Ejari Tenancy Management<\/strong><\/h3>
Ejari registration<\/a> and renewal are among the most commonly used services in the app. Whether you are renting a studio in Downtown Dubai or managing a portfolio of apartments in Barsha Heights<\/a>, the Ejari registration process remains the same.<\/p>
- \n
- Select the “Ejari” service and choose whether to register a new contract, renew an existing contract or cancel a contract.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Enter tenancy details exactly as stated in the Unified Tenancy Contract<\/a> and upload the signed contract document.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Submit the application and pay the applicable fees through the integrated payment gateway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Landlord or owner approval may be required at certain stages of the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Once approved, download the Ejari certificate<\/a> directly from the app or receive it via email.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
Property Portfolio & Document Vault<\/strong><\/h3>
- \n
- View all properties linked under your ownership, including values, rental yields and service charge history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Off-Plan Projects & Oqood Integration<\/strong><\/h3>
- \n
- Browse off-plan real estate projects using features such as “Smart Investment Map” or “Mashrooi”.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Review project status details, including construction progress, escrow account information and real project images.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
Market Tools & Insights<\/strong><\/h3>
