AE · Expiry & renewal tracking
Track Ejari renewals with your lease dates
Ejari is the Dubai Land Department's register of tenancy contracts, and Dubai Law No. 26 of 2007 requires every lease of real property in Dubai to be registered (Article 4). The registration follows the lease term and is renewed with the lease; the tenant, landlord or an authorised representative applies.
Ejari is the Dubai Land Department system for registering tenancy contracts. Dubai Law No. 26 of 2007 requires every lease of real property in Dubai to be registered with RERA.
DLD provides one service to register or renew a tenancy contract, so the Ejari registration follows the lease: when the lease is renewed, it is registered again. The tenant, the landlord or an authorised representative can apply.
