Sharjah shop rent contracts go online

Sharjah Municipality has announced that its commercial tenancy contract attestation service has now been activated on its website.

"This initiative came into effect after the success of the system of online attestation of residential contracts that has been available for more than a year", said Khalid Al Shamsi, Director of Rent Regulatory Department at the Sharjah Municipality.

He added that the municipality has launched a range of new services as part of its keenness to facilitate its services and in response to requests of real estate offices and tenants to transfer normal services into electronic and smart services.

"We have increased the number of dispute settlement committees to hasten the process of litigation and the provision of services. A number of conciliation committees have been formed to help settle disputes between landlords and tenants before filing complaints by either party," he said.

Al Shamsi revealed that a Sharjah police office will be set up at the dispute settlement committees to ensure rapid execution of rulings and to facilitate the relevant services.

Al Shamsi also pointed out that more than 270,000 contracts were attested at the Rent Regulatory Department during the last year. He called on landlords and tenants to make sure that they get their tenancy contracts attested to protect and preserve their rights as the attested contract is the main document which will be considered in any litigation.
