Can Sharjah landlords increase rent every year, and what can tenants do if the landlord raises it unlawfully?

In Sharjah, landlords cannot raise rent until three years have passed since the start of the lease, unless both parties agree otherwise. If a tenant consents to a rent increase within that period, the landlord must wait an additional two years before any further hike. Any increase after these periods must reflect the fair rent as per law. Tenants facing illegal hikes, like an unexpected 10% raise, can first negotiate with the landlord, and if unresolved, file a complaint with the Sharjah Rental Dispute Center to legally challenge the increase. Have you experienced unexpected rent hikes, or do you think such regulations protect tenants adequately?
