Commercial Tenancy Contract Help in the UAE
We draft and check commercial tenancy contracts for offices, shops, warehouses and industrial units across the UAE. You tell us the parties, the trade licence activity, the rent and term, and any fit-out or rent-free period. We prepare a contract that matches your permitted use, protects both sides on the clauses that cause commercial disputes, and is ready for commercial Ejari or the registration your emirate requires.

What we handle
A commercial lease is not a residential contract with a different label. The rent is usually paid over fewer cheques, the fit-out and handover terms carry real money, and the permitted use has to match the activity on your trade licence or the licensing authority can reject it. We prepare the contract, confirm the signatory has authority to bind the company, and make sure the clauses that decide a commercial dispute are written clearly rather than left blank.
Clauses that matter in a commercial lease
- Permitted use tied to the exact trade licence activity.
- Fit-out period, rent-free period and handover condition.
- Rent, payment schedule and any rent review at renewal.
- Service charges, chiller and utility responsibility.
- Assignment, subletting and early exit terms.
- Renewal and notice periods for each side.
Documents you need
- Trade licence for the tenant company
- Emirates ID and passport of the authorised signatory
- Owner or landlord details and title deed reference
- Agreed rent, term, cheque split and any incentives
- Unit details, including area and permitted activity
Commercial registration by emirate
In Dubai a commercial lease is registered through commercial Ejari with the Dubai Land Department. In Abu Dhabi it is registered on Tawtheeq through the DMT. Sharjah requires municipality attestation. We prepare the contract to suit the emirate where the unit sits and bridge you to the right registration step.
Prefer to do it yourself?
You can start a draft with the UAE Tenancy Contract Generator and add terms with the Tenancy Addendum Builder. Use our service when the lease carries fit-out, a company signatory or negotiated commercial terms that need to be right.
How it works
Send your details through the form. We prepare or review the contract, confirm the commercial clauses and signatory authority, and bridge you to commercial Ejari or the registration your emirate requires.

Frequently asked questions
How is a commercial tenancy contract different?
The permitted use must match your trade licence, rent is often paid over fewer cheques, and fit-out, service charges and exit terms carry real cost, so those clauses need to be explicit.
Do I need commercial Ejari?
In Dubai a commercial lease is registered through commercial Ejari with the Dubai Land Department. Other emirates use Tawtheeq or municipality attestation.
Who signs for a company?
A signatory authorised to bind the company. We confirm the authority so the contract and registration are not rejected.
Can you draft office, shop and warehouse leases?
Yes. We prepare office, retail, warehouse and industrial leases and align each to the permitted activity on the licence.
What does the service cost?
It depends on the lease and the clauses involved. Send your details for a quote. Government registration fees are set by the authority and stated separately.
