One App for Rental Contracts and DEWA Services
The new system enables users to create and register tenancy agreements digitally, with Ejari certificates issued immediately after contract approval.
Landlords and tenants can also complete renewals and cancellations using UAE PASS, providing a secure and convenient process without switching between multiple government platforms.
Another major improvement is the integration of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) services. Tenants can now pay their DEWA security deposits through DubaiNow and proceed with electricity and water activation as part of the same digital journey.
Dubai’s Rental Market Continues to Grow
The announcement comes as Dubai’s rental sector maintains strong activity. According to DLD, rental contracts reached approximately AED 32.2 billion in the first quarter of 2026, with 118,385 new contracts and 135,607 renewals registered.
The upgraded Ejari service reflects Dubai’s broader commitment to digital transformation, supporting the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and the government’s Services 360 initiative.
By bringing essential rental services together, Dubai continues to strengthen its position as a technology-driven real estate market, making property transactions more efficient for residents, landlords, and investors.
