ESSENTIAL DOCUMENTS FOR EJARI CANCELLATION VIA THE REAL ESTATE TRUSTEES CENTRE

You will need the following to cancel Ejari:

  • Emirates ID for both parties
  • Certificate from Ejari
  • The passport of the tenant
  • The landlord’s No Objection Certificate (NOC)
  • The tenant’s most recent DEWA bill
  • Original tenancy agreement
  • A letter of termination from the property owner

If you’re a corporate tenant, remember to provide Emirates ID and trade license copies for both the owner and manager. Include a copy of your Ejari certificate; if not available, use the tenancy contract instead.

The following information should be included in the Ejari cancellation NOC letter:

  • Name of the landlord
  • Building title
  • DEWA premise number
  • Plot number
  • Personal information of the tenant
  • A statement of vacancy
  • Signature of the landlord (matching the signature on his passport)
  • The company seal (if the landlord is a company)

TO BE AWARE

The crucial step in Ejari cancellation is submitting the final DEWA bill. If there are any outstanding invoices, the cancellation process remains incomplete. Ensure that a physical copy of the bill is stamped with ‘Final Bill’ and ‘Paid,’ or alternatively, submit a copy of the ‘Green Bill’ from the DEWA website.

DOCUMENTS NEEDED TO CANCEL EJARI VIA THE APP

  • A copy of the unified tenancy agreement

EJARI CANCELLATION SUPPLEMENTARY DOCUMENTS

In unique situations, additional documentation may be necessary. For instance, if the property was sold during the tenancy, and the buyer assumed the lease, a title document is required. If the new owner is not a UAE resident, they must also submit a copy of their Emirates ID or a valid passport.

In cases where a landlord’s representative signed the tenancy agreement, the representative must present a Power of Attorney authorizing them to sign on the owner’s behalf. Additionally, the representative should provide their Emirates ID, residence visa, or passport
