Ejari is RERA's mandatory system for registering every Dubai tenancy contract; without it your lease has no legal standing and you can't file at the RDC, connect DEWA or renew visas. Every new, renewed or terminated contract must be registered. A manager handles this for you - official renewal is about AED 220 (around AED 178 via the Dubai REST app), plus any agent admin fee.
Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
