A property can hold only one active Ejari at a time. If the previous tenant’s Ejari was never cancelled, the system blocks your new registration until that old record is cleared.

How do I clear the previous Ejari?
The old record needs to be cancelled — by the previous tenant or the landlord — after which the new registration can proceed.
Whose job is it to cancel the old Ejari?
Either the previous tenant or the landlord can cancel it. We can help confirm and clear the blockage.
How long does it take to clear and register?
Usually 1–2 business days, depending on the documents and any landlord approval needed.
Educational overview. Cancellation is free through Dubai REST; our fee is for assisted handling. ejaries.ae is an independent service, not a government website.
