Registration & Renewal of Lease in Dubai – Fast & Compliant Ejari Services

The Ejari system is an online platform managed by the Dubai Land Department to register all real estate rental contracts in Dubai. It ensures that tenancy agreements are legally recognised and compliant with the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) rules. EGSH, as an authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centre, provides direct access to this system, registering and renewing tenancy contracts for landlords, tenants, and property managers.

Tenancy contract registration in Dubai is the official procedure of recording a lease agreement in the Ejari system, ensuring it is legally valid, compliant with the RERA regulations, and enforceable under UAE law. This process is mandatory for all rental agreements in the emirate and serves to protect the rights of both landlords and tenants while maintaining transparency in property rental transactions.

The renewal of a tenancy contract in Dubai should be finalised before the current lease expires to maintain its legal validity and avoid disruptions in tenancy-related services. EGSH processes the lease renewal application in the UAE in one visit, ensuring no gaps in contract validity.

Both registration and renewal are completed through the Ejari system. The process involves submitting the tenancy contract and supporting documents either online or via an authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centre. Once the application is reviewed and approved, an official Ejari certificate is issued. EGSH ensures each lease application is processed accurately, in compliance with all legal requirements.

When applying through a Real Estate Services Trustee Centre, the required documents are the original unified tenancy contract, a valid Emirates ID of the applicant, and, if applicable, an official power of attorney. If the power of attorney is issued in Dubai, its number can be provided without attaching the document; if issued in another emirate, a copy must be attached. For applications via the Dubai REST App or Land Department website, only a scanned copy of the unified tenancy contract is required. When using the Ejari system as a licensed real estate company, property owner, or authorised representative, no additional documents are submitted. EGSH reviews and validates all documentation to meet DLD standards, ensuring smooth and accurate processing.

Under Dubai Land Department procedures, tenancy contract renewal through a Real Estate Services Trustee Centre is completed in approximately seven minutes (processing time), excluding any waiting time. If the application is submitted online via the Ejari system or Dubai REST App, the renewal is processed immediately upon approval. EGSH allows clients to complete Ejari registration or renewal in a single visit.

The Dubai Land Department allows users to register and renew Ejari through its official online platforms, including the Dubai REST App, the Dubai Now App, and the Land Department website (Ejari system). While Ejari online renewal can be completed independently, incomplete details or incorrect document uploads may result in delays or application rejection. By applying through EGSH, clients complete the process accurately in one visit, with immediate issuance of the Ejari certificate in compliance with DLD requirements.

The Ejari cost varies depending on the submission method. Applications via the Dubai REST App or the Land Department website are subject to AED 100 for registering a tenancy contract, plus AED 10 knowledge fee and AED 10 innovation fee. When processed through a Real Estate Services Trustee Centre, the cost is AED 120 in addition to the service partner’s fee of AED 95 plus VAT.

If an Ejari contract is not renewed before its expiry date, it becomes legally invalid, meaning the tenancy will no longer be recognised in the Dubai Land Department system. This can lead to disconnection of utility services, difficulties in obtaining or renewing residence visas linked to the property, and potential legal disputes with the landlord or tenant. By renewing through EGSH, clients avoid these risks, as the process is completed on time and in full compliance with DLD requirements.
