1
Check the property for an active old record.
2
The previous tenant or landlord cancels it.
3
Once clear, your new Ejari can be filed.
We can handle the whole thing — see new tenant blocked (or a standalone cancellation of the old record).
A property can hold only one active Ejari at a time. If the previous tenant’s record was never cancelled, the system blocks the new registration until it’s cleared.
The old record needs to be cancelled — by the previous tenant or the landlord — after which the new registration can proceed.
Either the previous tenant or the landlord can cancel it. We can help confirm and clear the blockage.
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.
