What is due, and when

  • Ejari is what makes the contract real: without it there is no utility account, no residency visa on it and no dispute you can bring. It follows signing, and PropDirect does not lodge it.yours
Increases are set by the rental index rather than by agreement: none is permitted while your rent is within 10% of the market rate for comparable homes, rising on a fixed scale to a maximum of 20% only where your rent is far below market. Notice must be given 90 days before the contract ends, in writing.

  • Handover: no move-in report or photographs are kept here. Photograph every snag on the day you get the keys, and send them to the landlord in writing.
  • Once there is a contract, the date you must decide by — renew, renegotiate or leave — shows here.
  • Utility and chiller accounts are opened in your name with the registered contract and your Emirates ID. They are not tracked here.yours

    What Hala keeps for a tenancy

    The contract, its signatures, the cheque schedule and the registration number you record — on your tenancy page, each dated.
    No index reading is kept for your building: the rent-rise rule above is the emirate's, and what homes like yours rent for is on the rent pages, from registered contracts.
    No reminder is sent before renewal — to you or to the landlord. The dates are on this page.
    Nothing is sent to the landlord in your name unless you send it.
