Know The Complete Ejari Cancellation Process in Dubai

In Dubai, a rental agreement is only complete if registered with Ejari. But what is ‘EJARI’? The term Ejari translates to ‘My Rent’ in Arabic. The crucial function of this service is safeguarding the interests of all parties involved in the tenancy agreement. here’s the complete process of Ejari cancellation.

Description of Ejari Cancellation

An Ejari lease agreement registration is normally valid for a full year and may be renewed yearly. However, tenants may choose to end their lease early in certain cases or at the end of the term. This article discusses everything about Dubai’s Ejari cancellation process online and offline and the documents required for Ejari cancellation.

When Is It Possible to Cancel Ejari in Dubai?

Terminating your Ejari contracts as either a landlord or a tenant is possible. There are two methods to cancel Ejari:

• • Early rental agreement termination
  • Terminating the agreement if no party wants to extend it when the lease expires

After the contract expires, your Ejari agreement won’t be immediately terminated. If Ejari isn’t cancelled, it will be hard for you to move to a new place as a renter or to lease your property to a new party as a landlord! A property may only have one Ejari registration, per RERA law. Because of this, the landlord is responsible for terminating the Ejari as soon as the renter vacates.

Steps For Ejari Cancellation: How do you Cancel Ejari?

Ejari can be cancelled via the app and the Real Estate Trustees Centre. Let’s examine the two choices:

• What Documents are Required for Ejari Cancellation Through the Real Estate Trustees Centre?

One needs to have the following documents for Ejari Cancellation:

• • Both parties’ Emirates IDs
  • Ejari Certification
  • Passport of the tenant
  • The landlord’s No Objection Certificate (NOC)
  • The tenant’s most recent DEWA bill
  • First unified tenancy agreement
  • A notice of termination from the landowner

If the renter is a business, you will need to present the trade license and Emirates ID of the management as well as the owner. Additionally, a copy of the Ejari certificate needs to be sent. If the Ejari certificate is inaccessible, use the tenancy contract instead. The following information ought to be included in the Ejari cancellation NOC letter:

• • Landlord’s Name
  • Title of the Building
  • Number of Premises (DEWA)
  • Number of the Plot
  • Tenant’s personal information
  • A vacancy statement
  • Landlord’s Signature
  • The Seal of the company

Important Things to Note:

• • Submitting the final DEWA bill is the most important stage in the Ejari cancellation procedure. The cancellation procedure is incomplete if there are still unpaid DEWA invoices.
  • If you send in a hard copy of the bill, it must be properly stamped with the words “Final Bill” and “Paid.” A copy of the “Green Bill,” available for download from the DEWA website, may also be sent instead of this.

• What are the Additional Documents Required for Ejari Cancellation?

Moving forward, in rare circumstances, further documents might be needed. For example, if the property was sold while the tenancy was in effect and the buyer assumed the lease, you must provide the title deed. When this happens, the new owner has to provide their Emirates ID or, if they aren’t UAE citizens, a copy of their valid passport. Similarly, let’s say a landlord representative signed the tenancy agreement. If so, they must also submit the Power of Attorney, which permits the agent to sign the lease on the owner’s behalf. The representative must also produce their passport, residency visa, or Emirates ID.

If you cancel Ejari through the application, you only need one document: a consolidated tenancy contract copy.
