Ejari Dubai

What Is Ejari Dubai?

EJARI is an Arabic word which means “My Rent”. In Dubai it represents a legislative initiative issued by the Real Estate regulatory Authority (RERA). According to this law, all landlords, property management companies and land lord representatives must obtain EJARI certification in order to become authorized landlords to rent or lease their assets. The Ejari system regulates the rental market of the real estate sector and has been designed under the section of law number 26 of 2007 to regulate the relationship between landlords and tenants. All individuals and real estate companies working as landlords have to register tenancy agreements using EJARI.

RERA announced that effective 14 March 2010, all rental / lease contracts for Dubai properties must be registered through its new EJARI online portal. The EJARI electronic registration web service is designed to meet the requirements of the law and to establish a robust regulatory system for the rental market and protect the rights of everyone involved. Ejari has been designed to ensure that rental agreements are fair and transparent to the parties involved and that their terms and conditions are given full weight.

How does it works?

Registering through Ejari is a simple process requiring little technical expertise and requiring only basic details of agreements such as the details of the property, the name of the rental company, and the terms of the agreement. Once the agreement is entered into the system and registered, it is allocated a unique barcode which acts as its reference throughout the life of the contract. RERA will keep its own record of the agreement and update changes to the register as these occur.

Why Ejari?

Execution of Ejari registration enables the authorities to construct a full and accurate picture of Dubai’s rental market which plays a vital role in planning for the future of Dubai’s Real Estate sector and its ability to influence factors such as supply and coherently the level of prices in the market.

Benefits of Ejari

With Ejari, both ends of a rental contract are uniformly served, providing protection to landlords, management companies, and tenants, while agreeing with the terms of each rental contract. The solution also serves to establish clear payment terms to protect the interests of all the parties when advance rental payments are made.

Once the registration process is complete, a rent receipt can be produced through the system. One of the main benefits ensured by Ejari are the uniformity and standardization of rental contracts, the ease of use, and the time saved on producing documents and receipts that are required for tenancy agreements.

Ejari serves to build and maintain a trusted and regulatory community environment for the real estate industry in Dubai so as to benefit both the landlords and tenants through complete transparency.

Ejari FAQ's

Is Ejari mandatory?

“My rent” is a close translation of the Arabic phrase “Ejari,” which gives you a decent picture of what this system is like. Ejari was established in Dubai in 2010 to regulate and support the rental industry in the city, as well as to safeguard both landlords and tenants. As a result, Ejari registration is mandatory.

Is it necessary for me to register for Ejari?

Yes, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) need the Ejari certificate to open an account. This means that if you don’t have an Ejari certificate when you move in, you can be without electricity and water. Before granting access cards, A/C connections, and/or movement permissions, many building and community management businesses will require an Ejari certificate. If the rental agreement has not been registered with Ejari, local courts will not hear the case.

what happens if you do not have Ejari?

Ejari is mandatory if you are looking for a tenancy in Dubai. There is no doubt that everyone knows about Dubai’s terms & conditions. Ejari is also one of these terms. Landlords in Dubai can face up to a huge AED as a penalty for non-registration of the rental contracts on Ejari.

Is it possible to register Ejari online?

Yes, but you can only do Ejari online so as a renter using the Dubai REST smartphone app. Any websites that claim to be able to help you with this are either obsolete or false. They can only verify that you have all of the necessary paperwork before requesting you to sign the contract in person.

What is the procedure for registering Ejari online?

The official Dubai Land Department app, Dubai REST, is available for Android in the Google Play Store and iOS in the iTunes Store. One of the major advantages it offers is the Ejari online Dubai service. You’ll need your Emirates ID to sign up for the service, and the app will walk you through the document upload procedure. You will be requested to pay an Ejari fee of around AED 175 (roughly). The service is new, so the owner will have to authorize the request through the app as well. As a result, you’ll require a tech-savvy owner. It is reported that approval can take up to two days. If anyone attempts to utilize the app and are unable to complete the procedure for any reason, be sure to cancel the process in the app before attempting it again. This will save you time, as the staff otherwise would have to do it for you.

How to make Ejari personally by the office?

Ejari is now being prosecuted by five government offices in Dubai. There is no need to make an appointment; simply come up with the proper documentation and you will be issued a ticket. Depending on the time of day, waiting times range from 5 minutes to 45 minutes. It will take roughly 10 minutes to finish the procedure after your ticket has been viewed.
