Can a tenant initiate Ejari registration on Habi?

Yes. A tenant can initiate Ejari registration, provided all required documents are submitted and valid.

Can I register Ejari without my landlord or tenant participating?

Yes. Ejari can be registered if the tenancy contract has already been signed by both parties and all required documents are submitted.

What happens if Ejari registration is returned?

If Ejari is returned, you will be informed of the reason and the required action. You can correct the issue and resubmit. Habi reviews submissions to reduce the likelihood of return, but final approval is determined by Dubai Land Department systems.

My first time in using this service and it was super quick and easy to do. I had an issue in which they were very helpful and provided me with options. Saves so much time rather than going to the center.I will definitely be using the service again for each Ejari registration.

I’m using Habi as a tenant for the apartment I’m renting, and just did the renewal through it. The contract was done and signed electronically within 10 minutes. Ejari registration took another 30 minutes after the payment.
