Dubai Land Department (DLD) said its ‘Ejari’ smart application protects the rights of all parties in the real estate sector, including the property owners and tenants and also the management companies.

Following new upgrades by DLD, the application has gained an even higher level of efficiency in boosting user productivity, reducing the cost and time needed to complete lease registrations, and most importantly, consolidating transparency in Dubai’s real estate sector, said the statement from the department.

The Ejari application is a tool that allows both landlords and tenants to manage maintenance contracts and create related paperwork.

It also allows property management companies to register and manage personnel and maintenance requests and contracts, and also classifies all companies registered in the system, it stated.

Commenting on the upgrades, Mohamed Yahya, the deputy executive director of the Rental Affairs Sector at DLD, said: "The 'Ejari' application has significantly increased the efficiency of the lease contract management process. It has also helped to reduce the cost of the procedures as well as the time required to complete them."

"Tools such as ‘Ejari’ are at the heart of our vision, which is to establish trust among our customers and ensure their happiness in all their transactions with us, as well as in their lives, work and residence in Dubai, in line with the aspirations of our wise leadership," he stated.

According to him, it enhances the flexibility of various lease application management processes including creating, renewing and terminating leases.

"With continuous improvements based on the latest developments and the needs of both the market and customers, it is now possible for all parties to obtain instant information on the details of leasing operations," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
