Dubai Residents Required To Register Tenancy Contacts From 2012

Dubai Residents Required To Register Tenancy Contacts From 2012From 2012, residents of Dubai have to register their tenancy contracts with Dubai Land Department through Ejari system.

People who have Dubai labour permits and residence visas but live in other emirates are not obliged to register their tenancy contract with the land department.

Also, residents of Sharjah, Ajman and other emirates, who are sponsored by Dubai companies or other entities, do not have to register with the land department.

Gulf News reports that Marwan Bin Ghulaita, CEO of Dubai Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Rera), said Ejari registration is mandatory for all rentals in Dubai only. People who have Dubai labour permits and residence visas but live in other emirates are not obliged to register their tenancy contract with the land department.

Residents who do not register their tenancy contracts will not be able to conduct transactions at some government departments and may lead to the imposition of penalties which will come into effect in 2012.

The Department of Residency and Foreigners Affairs said they will process transactions of people who run their businesses in Dubai but live in other emirates if their tenancy contracts are attested by the municipality in the emirate.

Rera chief says no rent cap this year

Government, in UAE, works in strange ways. In past few weeks we have seen the mayhem and chaos Emirates ID Card registration has created, especially in the expat community.

Recent confusion is created by Rera, Dubai’s Real Estate Regulatory Authority. At end of last year Rera announced the launch of Ejari, its online tenancy registration website, claiming it is going to improval the rental exploitation scenarios. All rental contracts were required to be made through Ejari website, for a certain fee.

However, Rera chief executive has now announced that rent cap is not required in this year due to the global downturn.

“We don’t need a rent cap this year. We need to freeze everything. 2009 is a tough year and we shouldn’t interfere with rents too much,”

He thinks rental rates should be fair to both landlords and tenants. I wonder how he is going to make sure about this?

Expat community is not happy on this, here is one comment.

Ejari: Online Tenancy Registration Website in Dubai
Dubai’s Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Rera) has launched an Online Tenancy Registration website called Ejari, meaning ‘my rent’ in Arabic.

Ejari is launched to resolve rent and tenancy related disputes between tenant and landlord, as well as to help Rera gauge the rental market.

Rera recently urged tenants and landlords through an advertisement campaign to register tenancy contracts online from January 1, 2009, to develop a comprehensive rental index that will help it to evaluate and regulate the market better, with a Dh100 fee.
