How to Renew an Ejari Contract in Dubai
Renew an Ejari contract through Dubai REST or the Ejari system after confirming the tenancy terms and property-management route.
The short answer
To renew Ejari in Dubai, use DLD’s register-or-renew service for the new tenancy period after the landlord and tenant have agreed the contract. The online route depends on how the property is managed.
What to do
1. Finalise the renewed tenancy first
Check the new dates, annual rent, payment schedule, parties and property details before the Ejari request is submitted.
2. Identify who should submit
DLD notes conditions for using Dubai REST or its website, including whether the property is managed by a company or by an owner with Ejari system access.
3. Submit through the matching channel
Use Dubai REST, the DLD/Ejari channel or the responsible property manager as directed by the live service. Review attachments before payment.
4. Download and verify the certificate
Match the contract number, dates, rent, owner, tenant and unit. Keep the renewed certificate for DEWA, residency and other legitimate uses.
Important: Do not treat an unsigned renewal draft or rent cheque receipt as proof that Ejari has been renewed.
