Lease renewal: what owners should review before the term ends
Organise your renewal review, communications and financial records while checking the rules that apply to the specific lease and city.
Read the guideRenewal & contract review
Plan ahead. Review your details, notices and the renewal rules that apply to the property and contract.
Review renewal against the contract and its location.
Before requesting renewal or non-renewal, review the recorded status, term, property location and relevant notices. This helps identify any required action and whether the question concerns continuation, changed details or mutual termination.
What to prepare for a renewal review
- The current contract reference, type, status and start and end dates.
- Property city and correspondence or notices about continuation.
- Details that changed, such as ownership or a representative’s role.
- The precise request: continuation, rent review, non-renewal or mutual termination.
Automatic renewal and notice provisions include specific rules for Riyadh. Do not assume a single notice period or that every renewal needs a new lease; check the official source and recorded situation before taking action.

Steps to prepare and register a leaseQuestions about this service
01Does an Ejar lease renew automatically?
Automatic renewal and notice rules depend on the contract, its term and the property location, with specific provisions for Riyadh. Check the current Ejar rules before issuing a notice or agreeing a rent increase.

Identify the discrepancy and the current contract status before requesting help. The correction process may differ for a draft and a registered contract. Editing an offline copy does not update the official record.

No. Mutual termination concerns both parties agreeing to end and settle a lease. Non-renewal concerns continuation at the end of its term and applicable notice rules. Use the process appropriate to the contract.

Start with the area and unit type. The index presents price ranges, averages and recorded contract counts. Use these as comparison points, then consider your unit’s size, condition and features. Record the filters and period used so the comparison can be reviewed. An average is not a binding valuation of your particular unit or a guaranteed achievable rent.

The index supports market comparison; it does not authorise changing an existing lease. Before proposing an increase, review the property location, contract status and applicable rules and notices, including Riyadh-specific provisions. Keep the market assessment separate from the formal rent-change process. Do not alter the payment schedule or request a different amount solely because of an index reading.
