Who is responsible to pay the admin fee for tenancy contract renewal in UAE?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am in the process of renewing my tenancy contract and the agent is claiming AED 1000 administration fee for the renewal. This was not stipulated in the contractual agreement that was signed for the current rental term.
Am I responsible to pay this admin fee?
From my understanding, the landlord is responsible for paying the admin fee for renewal. Is this correct?
Please note that this is for the combined tenancy agreement only and not for the EJARI. I have the responsibility to renew the EJARI.
