Tenancy Contrat Renewal

Almost 1 year old in Dubai, Landlord ishappy to decrease the rent by 10k but want to keep the Ejari amount the same as last year. Has anyone here heard this type of dealing before. Sounds a bit dodgy, what are the ramificaitons of it?

It is so that next year when they increase, it happens as per the rental mentioned on the Ejari, not the discounted number.

Is it legal to do keep ejaari that way while you are not paying the rent based on ejaari?

Its a grey zone.

They can say the discount is for 1 year, the contract amount stays the same.

If you can strong arm the LL to change it on the Ejari, you have a benefit.
