How to Generate a Dubai Tenancy Contract Online (Step-by-Step, 2026)

Last updated 29 April 2026

Generating a tenancy contract in Dubai used to mean visiting a typing centre, waiting in a queue, and paying AED 150–300. Today you can generate the same official DLD Unified Tenancy Contract online in under 3 minutes. This guide walks you through exactly how to do it.

What is the DLD Unified Tenancy Contract?

The DLD Unified Tenancy Contract (version 1.4) is the only officially recognised tenancy contract in Dubai. It is issued by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and mandated by RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency). All residential and commercial rental agreements in Dubai must use this format to be valid for Ejari registration.

What You Need Before You Start

  • Property Title Deed (copy)
  • Landlord's Emirates ID or passport
  • Tenant's Emirates ID or passport
  • Agreed annual rent amount
  • Contract start and end dates
  • Security deposit amount
  • Mode of payment (number of cheques)

Step-by-Step: Generate Your Contract Online

1
Upload Your Documents
Go to tenancycontract.com and upload your title deed and Emirates IDs. Our AI automatically reads the documents and extracts all the relevant details — property number, owner name, plot number, DEWA premises number — saving you from manual typing.
2
Review the Auto-Filled Form
Check all the extracted details on screen. The form covers all required DLD fields: party names, property details, contract period, annual rent, security deposit, and mode of payment. Make any corrections needed.
3
Add Contract Terms
Enter the financial details — annual rent, contract value, security deposit — and select the payment mode (1 cheque, 2 cheques, 4 cheques, etc.). You can also add up to 8 additional special terms.

Download Your PDF
Click Generate Contract. Your official RERA-compliant DLD Unified Tenancy Contract is generated as a PDF immediately. Download it, print it, sign it, and you are ready for Ejari registration.

How Much Does It Cost?

At tenancycontract.com, generating a contract is free. Traditional typing centres in Dubai charge AED 150–300 for the same document. You save the entire fee and avoid the trip.

Before signing, make sure the deposit you write into the contract is within the legal cap — read our guide on security deposit rules in Dubai for the maximum amount, refund timeline, and what your landlord can legally deduct. If you're a landlord, make sure you understand Dubai rent increase rules under RERA before agreeing on a long contract.

Is the Contract Valid for Ejari?

Yes. We use the exact official DLD Unified Tenancy Contract template (v1.4) — the same format required by RERA for Ejari registration. Once signed by both parties, the contract can be registered on Ejari through the Dubai REST app or any RERA typing centre.

For the full step-by-step process, see our complete Ejari registration guide for Dubai, which covers fees, required documents, and how to register online via the Dubai REST app. If you ever need to break the contract before its end date, read our guide on ending a tenancy contract early in Dubai — it covers notice periods, penalty amounts, and your legal options.
