Dubai Tenancy Contract Template
The Dubai tenancy contract template is the Dubai Land Department unified format used for residential and commercial rentals. You can view the official template on the DLD, and you can generate a filled draft from your own details and download it as a PDF or Word file to sign.
What the template includes
| Section | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Parties | Tenant and landlord or lessor, with Emirates ID and contact details. |
| Property | Area, building, unit, Makani, DEWA premise number, and title deed reference. |
| Term | Start and end dates and whether it is new or a renewal. |
| Rent and payment | Annual rent, number of cheques, and payment dates. |
| Deposit and responsibilities | Security deposit and the split of DEWA, cooling and maintenance. |
PDF or Word format
People look for the template in both PDF and Word. A PDF is easy to print and sign. A Word file is easy to edit before you finalise it. The generator produces a filled draft in either format from the details you enter, so you are not starting from a blank form.
Using the template correctly
Enter names exactly as they appear on the Emirates ID and the title deed, keep the dates consistent, and make sure the rent and cheque totals agree. Then confirm your registration file with the Ejari Document Checker and screen for issues with the Ejari Rejection Checker before you register.
