All you need to know about the Ejari contract

Ejari is the first reference document for a leased or rented unit in Dubai. Here we explain the processes and more about this document.

What is an Ejari contract or number?

Ejari means 'my rent' in Arabic. It is the mandatory registration of your tenancy contract. Initiated by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (Rera), the regulatory arm of DLD, Ejari came into being to make the rental market in Dubai one of the most transparent markets in the world.

How does Ejari work?

Registration through Ejari is a simple process requiring little technical knowledge, and only the basic details of agreements are entered. These include details of the property, the rental company's name, and the agreement's terms.

Once the agreement is entered into the system and registered, it is allocated a unique barcode that acts as its reference throughout the contract's life. RERA will keep its record of the agreement and update changes to the register as these occur.
