Frequently Asked Questions
Ejari is the Dubai Land Department system that officially registers tenancy contracts. Registration is mandatory for all Dubai rental agreements and is required to connect DEWA, obtain residence-visa sponsorship for family, enrol children in school, and file any rental dispute.
The government fees are fixed at a small fee plus knowledge and innovation charges. If you register through a typing centre or real-estate office, an additional service fee (commonly around AED 90–120) applies. Registering yourself through the Dubai REST app avoids the service fee.
You can register through the Dubai REST app using your signed tenancy contract, a copy of your Emirates ID, your passport and visa page, the title deed reference, and a recent DEWA bill or premise number. Self-registration incurs only the government fees.
In practice the tenant usually pays the Ejari registration cost, though this can be negotiated in the tenancy agreement. The obligation to have a registered contract applies to the tenancy itself.
Yes. Ejari must be renewed each time the tenancy contract is renewed, so the registration fee is an annual cost for the duration of your tenancy.
