🏢 What is Ejari & Why Is It Mandatory in Dubai?
If you’re renting any property whether for personal use, business purposes, or even a shared workspace Ejari registration is not optional in Dubai. It’s a mandatory legal requirement under the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) that validates your rental contract and links it to the government database.
The word “Ejari” literally means “My Rent” in Arabic. It protects both tenant and landlord by legalizing the tenancy contract and ensuring transparency. Without Ejari, you cannot:
- Apply for a residency visa
- Register DEWA (electricity & water)
- Sponsor family members or dependents
- Renew your business trade license
- File rental disputes
At Al Fady Business Setup, we help you complete your Ejari registration online or in person, ensuring full compliance with all RERA and Dubai Land Department regulations.
📋 Documents Required for Ejari Registration in Dubai
To register or renew Ejari, you’ll need the following:
For Individuals:
- Valid passport copy
- UAE residence visa
- Emirates ID
- Signed tenancy contract (minimum 1-year lease)
- DEWA premise number or previous bill
- Title deed of the rented property
- Landlord’s Emirates ID or company license
For Businesses:
