The Ejari tenancy agreement is a crucial and essential component of renting real estate in Dubai. However, for those who have never done it before, enrolling for Ejari online may seem difficult and time-consuming. For this reason, we have put together a thorough instruction on how to quickly and easily validate a tenancy contract in Dubai using the Dubai REST app or the official Ejari website.
WHAT IS EJARI?
The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) has launched a program called Ejari, which is Arabic for “my rent,” to control Dubai’s rental market and tenancy agreements. The 2010 initiative mandates the registration of all rental and rental agreements for real estate in Dubai on the cutting-edge Ejari Dubai platform.
All parties to the tenancy agreement are given protection under the Ejari system. Your rental agreement’s legality and openness are ensured by the Ejari tenancy contract. If a rental disagreement arises and you need to, say, challenge an unjust rent increase in Dubai, the Ejari certificate is also a must.
A unique barcode known as an Ejari number will be assigned after you register your Ejari online or at one of the authorized Ejari centers. It is definitely necessary to provide an authentic Ejari Dubai contract while applying for:
- Connection to water and electricity (DEWA)
- Internet and phone connectivity

The Ejari tenancy contract in Dubai is attested by the Ejari Dubai certificate. For any of the aforementioned objectives, a copy of your Ejari certificate must be submitted. Anytime it is necessary, Ejari tenancy contract attestation in Dubai may be produced online from the official website.
