Why do I need to renew my Ejari contract in Dubai?

Ejari renewal is required to keep your tenancy contract legally valid and registered with the DLD. Without renewal, your tenancy becomes inactive in the system and may cause interruptions to services such as DEWA, internet, and visa renewals.

How often do I need to renew Ejari in Dubai?

Most tenancy contracts in Dubai are valid for 12 months. You must renew your Ejari each time you renew the tenancy agreement to maintain an active record in the DLD database and ensure continued access to public and utility services.

How does one renew Ejari online in Dubai?

You can renew Ejari online through the Dubai REST App or the DLD website. Log in, select the tenancy renewal service, upload your Ejari renewal documents, and pay the official fees. If the landlord and tenant data are correct in the system, the renewal is processed instantly. Alternatively, you can renew your Ejari in person at EGSH, a licensed Real Estate Services Trustee Centre. This guarantees correct document submission, immediate registration without system errors, and timely renewal fully compliant with DLD requirements.

Can I renew Ejari after the tenancy contract expires?

Yes. You can complete Ejari renewal after expiry, but it should be done as soon as possible to avoid issues with utilities or government services. EGSH assists in verifying your documents and submitting the renewal directly to DLD for immediate activation.

Where can I renew Ejari in Dubai?

You can renew Ejari at authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centres such as EGSH, through the Dubai REST App, or via the DLD Ejari system online. Trustee Centres handle the whole process – from document verification to e-contract issuance – in one visit.

How long does a tenancy contract renewal take in Dubai?

The tenancy contract renewal process in Dubai is swift. If you renew your Ejari through a Real Estate Services Trustee Centre like EGSH, the process takes about 7 minutes once your documents are verified. If you apply through the Dubai REST App or the DLD website, the Ejari certificate extension is issued immediately after the application is approved and the fees are paid.

What Is Ejari Renewal in Dubai

Ejari renewal is the official process of extending a registered tenancy contract through the DLD. It ensures that the lease remains legally valid in the government database and that both the landlord and tenant maintain recognised tenancy rights under Dubai Tenancy Law.

Renewal must be completed whenever a tenancy contract is extended for the same property and tenant. The process updates all relevant data in the Ejari system, which is managed by DLD’s Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA). Without timely renewal, the tenancy record becomes inactive and may affect access to essential services such as DEWA, internet, and visa-related applications.

The service is governed by Law No. (26) of 2007 Regulating the Relationship Between Landlords and Tenants in the Emirate of Dubai, and all transactions are processed through DLD’s secure Ejari electronic register.

When Ejari Renewal Is Required

The Ejari Renewal procedure in Dubai is mandatory in the following cases:

When your existing tenancy contract expires, and you continue leasing the same property.
When a new annual rental period starts for an existing tenant.
When an updated tenancy agreement is signed with new rental terms.
After ownership transfer, if the new owner keeps the same tenant.

Renewing the Ejari ensures the contract remains legally binding, prevents service interruptions, and provides an updated Ejari certificate for government and utility purposes.

Requirements for Ejari Renewal in Dubai

To renew Ejari in Dubai, applicants must meet the eligibility conditions set by the Dubai Land Department.

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

The property must not be managed by a real estate company or an owner with 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 owner or an authorised representative.

When applying through the Dubai REST App:

Both the tenant and landlord must be individuals with accurate and up-to-date data in the DLD system.

When using the DLD Ejari System (for companies):

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

Meeting these conditions ensures that the Ejari renewal process is fully compliant with RERA tenancy regulations and that the tenancy contract remains legally valid in the DLD Ejari register.

Procedural Features of Ejari Renewal

The Ejari renewal process is quick, fully electronic, and available online and in person. Applications can be submitted through authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centres such as EGSH, the Dubai REST App, or the DLD Ejari system.

At Trustee Centres, the renewal takes approximately seven minutes once documents are verified.
Through the Dubai REST App or DLD website, renewal is instant once approved by the Department.
Both parties – the tenant and landlord – must agree to the renewal and provide a valid Unified Tenancy Contract in the approved format.

All applications are reviewed through DLD’s secure platform to ensure compliance with RERA requirements. The renewed tenancy is automatically linked to the property record in the official Ejari register.

The Ejari renewal fees in Dubai are officially regulated by the Dubai Land Department and depend on the submission method:

I am grateful to her and the entire team for the help. I trust and believe EGSH is a place to recommend to family members and friends.

A very hassle free experience from EGSH. Special mention of Ms.Zara who was most helpfull. Her quick response to queries and swift action are much appeciated.

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. We saved so much money going direct and it was refreshing knowing we are not over paying going through a PRO or typing service company that add so many fees. I saved over 6000aed just for reference. Thank you to EGSH staff. Especially Maria & Randa 🙏

EGSH in art of living is the best Hub center for every thing that you want in dubai Specially Ms.ZARA MOSHIRI is the advisor and assistance and she is beside you in every step Thank you Ms.ZARA MOSHIRI and EGSH

I recently visited this institution had an exceptional experience! Ms. Maria Claudia took the time to understand my needs and preferences. I really appreciate her support and services.

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!
