Ejari

Dubai's mandatory tenancy registration system; every Dubai rental contract must be registered on Ejari to be legally enforceable.

Ejari (إجاري, “my rent”) is RERA's tenancy registration system in Dubai. All tenancy contracts must be registered on the Ejari platform; an Ejari certificate is required to obtain utilities (DEWA), residency visas linked to the lease, and to enforce rent disputes at the Rental Disputes Centre.
