What is Ejari?​
Ejari, integral to Dubai’s rental landscape, requires proper cancellation procedures to ensure smooth transitions for tenants and landlords alike. At QSM, we guide you through every step of the Ejari termination process, ensuring compliance with Dubai Land Department (DLD) regulations.
What is Ejari Cancellation?
Ejari cancellation is the process of officially terminating an Ejari registration, which is required when a rental agreement in Dubai comes to an end. This is essential for both the completion and early termination of leases. This Ejari de-registration guide ensures that all records with the Dubai Land Department are updated to reflect the current status of the tenancy and the property.
Why Cancel Ejari?
Cancellation of an Ejari registration is necessary under various circumstances such as early termination of a lease, non-renewal by the tenant, or property ownership changes. Following the steps to stop Ejari registration ensures that both tenants and landlords can pursue new rental agreements without complications.

To cancel Ejari, visit the nearest Ejari service center such as a Tasheel center, Real Estate Services Trustee office, or an authorized typing center like QSM Typing Center.

Yes, you need to formally cancel your Ejari (tenancy contract registration) with the Dubai Land Department (RERA) when your tenancy contract expires or is terminated, even if the contract itself has ended. This is because Ejari registration is a separate process from the tenancy contract itself, and the Ejari registration remains active in the RERA system until it's officially canceled. Failing to cancel Ejari can lead to issues with registering new leases, obtaining DEWA services, or other administrative processes.
RERA regulations state that a property can have only one active Ejari registration at a time. It is the landlord's responsibility to cancel the Ejari as soon as the tenant vacates the property.
Dubai's tenancy law requires tenants to provide a 90-day notice to the landlord if they plan to end their lease early. This rule supports tenants who need to relocate unexpectedly due to unforeseen circumstances.
Failure to renew an Ejari can block access to vital government services, like obtaining a residency visa or setting up utilities. It may also lead to difficulties in legal disputes and fines of up to AED 50,000 from the Dubai government.
Renting an apartment in Dubai without an Ejari is illegal if the tenancy contract exceeds three months. Simply put, a signed tenancy agreement holds no legal validity without Ejari registration.
Failing to register a rental agreement with Ejari in Dubai can result in several penalties and complications. It may go upto 50,000 dhs

In this situation, the tenant may be required to forfeit rent for the remainder of the contract or pay compensation if they choose to move out early. However, the tenant can also talk to the landlord to find a solution that works for both parties.
The Ejari system only allows one name to be registered per tenancy contract, which means that families or bachelors sharing an apartment in Dubai may not be able to include multiple names on the lease.
Any tenancy contract in Dubai with a duration of one to ten years must be registered in the Ejari system when signed and canceled once the lease is terminated.
A tenancy contract becomes legally valid once both parties sign it. However, in Dubai, the contract must be registered with Ejari, a government platform designed to authenticate rental agreements.
The landlord has the right to evict tenants if they breach the terms of the contract. As per Articles 25 and 26, the landlord can issue an eviction notice if the tenants fail to pay rent.
The application must be submitted by the relevant individual, such as the property owner, tenant, PRO, or someone with an official power of attorney. Additionally, a first-degree relative with supporting documentation, or a person holding a power of attorney, can apply on behalf of the concerned party.
The Ejari registration fees are non-refundable, even if the tenancy contract is terminated before the agreed period.
When you complete your Ejari registration, a contract account number will be automatically generated in the DEWA system. You will then receive an SMS and a welcome email from DEWA with your account details.
While a tenancy contract details the terms between a landlord and tenant, Ejari serves as the official system that records the agreement within the DLD's regulatory framework. It ensures compliance with local rental laws and provides a structured database for all leasing contracts.
Each time you renew your tenancy contract, you must also update your Ejari. As a result, you’ll typically renew it annually. Even if you’re staying in the same apartment, you’ll need to complete an Ejari registration for the new contract upon renewal.
