Conditions, time and validity

  • DLD publishes one unified tenancy contract form; extra terms are added in its addendum and must not contradict Dubai's tenancy law.
  • Rent increases at renewal follow DLD's rental index rules.
Processing time
Same day once both parties' details are ready.
Validity of the result
The contract is valid for the period written in it (Ejari registration is still needed).
Where it is applied for
Prepared at the centre on DLD's published form; registration in Ejari happens at trustee centres, the Dubai REST app or property-management companies.

Steps at the authority

  1. Client sends both parties' IDs, the title deed and the agreed rent, payments and period.
  2. Centre fills the unified contract and any addendum and sends a draft for review.
  3. Landlord and tenant sign; the contract can then be registered in Ejari.

Tips that save you a trip

  • Check the rent against DLD's rental index before renewing, so the increase is within the allowed range.
  • Write the cheque numbers and dates in the contract; it avoids disputes later.

Common reasons for rejection or delay

  • Landlord's name or property details differ from the title deed, which later blocks Ejari registration.
  • The person signing for the landlord has no valid power of attorney.

Questions and answers

Is the contract valid without Ejari?

It binds the parties, but without Ejari registration it is not accepted for visas, DEWA or the Rental Dispute Centre. Register it after signing.
