Ejari Services

Ejari is an essential online system in Dubai, managed by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA). Its primary purpose is to record rental agreements between landlords and tenants. This system ensures that rental contracts are clear and legally binding, fostering fairness and transparency in property rentals. By using Ejari, both parties can benefit from a formal record that helps resolve disputes and ensures compliance with local regulations.

1. Legal Protection: One of the key reasons to register a rental agreement with Ejari is to gain legal protection. In Dubai, rental contracts that are not registered through Ejari are not recognized by the local authorities. This means that unregistered contracts lack official standing and do not benefit from the protections offered by Dubai’s regulatory framework. Registering your contract ensures that it is recognized and enforceable, providing security and legal recourse if any issues arise.

• Visa Applications: Since 2013, having an Ejari-registered rental contract has been a requirement for applying for residency visas in Dubai. This means that without an Ejari certificate, you cannot process or renew your residency visa. The Ejari registration serves as proof of your address and your legal rental status, which is a crucial part of the visa application process.

• Service Connections: As of June 2013, Ejari registration is also necessary for setting up home services with Du, such as internet and TV connections. This requirement ensures that service providers only connect services to properties with officially documented rental agreements. Without Ejari registration, you may face difficulties in getting these essential services installed.

1. Landlords and Tenants: Both landlords and tenants are responsible for ensuring that their rental contract is registered with Ejari. This collaborative process helps maintain transparency and fairness in the rental relationship. While both parties share the responsibility, the process can be managed more efficiently if one party takes the initiative.
2. Property Management Companies: If a property management company is involved in managing the rental property, its agent can handle the Ejari registration on behalf of the landlord and tenant. This can simplify the process, especially for landlords who own multiple properties or tenants who prefer not to manage the registration themselves.
3. Tenant’s Role: In most cases, it is the tenant who registers the rental contract with Ejari and pays the associated fees. This practice is common because tenants typically initiate the rental process and are responsible for ensuring that all documentation is completed. The tenant’s registration ensures that the contract is officially recorded and that all necessary services can be set up.

Ejari registration is not only important for rental agreements but also plays a crucial role in obtaining family and maid visas. For those looking to sponsor family members or domestic staff, having a valid Ejari-registered contract is essential. This requirement underscores the significance of maintaining up-to-date and accurate rental records.
