It has also reduced the cost and time required to complete lease registrations. Thanks to the regular improvements we make to the application, our customers can access instant information on the details of their leasing operations."

Yahya added, "The ‘Ejari’ application is a tool that enables both landlords and tenants to manage and apply for maintenance contracts. It classifies maintenance companies that are registered in the system for the convenience of tenants, while also allowing maintenance companies to register requests and contracts."

The ‘Ejari’ application can be used around the clock and from anywhere in the world to issue approved rental contracts and receipts, and also provides users with renewal, eviction and litigation alerts.
