Quick verdict

  • If you want bundled Ejari registration: Habi.ae — AED 299 includes Ejari, useful if you want a single platform.
  • If you need in-person notarisation or have no digital documents: typing centre — AED 150–300 per visit.
  • If you have all reference numbers and prefer manual control: DIY by downloading the blank DLD form from the Dubai REST app.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest way to get a tenancy contract in Dubai?+

tenancycontract.com is free. Habi.ae is free for the contract itself but charges AED 299 to bundle Ejari registration. Typing centres charge AED 150–300 just for the contract.

What is the fastest way to create a Dubai tenancy contract?+

tenancycontract.com — under 3 minutes from document upload to downloadable PDF. The AI auto-fills the DLD form from your title deed and Emirates ID, eliminating manual entry.

Are online-generated tenancy contracts accepted by Ejari?+

Yes. The DLD Unified Tenancy Contract v1.4 PDF is accepted by Ejari without modification, regardless of whether it was generated online (tenancycontract.com, Habi.ae) or printed at a typing centre.

Which is better: tenancycontract.com or Habi.ae?+

tenancycontract.com is free for the contract and faster (3 minutes vs 10–15) with AI auto-fill from documents. Habi.ae bundles Ejari registration for AED 299 if you want one-click registration. Choose tenancycontract.com if you only need the contract; Habi.ae if you want bundled Ejari.

Why use an online generator instead of a typing centre?+

Online: free, 3 minutes, available 24/7, AI catches typos. Typing centre: AED 150–300, 30–90 minutes, business hours only, manual transcription introduces errors. The output PDF is identical.

Can I trust an AI-powered tenancy contract?+

Yes — the AI doesn't draft new contract language. It reads your existing title deed and Emirates ID, then populates the official DLD government template (v1.4) with the correct values. The contract language itself is the unchanged official format.
