In the present scenario, there is a need to check irregularities associated with the real estate industry in the UAE. This will bring stability, clarity and most importantly, a sense of satisfaction when dealing with Real Estate matters.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/evrything-you-know-about-rera-rental-property-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\">RERA<\/a> (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) announced a new set of rules to ensure market regulation. This rule prohibits illegal practices of residing together without any legal bindings. All property owners, developers tenants, and management companies must register their co-occupants, as per DLD (Dubai Land Department).<\/p><p>The authoritative party (the party holding the property rights) must mention the names of its co-occupants on the tenancy contract. This regulation applies to both owned and rented property.&nbsp;<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-registration-process-of-co-occupants-on-ejari\">Registration Process of Co-occupants on Ejari<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/ejari-registration-in-dubai\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ejari<\/a> means &ldquo;my rent&rdquo; in Arabic.

However, the tenant will pay the required registration charges.<\/p><p>Ejari requires immediate cancellation before leaving the property. This should be done before the end of contractual terms and conditions. In other words, when the property owner and tenant do not agree to renew the contract, they move toward cancellation.<\/p><p>Unregistered individuals should follow these steps:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit the Dubai Land Department&rsquo;s website and log in.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on Registration and sign up with UAE PASS.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue the process even if you do not have a UAE PASS with a valid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.ae\/blog\/emirates-id\/\" target=\"_blank\">Emirates ID<\/a> or Residence Visa Number.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>If you are registered using the Dubai Rest App or DLD website, please abide by the 9 steps below to register co-occupants on Ejari.<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click the &ldquo;Proceed to login&rdquo; button<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select your appearance as an &ldquo;Individual&rdquo; and log in with UAE PASS for swift access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For further authentication, use the UAE PASS Application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From the Dashboard, choose the property that offers you both options &ndash; owner or tenant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose &ldquo;Manage co-occupants&rdquo; to proceed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type the number of co-occupants and press submit.<\/li>\n<\/ol><p>You can also add their details by following the steps mentioned below.<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose &ldquo;Add more&rdquo; to add Co-occupants to the chosen property<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type the Emirates ID and Date of Birth of the Co-occupant and choose &ldquo;Verify&rdquo;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add all the family members that are residing on that property.
