Ejari Cancellation in Dubai: How to Cancel Online (Dubai Now Steps, 2026)
Last updated 25 October 2026
Cancelling Ejari closes the registered tenancy so the owner can register a new tenant and the tenant can register a new home. Here are the official steps from the Dubai Land Department, plus the legal rules that decide whether you can end the contract at all.
Step-by-step: cancel Ejari on Dubai Now
1
Owner logs in
Open the Dubai Now app, go to Property Wallet and select the property.
2
Choose 'Cancel Tenancy Contract'
Complete the required fields and submit the termination request to the tenant.
3
Tenant approves
The tenant logs in, reviews the request and approves or declines it.
4
Owner is notified
The owner receives the tenant's decision. Both parties sign electronically with UAE PASS.
You need a valid Emirates ID and UAE PASS. The DLD page states that no document is issued for the cancellation itself.
Can you end the contract early?
A valid tenancy contract cannot be terminated unilaterally during its term by the landlord or the tenant; it ends by mutual consent or as the law allows. Many contracts include an early-termination clause (for example, a notice period and a penalty) — that clause is what you have agreed to.
In the Dubai Now app: the owner logs in to Property Wallet, selects the property, chooses 'Cancel Tenancy Contract', completes the fields and submits. The tenant reviews and approves or declines, and the owner gets a notification (Dubai Land Department).
Who starts the Ejari cancellation?
On Dubai Now the owner submits the termination request and the tenant approves it. If you are a tenant moving out, ask your landlord or property manager to start it.
What do I need to cancel Ejari?
A valid Emirates ID and UAE PASS for electronic signing, per the DLD service page. Typing centres and Real Estate Services Trustee centres may ask for more (contract copy, final DEWA bill, NOC) — check with the centre first.
Is there a fee to cancel Ejari?
The DLD's Dubai Now service page does not list a cancellation fee. Service centres can charge their own service fee, so ask before you go.
Can I cancel my tenancy contract early?
Only by mutual agreement or under the law: Article 7 of Law 26 of 2007 says a valid contract cannot be terminated unilaterally during its term. Check your contract's early-termination clause.
