Are you looking to register your tenancy contract with Ejari? Here’s everything you need to know before proceeding with the Ejari registration. Well, Ejari registration is mandatory for a variety of services. This includes renewing a resident visa, obtaining an internet connection, obtaining a commercial license, hiring domestic help, and most importantly, registering with the DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority). For acquiring power and water services, the Dewa registration now requires a certified copy of the Ejari, as well as additional documentation.
This is one of those points where the landlord and the tenant are at odds. According to RERA, the Ejari is the landlord's obligation and must be paid by the tenant. Before registering a new tenant in the system, landlords must terminate the registration under the prior renter's name.
In most circumstances, the consultant who acts as a mediator between the landlord and the tenant may take on the obligation of Ejari registration, which is an extra service for which all parties should agree on compensation.
All parties involved in property lease and management, including landlords who manage their properties on a personal basis, licensed companies, and legal representatives can be connected and authorized to register and issue contracts through Ejari's tenancy contract registration.
Ejari registration is a simple process that requires little technological skills. The contract entails basic information, such as details about the property, the rental company's name, and the conditions of the rental agreement.
When a contract is placed into the system and registered, it is given a unique barcode that serves as a reference throughout the contract's life. RERA will keep its record of the agreement and will keep the register up to date as modifications occur.
Before proceeding, you must double-check that your Ejari contains all deposits, contract terms, and rent amounts.
