Before you sign a renewed contract with a higher rent, check two things:
- 90 days' notice: a landlord who wants to increase the rent must notify you in writing at least 90 days before your contract ends.
- Smart Rental Index: the increase must be allowed under the Dubai Land Department's Smart Rental Index for your building and area.
Not sure if your increase is allowed? Ask us on WhatsApp before you renew.
Renew My Ejari NowFrequently Asked Questions — Ejari in Dubai
What is Ejari in Dubai?
Ejari is Dubai's official system for registering tenancy contracts, run by RERA under the Dubai Land Department. A registered Ejari makes your tenancy contract official.
Is Ejari registration mandatory in Dubai?
Yes. Tenancy contracts in Dubai must be registered with RERA through Ejari. You also need a registered Ejari for things like a DEWA connection, family visa sponsorship and filing a rental dispute.
How much does Ejari registration cost in Dubai?
The Ejari government fee is AED 177.75 online or AED 219.75 at a real estate services trustee centre. With Direct Deal UAE you pay that fee directly through the official payment link, plus our service fee of AED 100 + VAT (AED 105) — AED 282.75 in total.
How much does Ejari renewal cost?
Ejari renewal has the same government fee as a new registration: AED 177.75 online. Our service fee is also the same: AED 100 + VAT.
What is included in your AED 100 + VAT fee?
We check your documents, submit the Ejari application on Dubai REST, coordinate the landlord approval and send you the Ejari certificate. New tenants also get DEWA activation support.
What documents do I need for a new Ejari?
The tenancy contract signed by tenant and landlord, the tenant's Emirates ID, the title deed, the landlord's Emirates ID or passport, and the cancellation of the previous Ejari on the unit. A DEWA bill helps us find the premise number.
What documents do I need for Ejari renewal?
The renewed tenancy contract signed by both parties, the tenant's Emirates ID, the title deed and the landlord's Emirates ID or passport. No Ejari cancellation is needed for a renewal.
Why do I need the previous Ejari cancelled?
A unit can only have one active Ejari. If the previous tenant's Ejari is still active, the new tenant's Ejari cannot be registered, so the landlord or previous tenant must cancel it first. Cancellation itself is free.
How long does Ejari registration take?
If your documents are complete, we usually submit the application within an hour during working hours. The Ejari is issued as soon as the landlord approves with UAE Pass and the government fee is paid, often within a few hours.
Can I get Ejari urgently for a DEWA connection?
Yes. Send your complete documents on WhatsApp and tell us it is urgent. We prioritise urgent DEWA cases, submit right away and coordinate the landlord approval so your Ejari can be issued within hours.
Can I register Ejari myself?
Yes. Tenants can register Ejari themselves through the Dubai REST app or a trustee centre. Our service is for people who want it hassle-free: we check the documents, prepare and submit the application, fix any rejection and coordinate the landlord approval, so you only approve with UAE Pass.
Who pays for Ejari, the tenant or the landlord?
In practice the tenant usually pays the Ejari fee, but landlord and tenant can agree otherwise in the tenancy contract.
Does the landlord need to do anything?
Yes. The landlord approves the Ejari on Dubai REST using UAE Pass. We contact the landlord, explain the steps and guide them through it, so you do not have to chase it.
Do I need to renew Ejari every year?
Yes. When your tenancy contract is renewed, the renewed contract must be registered in Ejari again. We handle renewals the same way as new registrations.
Can my landlord increase the rent at renewal?
A landlord who wants to increase the rent must give the tenant at least 90 days' written notice before the contract expires, and the increase must be allowed under the Dubai Land Department's Smart Rental Index for that property.
Do you help with DEWA activation?
Yes. For new tenants, DEWA activation support is included in the AED 100 + VAT fee. DEWA's own deposit and connection charges are paid by the tenant directly to DEWA.
Do I need UAE Pass?
Yes. Dubai REST uses UAE Pass, so you and your landlord each approve the Ejari with UAE Pass. It takes a minute, and we guide you through it on WhatsApp.
Can I send my documents on WhatsApp?
Yes. Tap "Register My Ejari Now" and send the documents in the chat, or upload them using the form on this page.
When do I pay?
Only after we have checked your documents. We send a secure payment link for AED 105. The Ejari government fee is paid separately through the official payment link when we submit the application.
Do you handle Ejari outside Dubai?
No. Ejari is the tenancy registration system for Dubai, and we currently handle Ejari for properties in Dubai only.
Is Direct Deal UAE licensed?
Yes. Direct Deal UAE (Direct Deal Real Estate L.L.C) is a RERA-licensed real estate brokerage in Dubai, ORN 43954.
