The EJARI digital enrollment internet solution is developed to satisfy the needs of the regulation and also RERA’s vision and also goal to develop a durable governing system for the rental market as well as secure the legal rights of every person entailed.

Ejari Dubai: Landlords must get certified

According to the law, landlords or landlord representatives have to get certified with EJARI in order to act as “authorized landlords” against local authorities. This is a necessary condition to rent or lease assets. Individuals can get certified by attending a 1-day course at RERA and passing a final exam. Individuals shall pay a price for attending the course and getting certified. The law states that landlords who have not attended the 1-day course or failed the exam cannot rent out their property.

Ejari Dubai: Tenancy Contracts must be registered

The second most important effect of the law is that, from the 14th of March 2010, all tenancy contracts in Dubai must also be registered in the Ejari information system. This provision is made mandatory for all rental contracts concerning residential properties as well as commercial units and land with the purpose to make the Dubai rental market become one of the most transparent in the world and ensure peace of mind to both tenants and landlords alike.

The law states that individuals can register tenancy contracts by themselves (e-registration) through the official Ejari web portal (www.ejari.ae) ONLY AFTER they get the status of “authorized landlords or representatives”. People who did not attended the 1-day course at RERA or failed the final exam are, in fact, not allowed to register for any contract with Ejari.

This limitation has been put in place because the Ejari certification has been articulated into a complex procedure and only skilled people are authorized to enter data in the system.

The registration of a tenancy contract is not free and individuals must pay the registration fee set by RERA.

Getting your tenancy contract registered with Ejari has also become necessary for obtaining a large set of documents and starting up new services .

• getting a new residence visa (or renewing an existing visa);
• getting a media/internet connection;
