Ejari Renewal in Dubai – Tenancy Contract Extension Made Easy

You need to complete Ejari renewal in Dubai to keep your tenancy contract legally valid and registered with the Dubai Land Department (DLD). Without a valid Ejari, your tenancy is not recognised in government systems, which may prevent you from accessing essential services such as DEWA (utilities), internet connection, and visa renewal. Timely Ejari renewal ensures that your tenancy details are updated in the official database and protects both the tenant and landlord in case of disputes. It is a mandatory legal requirement for all leased properties in Dubai.

Tenancy contract renewal in Dubai is typically required once a year, as most rental agreements in the emirate are valid for 12 months. The renewal process must be completed before the contract expires to maintain legal tenancy status and uninterrupted access to essential services. Whether you are a tenant in a residential, commercial, or industrial property, your tenancy contract and its Ejari registration must be renewed annually to remain compliant with Dubai Land Department (DLD) regulations.

You can renew your Ejari in Dubai through several official channels authorised by the Dubai Land Department (DLD). These include: — Real Estate Services Trustee Centres (such as EGSH), where you complete the renewal in person with full document verification. — The Dubai REST App and the DLD website, which allow eligible individuals to process their tenancy update in Dubai online, provided that both the landlord and tenant meet specific criteria. EGSH acts as a licensed Real Estate Services Trustee Centre, handling your tenancy update in Dubai quickly and legally. We verify your documents, process the renewal through the Ejari system, and issue your updated contract in a single visit.

The key requirements for Ejari renewal in Dubai include having a valid tenancy contract, the tenant’s Emirates ID, and landlord approval for renewal. Both parties must agree on the renewal terms and sign the unified tenancy contract, which is the official document for Ejari registration. In some cases, a landlord’s approval for renewal is confirmed by the signed tenancy contract itself. If the tenant is acting through a representative, a notarised power of attorney is also required. EGSH verifies all documents and ensures that your tenancy contract is renewed in full compliance with Dubai Land Department (DLD) regulations.

To complete an Ejari renewal, you must provide the following documents: — Both the tenant and landlord signed the original unified tenancy contract. — A valid Emirates ID of the tenant. — A power of attorney is valid only if an authorised representative submits the renewal. If you choose to renew your contract in person at an Ejari renewal office like EGSH, our specialists will verify your documents and process the renewal directly through the Dubai Land Department (DLD) system, ensuring fast and legally compliant registration.

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 typically takes about 7 to 10 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. EGSH ensures that your tenancy contract renewal is completed in a single visit with immediate issuance of your updated Ejari certificate.

The standard government fee for Ejari renewal in Dubai is AED 100, plus AED 10 knowledge fee and AED 10 innovation fee. You can complete your Ejari fee payment by credit card, Noqodi, or cash at the service centre. EGSH ensures that all fees are paid correctly and your renewed tenancy contract is processed without delays.

You can complete Ejari online renewal through official Dubai Land Department (DLD) channels, such as the Dubai REST App or the DLD website. To renew Ejari with the REST App, log in, select the tenancy renewal service, upload the required documents, and pay the renewal fees. If the landlord’s and tenant’s data are updated in the DLD 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.

Ejari renewal after expiry is possible in Dubai. However, you must complete the renewal as soon as possible to avoid delays in government services or potential fines. The Dubai Land Department (DLD) allows renewal of an expired tenancy contract, but any period without an active Ejari registration means your tenancy is not officially recognised. EGSH helps tenants renew their Ejari after expiry by verifying their tenancy documents, submitting the renewal application, and ensuring the updated contract is legally registered without further delay.
