Is uploading building leasing details in Dubai mandatory before issuing Ejari contracts?

Uploading building leasing details is a mandatory requirement before issuing tenancy contracts through the Ejari system. The building must be registered in the DLD leasing system, accompanied by an approved unit list and certified floor plans. Without this, the building will not appear in Ejari, and no legal contracts can be issued for its units.

What should I do if my building is not found in Ejari after submission?

If your building is not found in Ejari after submission, it likely means the data was incomplete, incorrect, or not yet approved by DLD. You should verify that the DLD Building Survey Section has approved the unit list and that the floor plans have been certified by the correct planning authority. To avoid any mistakes and delays, contact EGSH for applying.

How long does it take to register a building with Ejari and activate it in the system?

Most building uploads are approved within two business days, as per the DLD timeline. Some cases may require additional DLD verification.

Is the Ejari landlord setup required before activating tenancy contracts?

Ejari landlord setup is required, but there is no mandatory sequence for when it must be completed. The setup may occur before or after the building upload. What matters is that the landlord is registered in the Ejari system, the building is activated in DLD records, and the unit appears under the owner’s profile. Once these conditions are met, tenancy contracts can be generated.

What Is Building Leasing Details Upload

Building Leasing Details Upload is the formal Dubai Land Department (DLD) procedure through which a completed building is added to the emirate’s official leasing database and enabled for Ejari tenancy registration. The process establishes the building’s approved unit structure, verifies its architectural plans, and connects the property to its legal owner within the DLD system. A building that has not undergone this procedure is considered inactive for leasing purposes, and Ejari contracts cannot be issued for any of its units.

The upload relies on core technical documents that define the final approved configuration of the property. These include the official unit list issued by the DLD Building Survey and Common Areas Section and the certified floor plans obtained from Dubai Municipality or Trakhees. During assessment, DLD compares these materials with its cadastral and planning records to confirm that the submitted information accurately reflects the building as recognised by the relevant authorities.

The Building Leasing Details Upload is an administrative registration process carried out under DLD and RERA’s internal operational policies. Completing the upload ensures that the building is recognised within the Ejari ecosystem and is eligible for lawful leasing activity in Dubai.

When Is Building Registration with Ejari Required?

Registration is required in all cases where a building has not yet been activated in the DLD leasing system or where its technical data does not reflect the property’s approved configuration. Newly completed developments require this procedure before any units can enter the rental market, as the building must undergo DLD’s verification following completion and planning approval.

The requirement also applies when the structure or internal layout of a building has changed since the last time its data was recorded. This may involve updated planning approvals, revised numbering of units, changes to areas, or modifications affecting the building’s internal arrangement. Because DLD’s system relies on precise alignment between approved plans and internal records, any variation must be formally updated before Ejari transactions can proceed.

Once the upload is completed and approved, the building becomes available for tenancy registration without restrictions.

Who Can Apply for Building Leasing Details Upload?

The application may be submitted by the legal owner of the property, whether an individual or a corporate entity, whose name is recorded on the Title Deed or Oqood. The owner is responsible for providing the official documentation confirming the building’s approved structure and the authority to request activation in the leasing system.

A representative may apply on behalf of the owner if they hold a valid Power of Attorney or a DLD-recognised property management agreement. DLD verifies these authority documents as part of its standard review. Applications without clear or sufficient authority are placed on hold until the required evidence is provided.

Developers may request the upload only while the building remains under their ownership and before unit handover to end-buyers. After handover, the developer can act solely through a registered POA. In multi-owner buildings, a licensed management company may submit the application if it is formally authorised to carry out leasing-related procedures. Once authority is confirmed, DLD proceeds to the technical assessment and activation.

Where and How the Upload Is Processed

The upload is processed exclusively through DLD’s official channels: authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centres, such as EGSH, and DLD’s internal leasing system, accessible only to certified operators.

After submission, DLD conducts a structured review to ensure that the building’s unit list, floor plans, and property identifiers match the department’s cadastral, surveying, and planning records. This assessment is carried out by the Building Survey and Common Areas Section, which validates the building’s configuration against the approvals issued by the relevant planning authority. Once the information is verified, the building is activated in the leasing system and becomes available for Ejari tenancy operations.

Activation generally appears in the system within two business days, depending on the accuracy of the submitted materials and whether DLD requests additional clarification.

Requirements and Documents for Building Leasing Details Upload

To complete the upload, DLD requires documentation that defines the building’s approved configuration and establishes the applicant’s authority to submit the request. The core materials include the DLD-approved unit list issued by the Building Survey and Common Areas Section, as well as the certified architectural floor plans from Dubai Municipality or Trakhees. These documents must correspond to the building’s final approved layout and unit structure.

Ownership evidence must also be provided, such as the Title Deed or Oqood record, depending on whether the building is completed or in the post-handover stage. When a representative applies on behalf of the owner, the request must be supported by a valid Power of Attorney or a DLD-recognised property management agreement that clearly authorises the submission.

Identification documents for the owner or representative are required to align the application with DLD’s internal records. Once these materials are confirmed and the information is consistent with the department’s dataset, the upload proceeds to technical verification and activation.

Result of the Upload and System Activation

Once the building data is approved, DLD activates the property in the leasing system, creating an official building record that reflects the approved unit list and certified floor plans. The building becomes fully visible in the Ejari system, and each unit can be selected for tenancy registration, renewal, or amendment.

Activation enables all leasing-related procedures, including landlord registration and property manager setup, depending on the structure of ownership and the authority documents submitted. There is no separate certificate issued for this service; activation within the DLD system serves as the official confirmation that the building is recognised and eligible for tenancy registration in Dubai.

If the building undergoes planning revisions or structural changes in the future, DLD may require an updated upload or amendment to maintain alignment between the physical property and the official leasing records. Accurate data is essential to preserve uninterrupted access to Ejari services and ensure compliance with DLD regulations.
