From your first apartment to a residential portfolio. Put the property, payments and responsibilities into focus.
Residential lease registration starts with the unit.
For apartments, villas and residential units, start with the property and landlord and tenant details. Clarify the support required and the documents before drafting, review and the official Ejar procedures.
Details to review in a residential lease
- An address, description and unit number that distinguish it from other units in the building.
- Rent, term and instalments, with any security deposit recorded separately.
- Meter information, facilities and keys at move-in and handover.
- Maintenance responsibilities and additional terms before approval.
For several units, prepare separate property and tenant records. A service request does not establish completed registration; check the contract status in Ejar after the procedure.
What is the next step?
Start with the property type, city and contract status. We clarify the scope, requirements and quote; you then review the details before any official approvals. Keep sensitive documents out of the initial enquiry.

Ejar explains that leaving a deposit unspecified does not prevent registration. If a deposit is agreed, it must be recorded and held through Ejar’s service. Review it separately from rent and service charges. Before approval, check the recorded amount and handover arrangements; not every advance payment is a security deposit.
