When it comes to rental agreements in Dubai, it is important to remember that your Ejari is not automatically terminated once the lease period expires. According to the RERA law, you must follow the proper procedure and cancel the Ejari contract. To do so, you must have a NOC signed by the owner, as well as a copy of the owner's passport with a signature page or a copy of the Emirates identity card. Real estate experts have stated that Ejari is usually canceled when either the tenant or landlord does not plan to renew the lease, or when the rental agreement is terminated early.
Fortunately, Al Taresh Trustee offers a hassle-free Ejari cancellation process, so you don't have to visit the RERA office. It is important to note that you don't have to pay anything for the late cancellation of Ejari. The charges will remain the same regardless of when you cancel it. To do so, either of the owners will have to go themselves or someone with a letter of authorization from the owner.
All you need to do is visit any Ejari center in Dubai with the documents mentioned above and they will cancel the Ejari right then and there. If you prefer, you can also cancel Ejari online through the Dubai REST app, the Dubai Now app, or the official DLD website. However, before doing so, it is important to make sure that all other public services such as DEWA are taken care of first. In addition, if your landlord is asking for rent for the period between the expiration of the ejari and the date of cancellation, you can explain your situation and they may exempt it for a month.
Finally, if your tenant is doing illegal sleeping space activities and you want to terminate the contract and cancel the ejari, make sure that you cancel it under your name and not under that of the former tenant.
