Hello!

You need to thoroughly check your existing contract, especially regarding cancellation requirements like notice to the landlord and clearance of all utility bills.

Hello,

You must provide written notice to your landlord (if you are the tenant) or to the tenant (if you are the landlord), in accordance with the terms of your lease agreement.

The notice should include the reason for termination and your intent to vacate the property. If the property is still under a long-term lease, both the tenant and landlord may be required to follow additional steps to ensure the termination process is handled properly.

It’s always advisable to go over the terms and conditions in the lease agreement to avoid potential disputes.

If you’re facing any issues with terminating the contract or resolving disputes with the landlord/tenant, you may need to file a dispute at the Rental Dispute Center to settle any unresolved matters.

Terminating an Ejari contract in Dubai involves specific procedures and required documentation. Ejari cancellation can be done online through the Dubai Land Department (DLD) website or the Dubai REST app.

The documents may include Emirates IDs of both the tenant and landlord, the original tenancy contract, and the latest DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority) bill (final bill, paid).

If you're terminating the Ejari contract before its expiry date, ensure that you comply with the terms of your tenancy agreement regarding early termination.

If you need further clarification, you may ask us.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for reaching out regarding the termination of your Ejari contract!

Below is a step-by-step guide outlining the necessary documents and procedures required to successfully terminate your Ejari agreement and proceed with leasing a new space:

Steps to Terminate an Ejari Contract:

1. Obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) or Ejari Cancellation Letter: Request an NOC or a cancellation letter from your landlord. This document should include:

- Property details,

- Tenant’s name,

- Reason for cancellation,

- Date of cancellation.

Ensure that the landlord signs this document, as it is required for the cancellation process.

2. Prepare the Required Documents: To initiate the Ejari cancellation, you will need the following:

- A copy of the landlord’s passport with signature page or Emirates ID,

- Your Emirates ID (or passport if applicable),

- The original tenancy contract,

- Proof that all outstanding dues (e.g., rent, utility bills) have been settled.

3. Initiate the Cancellation Process: You can cancel your Ejari through one of the following methods:

- Real Estate Services Trustee Centers: Visit a Trustee Center to complete the cancellation in person.

- Online Platforms: Use the Dubai REST app, Dubai Now app, or Dubai Land Department (DLD) website for online cancellation.

4. Submit the Ejari Cancellation Form:

Fill out the Ejari cancellation form accurately, providing all required details and attaching the supporting documents.

5. Pay the Cancellation Fee:

If canceling through a Trustee Center, you will need to pay a fee of AED 40 plus VAT. Online cancellations are free of charge.

6. Receive Confirmation:

Once the process is complete, you will receive an Ejari Termination ID via email as confirmation of successful cancellation.

Additional Considerations:

- Utility Providers: Notify relevant utility providers (e.g., DEWA) about the termination to ensure there are no future billing issues.

- New Lease Registration: Once your current Ejari is canceled, you can proceed with registering a new Ejari for your new property.

By following these steps and ensuring all required documents are in order, you can smoothly terminate your existing Ejari contract and move forward with leasing a new space.

Should you require further assistance or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

Terminating an Ejari contract requires following the proper legal procedures to avoid any disputes or penalties. Generally, you will need:

- Early Termination Clause: Check if your lease agreement includes a termination clause and any penalties associated with it.

- Notice Period: Most contracts require a formal notice period before termination.

- Mutual Agreement or Legal Grounds: If both parties agree, termination can be smoother. Otherwise, legal grounds may be needed.

- Final Utility & Dues Clearance: Ensure all outstanding bills (DEWA, chiller, etc.) are settled.

- Ejari Cancellation Request: This is done through the Dubai Land Department system, often requiring NOC from the landlord.

Each case can vary depending on contract terms and landlord cooperation. I can guide you through the process and ensure your rights are protected.

Please reach out to me via WhatsApp or phone to discuss your specific situation and proceed with the termination smoothly.

To terminate a lease, review the contract terms to determine the terms of early termination, as there may be financial obligations or prior notices that must be provided to the landlord.

Typically, early termination requires written consent from both parties and payment of any outstanding fees, such as remaining rent or early termination penalties, according to the contract.

It is best to formally contact the landlord or property management company to request termination, with all correspondence documented.

If there is a requirement for a bank guarantee or security check, it should be negotiated for its refund after the property is handed over in its agreed-upon condition.

It is also advisable to consult legal authorities or the Land Department in the event of a dispute to ensure compliance with regulations.
