What is Ejari and do I need it?
Ejari is Dubai's mandatory tenancy registration system managed by DLD. Every residential rental contract must be registered. It costs AED 220 plus AED 10 knowledge and innovation fees. Without Ejari you cannot set up DEWA utilities, get a driving licence address change, or enrol children in public school. Your agent or landlord can register it.
How do I file a rental dispute in Dubai?
File with the Rental Dispute Centre (RDC) inside DLD headquarters. Fee is 3.5% of annual rent, capped at AED 35,000 for the claimant. Bring your Ejari, tenancy contract, passport copy, and evidence. Most straightforward cases resolve in 30–60 days. A mediator session is held first before a judge. Both parties must appear or appoint a legal representative.
