Confirmed by PropDirectWhat is the property advertising permit in Ajman called?
It is called Real Estate Advertisement Permission, filed through the Ajman government services portal. A listing advertised without one is the breach an agent is actually fined for.
Confirmed by PropDirectHow is a tenancy contract registered in Ajman?
Through Tasdeeq. This happens AFTER the contract is signed and is not the same thing as an advertising permit — the two are routinely confused.
Confirmed by PropDirectCan a property owner advertise their own home in Ajman without a broker?
Yes. An owner can hold the permit themselves against their title deed and Emirates ID, without appointing a brokerage, through the Ajman government services portal.

Indicative
A flat ceiling of 10% of the current rent, with no index to compare against - the maximum is simply the current rent plus a tenth.
INDICATIVE. We have this from a single secondary source rather than from Ajman's own published legislation, so treat it as what to ask about rather than as settled. Checked 2026-09-07.
Law 2 of 2008 · Notice to raise · Not confirmed · Disputes · the rental dispute committee at the municipality
Homes on the board — Every listing we hold, with its permit and its paperwork shown
The other six emirates — Same questions, answered separately for each one
How we check a listing — What is verified before a listing appears, and what is not
These answers come from the same emirate record the rest of PropDirect reads, so what a listing page tells an agent and what this page tells a reader cannot disagree. PropDirect is a software provider, not a brokerage — none of this is legal advice, and Department of Land and Real Estate Regulation is the authority on its own rules.
