To qualify for a tenancy agreement in Dubai, both tenants and landlords need to provide specific documents that comply with local regulations. Here's a detailed list of the required documents:

For Tenants:

1. Emirates ID: A copy of your Emirates ID is mandatory if you are a UAE resident.
   
   

2. Passport Copy: You need to provide a copy of your passport as proof of identity.
   
   

3. Valid Residence Visa: If you are a resident, a copy of your valid residence visa is required.
   
   

4. Security Deposit: A check for the security deposit is usually required, which is typically 5% of the annual rent.
   
   

5. Agency Fee: If you're using a real estate agent, a check for the agency fee (usually 5% of the annual rent) is also required.
   
   

For Landlords:

1. Title Deed: Proof of ownership of the property, usually in the form of a title deed.
   
   

2. Passport Copy: A copy of the landlord's passport is required.
   
   

3. Ejari Registration: The tenancy contract must be registered with Ejari, which ensures the lease is recorded with the Dubai Land Department.
   
   

Additional Requirements:

• Ejari Registration Form: This form is necessary for the tenancy agreement to be recognized by the authorities. It can be completed online or at an authorized typing center.
  
  

• DEWA Account Details: Both the landlord and tenant should ensure that utility connections are managed properly, which often requires the transfer of DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority) accounts.
  
  

Having these documents ready will ensure a smooth process when entering into a tenancy agreement in Dubai. Proper documentation is key to avoiding any legal issues and ensuring both parties are protected under Dubai's rental laws.
