Ejari, meaning “my rent” in Arabic, is a mandatory system introduced by the Dubai Land Department to standardize and register tenancy agreements. Whether you’re a tenant or landlord, understanding how to register with Ejari is crucial.
Step 1: Gather Necessary Documents
To register a tenancy contract, ensure you have the following:
- Signed tenancy contract
- Emirates ID or passport copy of the tenant
- Title deed of the property
- Recent DEWA bill (if applicable)
Both landlords and tenants must comply with the documentation requirements.
Step 2: Choose Your Registration Method
Ejari registration can be completed online through the Dubai REST app or at authorized typing centers across the city. Both methods are efficient and provide the same outcome.
Step 3: Pay the Registration Fee
The cost of registering with Ejari is approximately AED 220. This fee may vary slightly depending on the service provider or center.
Step 4: Receive the Ejari Certificate
Once approved, you’ll receive an Ejari certificate containing a unique barcode. This certificate is required for setting up DEWA accounts, renewing visas, or resolving disputes with landlords.
Benefits of Ejari
- Protects tenants and landlords by providing a transparent framework.
- Legalizes tenancy agreements under UAE law.
- Prevents disputes by documenting all rental terms.
Ejari ensures a seamless rental experience and legal compliance for all parties involved.
