What's included

The tenancy contract

The standard Dubai tenancy contract, created for your new tenancy period. Habi always generates the latest version of the DLD template. See the unified tenancy contract at dubailand.gov.ae.

The addendum

Set the additional terms for your renewal: keep them as in your previous contract, or agree new ones. If your previous contract was created on Habi, they are already filled in. The addendum covers what the standard template does not: responsibilities, payment schedule, early termination, and more, in line with rental laws and RERA regulations.
Compliant by design
The flow will not let you miss a required field or skip the protective terms. A finished contract has everything Ejari registration requires.
Plain-language terms
Every clause states who is responsible for what, in plain English. Both parties know exactly what they are agreeing to before they sign.

How to renew a tenancy contract online

Renew your tenancy contract on Habi in 4 steps.
1

Set the renewal terms

Enter your tenancy details and set the terms for the new period: rent, dates, and the conditions the parties agreed. If your current contract is already on Habi, the terms are filled in for you; update only what changes.
2

Review & share

Review the complete contract exactly as it will be signed. Adjust anything, then share it with the other party.
3

Sign the contract

Both parties sign online, via an invitation to the platform or a signing link. The contract can also be downloaded and signed on paper.
4

Renew Ejari registration

Apply on Habi and receive your renewed Ejari certificate the same day, AED 299 with all fees included, or renew through any other channel.

Before you start

You do not need to prepare anything in writing. The guided flow takes you through each of the details below.

Who can renew the contract

Landlord or tenant — either party can start the renewal and share it with the other
Individual, or a company through its authorised representative

What you need at hand

The property: type, building or community, and unit number. Property details are pulled from the DLD registry automatically
The DEWA premise number, entered once and securely stored for your future contracts
Complete names as on ID documents, email, and phone: passport number for the landlord, Emirates ID number for the tenant. For a company: licence number and licensing authority (e.g. DET, DMCC)
Agreed terms for the new period: annual rent, tenancy period, number of payments and payment mode (usually cheques or bank transfer), security deposit
The additional terms you have agreed: who is responsible for DEWA, chiller and telecom, who registers Ejari, minor maintenance, early termination, penalty for a returned cheque, and any inventory leased with the property
If your current contract is already on Habi, you need none of this: the property, parties, and terms are securely stored, including the DEWA premise number. Update only what changes.

Documents

No uploads are required to create and sign the contract. You do not need to upload your current contract either. Documents are needed only at Ejari renewal: the title deed and the landlord's passport, or for a company its trade licence and the authorised signatory's ID. You can share them securely on Habi.

Residential and commercial tenancies

The contract flow covers residential tenancies and commercial leases such as offices. Company details are supported for corporate landlords and tenants.

Changing the terms at renewal

If a landlord or tenant wants to change a term at renewal, including the rent, they must tell the other party in writing at least 90 days before the contract expires. Without notice, the terms stay the same, unless the parties agree otherwise. On Habi, you record what was agreed: update the changed terms and the rest stays the same.

After signing: Ejari renewal

The signed contract must be registered with Ejari: the existing Ejari record is renewed for the new period. Once signed, you can continue to Ejari renewal on Habi, or download the contract and renew through any other channel.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Is this tenancy contract legally valid in Dubai?

Yes. A tenancy contract is valid when it contains the required details and is signed by both parties. Contracts created on Habi follow the standard Dubai format and are used for Ejari registration.

Will this contract be accepted for Ejari?

Contracts created on Habi follow the current RERA-standard format, and the flow requires every field Ejari needs. Acceptance also depends on the accuracy of the details you enter: check that names, Emirates ID, and property details match your documents, and sign as your name appears on your ID.

Can I renew if my current contract was not created on Habi?

Yes. You enter the tenancy details once, and the contract is created in the standard format. As long as you set the conditions the landlord and tenant agreed for the renewal, that is all: the flow covers the additional terms typical for Dubai, and you can add custom conditions. Your details are securely stored for future renewals.

Can the tenant start the renewal?

Yes. Either landlord or tenant can start the renewal and share it with the other party. Both parties sign the contract.

Does the other party need a Habi account to sign?

No. You can invite them to review and sign on Habi, or send a signing link that needs no account. You can also download the contract and sign it on paper.

Can we change the rent or other terms at renewal?

Yes, if both parties agree, in accordance with the law: changing a term at renewal, including rent, requires at least 90 days' written notice before expiry. On Habi you update the changed terms and the rest stays the same, unless the parties agree otherwise.

When should I start the renewal?

Agree the renewal terms with the other party no later than 90 days before your contract expires. The contract itself is usually prepared about a month before expiry.

Do I need an agent to renew a tenancy contract in Dubai?

No. You are not required to use an agent. You can renew the contract yourself on Habi and complete the entire process online.

How much does it cost?

Creating and signing the contract on Habi is free of charge. Ejari renewal, if you apply through Habi, is AED 299 with the government fee, service fee, and VAT included. You can also renew Ejari through any other channel; the contract you sign on Habi works with all of them.
