As we move into 2025, understanding Ejari has become even more important for both tenants and businesses.

In this blog, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Ejari in Dubai—what it is, why it matters, how to register, and what updates you should be aware of in 2025.

What Is Ejari?

Ejari (which means "My Rent" in Arabic) is an online registration system that formalizes rental agreements between landlords and tenants in Dubai. Managed by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), Ejari ensures that all tenancy contracts are documented and legally binding.

Why Is Ejari Important?

Whether you're renting an apartment, villa, or office space, Ejari registration offers several benefits:

  • ✅ Legal Protection: Recognizes your lease contract as legally binding.

  • ✅ Visa & Residency Services: Required for sponsoring family members or applying for visas.

  • ✅ Utility Connections: Needed to activate DEWA (Dubai Electricity & Water Authority).

  • ✅ Dispute Resolution: Acts as official proof in rental-related disputes.

  • ✅ Business Licensing: Mandatory for registering or renewing trade licenses if your business operates from a rented space.

Who Needs Ejari?

Ejari registration is required for:

  • Individuals renting residential properties (apartments, villas, shared accommodations).

  • Companies renting commercial spaces (offices, warehouses, shops).

  • Landlords and property management companies to ensure their leases are compliant.

Ejari Process in 2025

Registering Ejari in 2025 has become more streamlined, thanks to digital transformation efforts by DLD. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Prepare required documents

  • Signed tenancy contract

  • Emirates ID (tenant)

  • Copy of landlord’s title deed

  • Trade license (for commercial units)

  • Previous Ejari (if renewal)

Step 2: Submit via Ejari system or approved typing centers
You can register Ejari through:

  • DLD's official Ejari app

  • DLD website

  • Authorized typing centers

  • PRO service providers like MH Consultants

Step 3: Receive Ejari Certificate
Once approved, you’ll receive a digital Ejari certificate with a unique barcode—used for all further official transactions.

How Much Does Ejari Cost?

  • Typing center or online application fee: AED 220–250

  • Additional service charges may apply when using PRO services or document clearing agents.

Recent Updates in 2025

  • Smart Ejari Integration: Tenancy contracts can now be registered using blockchain technology, ensuring enhanced transparency.

  • Faster Processing: Most applications are processed within 1 business day.

  • Increased Penalties: Tenants or landlords failing to register Ejari may face fines or delayed services from government departments.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not registering Ejari on time

  • Using expired or incorrect documents

  • Forgetting to renew Ejari annually

  • Mismatched details between the tenancy contract and Ejari system
