    What is the Ejari system and why is it mandatory

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 12/28/2025
    Ejari is a government system in Dubai that regulates the rental market. All tenancy contracts must be registered in Ejari to be legally binding. It protects both the landlord and tenant by officially recording the lease terms preventing the same unit from being rented twice. For an investor an Ejari certificate is required to open utility accounts and more importantly it serves as the official record to resolve any potential rental disputes at the Rental Dispute Center.
