Ejari is a mandatory registration system for all rental contracts in Dubai. It usually lasts one year and is renewable annually. However, tenants can terminate their rental agreement at the end of the term, or sometimes even sooner. In this case, either of the owners will have to go themselves or someone with a letter of authorization from the owner to cancel the Ejari.

Canceling an Ejari contract is not a difficult process, but it does require certain documents. You must have a NOC signed by the owner to request an ejari cancellation with a copy of the owner's passport with a signature page or a copy of the Emirates identity card. The moment you and your tenant decide to cancel the lease, you should also prepare to cancel the tenant in the Ejari system. Ejari's cancellation fees are approximately AED 50 and will be paid in cash at the counter, by presenting the documents mentioned above.

You don't have to pay anything for the late cancellation of Ejari and regardless of when the ejari is canceled, the charges will remain the same. Simply go to any Ejari center in Dubai with the above documents (a) and (b) and they will cancel the Ejari right then and there. DEWA and other public services are also important to take care of before evicting the property and canceling Ejari. In order to renew an Ejari contract, you must first go to the official website of the Dubai Land Department and download the cancellation form.

When my landlord and I renewed the lease for the next year, neither he nor I made the ejari for the following year. In this case, either of the owners will have to go themselves or someone with a letter of authorization from the owner to cancel the Ejari. In conclusion, it is important to remember that Ejari usually lasts one year and is renewable annually. However, tenants can terminate their rental agreement at any time, as long as they have all necessary documents and pay any applicable fees. DEWA and other public services are also important to take care of before evicting the property and canceling Ejari.
