7 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Between April and June, the centre finalised 443 reconciliation agreements, with an average settlement period of six days per case.

In April, 144 settlements were recorded with a total value of AED 43.1 million. Performance strengthened further in May with 191 agreements concluded, amounting to AED 25.5 million. The momentum peaked in June, when the centre achieved 108 settlements with a record-breaking value of AED 129.3 million, according to the figures.

Commenting on the results, His Excellency Judge Abdulqader Mousa Mohammed, chair of the centre, said: “These achievements prove our unwavering commitment to enhancing judicial efficiency and promoting friendly settlement mechanisms that deliver justice and uphold the rights of all parties involved.”

“Guided by the vision of Dubai’s leadership, we aim to foster a safe and attractive property market for both investors and residents, while offering innovative solutions that reinforce stability and balance the interests of landlords and tenants alike,” he said.

Established in 2013, the centre has exclusive jurisdiction over rental disputes in Dubai and its free zones, playing a central role in maintaining stability across the property market. In addition to adjudication, it provides alternative solutions through its conciliation and mediation division and enforces rulings via an enforcement arm.
