When is Ejari cancellation required in Dubai?

Ejari cancellation is required when a tenancy contract expires, is terminated by mutual agreement, or the tenant vacates the property. It must also be completed after a property sale to remove the previous tenancy record from the Dubai Land Department system.

How to cancel Ejari in Dubai?

You can cancel Ejari online through the Dubai REST App or the DLD Ejari system, or in person at an authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centre such as EGSH. The process takes about seven minutes at a Trustee Centre or is completed instantly online once approved by DLD.

What documents are required for Ejari cancellation?

You need the tenancy contract (if still valid), a valid Emirates ID of the applicant, and a Power of Attorney if applying on behalf of the tenant or landlord. A landlord’s cancellation letter may be requested if the contract is still active.

Can I cancel Ejari online without visiting a Trustee Centre?

You can complete Ejari cancellation online through the Dubai REST App. Both the tenant and landlord must be individuals, and the owner’s data must be accurate and up to date in the DLD system.

How can I check an Ejari cancellation status after applying?

You can check the Ejari cancellation status through the same channel used for submission—either the Dubai REST App or the Trustee Centre. If you applied through EGSH, your consultant will confirm once DLD has approved the cancellation.

Can Ejari be cancelled after the tenant moves out?

Yes. Once the tenant vacates, the landlord or authorised representative must cancel Ejari to close the tenancy record in the DLD register. This step ensures the property is cleared for new registration and prevents future disputes.

Do I need to cancel the rental contract after selling the property in Dubai?

If the property was leased at the time of sale, the Ejari must be cancelled to reflect the change in ownership and remove the previous tenancy record from the DLD system. This process ensures that the new owner can register a fresh tenancy without legal or technical complications.

What Is Ejari Cancellation in Dubai

Ejari cancellation is the official process of removing a tenancy contract from the DLD register after the lease has expired, been terminated, or the property has been vacated. It ensures that the tenancy record is legally closed and that the property is no longer registered under the previous tenant.

The procedure protects landlords and tenants by preventing future liabilities or disputes and by clearing the property for new Ejari registration. All cancellations are recorded within the DLD’s secure electronic Ejari system, which forms part of Dubai’s official tenancy regulation framework managed by RERA.

The process is governed by Law No. (26) of 2007 Regulating the Relationship Between Landlords and Tenants in the Emirate of Dubai, and its subsequent amendments.

When Ejari Cancellation Is Required

The Ejari Cancellation in Dubai is mandatory in the following cases:

When the tenancy contract expires, and the tenant has vacated the property.
When the contract is terminated early by mutual agreement between landlord and tenant.
After the property is sold, the new owner needs to remove the previous tenancy record.
When the property remains vacant and the landlord wishes to clear the rental record before new registration.

Timely Ejari deregistration ensures the tenancy is legally ended and prevents penalties, duplicate records, or conflicts during future lease registration.

Procedural Features of Ejari Cancellation

The Ejari cancellation process is a straightforward, fully digital procedure handled through the Dubai Land Department systems. It can be completed either in person at an authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centre, such as EGSH, or online via the Dubai REST App or DLD Ejari system.

When submitted through a Trustee Centre, the process typically takes about seven minutes, excluding waiting time. Online submissions are processed instantly once approved by DLD. All requests are entered, verified, and confirmed through DLD’s secure electronic register, ensuring that the tenancy record is legally closed and the property cleared for future leasing.

Requirements for Cancelling Ejari

To cancel Ejari in Dubai, specific eligibility and technical conditions set by the Dubai Land Department must be met. These ensure that only authorised parties can complete tenancy deregistration correctly.

When applying through a Real Estate Services Trustee Centre, such as EGSH:

The property must not be managed by a real estate company or by an owner who already has direct Ejari system access.
The applicant must be the tenant or a legal representative with a valid Power of Attorney.
The landlord must be the registered property owner or an authorised representative.

When applying through the Dubai REST App:

Both the tenant and landlord must be individuals, not other legal entities.
The owner’s data in the DLD system must be accurate and up to date.

When using the DLD Ejari System (for companies and owners):

Property management companies must hold a valid DLD licence for real estate management activities.
Individual owners may cancel Ejari directly if they manage their own properties.
Representatives of individual owners must hold a legally issued Power of Attorney authorising property management.

Meeting these requirements ensures the Ejari record is cancelled in full compliance with RERA tenancy regulations and DLD procedures.

Where to Complete Ejari Cancellation in Dubai

You can complete Ejari cancellation only through the following official DLD channels:

Authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centres—such as EGSH, where consultants verify documents, submit the request through the DLD system, and finalise the process in one visit.
Dubai REST App—for online and instant cancellation once the property has been vacated.
DLD Ejari System (DLD website)—available for registered users managing multiple properties.

All applications are processed through DLD’s secure digital platform, and the tenancy record is removed immediately upon approval.

Official DLD Fees for Ejari Cancellation

The Ejari cancellation fee depends on the method of submission. The Dubai Land Department applies officially regulated fees for Ejari cancellation:

Service Partner Fee: AED 40 + VAT (when completed through Real Estate Services Trustee Centres)
Online or App Submission: Free of charge

Payments can be made via cash, credit card, or Noqodi Wallet at authorised Trustee Centres such as EGSH, or electronically through the Dubai REST App. All transactions are processed securely through DLD’s payment gateway.

We had the pleasure of being assisted by the lovely Ms Maria and Ms Randa. They were clear concise and super professional throughout our whole process of renewing our Ejari and business licence. Maria provided continued support while we were waiting for our business Ejari to come through and made it a simple seamless process. I can’t thank these lovely ladies enough.

Good morning, I needed to apply for the Golden Visa and went to this EGSH Emirates office. I was very impressed by their facilities and the peaceful atmosphere. We were fortunate to be assisted by María Claudia García, who provided exceptional service. She advised and helped us every step of the way, guiding us through the entire process until we obtained the Golden Visa. Honestly, people with this level of professionalism and personal touch make one feel more at ease and integrated into this country. Thank you!

I would like to express my appreciation to Ray from EGSH for his outstanding assistance in handling the transfer of our property at Rove Hotel. He was very helpful, accommodating, and patient throughout the entire process, from addressing transaction concerns and verifying documents to the actual property transfer and ensuring the new owner received the title deed…

I worked with Amir and Zara, they took care of everything, I only had to send the mandatory information. In a very short time, everything was completed. I was amazed, considering how difficult it had seemed before. Not to mention, the fees were the same or even lower than those of the other companies I mentioned. For me, it was a 10/10 experience, the quickest and smoothest process someone could have in this journey. Strongly recommend them.

Zara assisted me with my Ejari registration, and she was absolutely amazing. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism, efficiency, and delivered everything promptly. Truly a pleasure to work with!
