Learn how to create and authenticate a Saudi residential lease in Ejar, including the five sections, party requirements, and final review.
To create a residential lease in Ejar, open the contracts menu and select a new residential lease. Complete the five sections covering contract details, parties, financial information, terms and conditions, and properties and units. Preview the contract, review any brokerage agreement, pay the platform fee shown, confirm the declaration, and send it for authentication.
What Is a Residential Lease Contract on Ejar?
A residential lease records the rental relationship between landlord and tenant. It identifies the property or unit, sets out the financial information, and contains the terms acknowledged by the parties. The Ejar platform provides an electronic process that begins with entering these details and ends with sending the contract for authentication.
The official service page describes an Ejar contract as an enforceable instrument. Each field and clause therefore deserves careful review as part of a contractual commitment. Check the identities, property information, financial entries, and terms before confirming the declaration and sending the contract.
The General Real Estate Authority also presents Ejar among its real estate platforms. Consult the official pages for current requirements, since the fields and options shown to a user may depend on the party and the selected process.
What Documents and Details Does Each Party Need?
Requirements depend on each person’s role. Preparing them before starting makes it easier to compare the entries with the underlying documents. Where the service requires a document or registered number, use that record rather than relying on an informal statement.
What Does the Landlord Need?
The official service page lists a valid ID, property ownership documents, and a mobile number registered with Absher for the landlord. An international bank account number, or IBAN, is also required if Sadad is used.
Check that the ownership documents relate to the property being added and that the ID is valid. Use the landlord’s Absher-registered mobile number and verify the IBAN through its banking source. These checks support an accurate review of the party and financial sections.
What Does the Tenant Need?
The tenant needs a valid ID and an Absher-registered mobile number. Before authentication, the tenant should review the other party’s details, the unit description, the financial information, and the terms. The details reviewed during authentication should match those shown in the final preview.
Agreement on rent alone is not a review of the whole contract. Each party needs to read the other sections, particularly the terms and conditions, before acknowledging the complete document.
What Does the Real Estate Broker Need?
When a broker participates in creating the contract, the official requirements listed for brokers include a Saudi ID, an active commercial registration containing brokerage activity, a national address, and completion of the required training. The parties can review the broker’s information and the brokerage agreement within the process before authentication.
Broker involvement does not replace review by the landlord and tenant. Each party should check their own details and obligations and raise any difference between the agreed terms and the displayed entries before confirming the declaration.
What Are the Five Sections of the Contract?
The residential lease creation process contains five ordered sections. Understanding each one gives both parties a practical structure for their review.
Contract details: This section contains the core information for the contract being created. Confirm that a new residential lease is selected and review the displayed entries against the parties’ agreement. Correct any discrepancy in this section rather than assuming it can be addressed after submission.
Contract party details: This section identifies the landlord, tenant, and broker where applicable. Compare names, ID numbers, and contact details with valid documents. Check each person’s role so that landlord, tenant, and broker information remains correctly assigned.
Financial information: This section presents the lease’s financial details and the payment options available in the process. Review the amounts, payment schedule, and any requested bank account. If Sadad is used, verify the landlord’s IBAN in accordance with the official requirement.
Terms and conditions: This section contains the provisions governing the parties’ obligations. Read every clause and make sure each party understands what they will acknowledge. Seek clarification about an unclear or disputed term before proceeding to the declaration.
Properties and units: This section links the contract to the property and residential unit being leased. Match the property information to the ownership documents and check that the unit description identifies the unit the landlord will provide to the tenant.
After completing the sections, review them together. Individual entries may appear correct while another section contains an inconsistent amount, unit, or clause. The preview provides an opportunity to check the contract as a whole.
How Do You Create and Send a Residential Lease for Authentication?
Ejar’s residential lease service sets out a sequence from opening the service to sending the contract for authentication. Follow these steps alongside the options displayed in the user’s account:
Open the contracts menu in Ejar and select new residential lease.
Complete the contract details, then enter the landlord, tenant, and any broker under contract party details.
Review the financial information and complete the requested fields, including the IBAN when Sadad is used.
Read the terms and conditions, then check properties and units and link the contract to the correct unit.
Open the preview before authentication and compare the displayed contract with the documents and the parties’ agreement.
Review the brokerage agreement if a broker is involved, pay the platform fee shown on the page, confirm the declaration, and send the contract for authentication.
This guide does not state a fixed fee amount. The amount displayed by the platform during the relevant step is the reference. Read the declaration before confirming it, and complete the substantive review before sending the contract.
What Should You Check Before Confirming the Declaration?
Use a short final checklist involving both parties. Start with valid IDs and Absher-registered mobile numbers, then check the ownership document and the property and unit description. Review the financial entries and any bank account, followed by the terms and conditions and any brokerage agreement.
If you find an error, return to the relevant section and correct it before submission. Do not rely on an external explanation that conflicts with the contract text. For a material disagreement about a clause, ownership document, or a party’s role, obtain a legal review of the specific circumstances before confirming the declaration.
Keep a record of what was reviewed and return to the official platform when needed. If a requirement changes or an unfamiliar field appears, consult the official Ejar service guide for the published steps and requirements.
What Does the Enforceable-Instrument Description Mean?
The official description gives the contract legal significance beyond a record of information. Neither party should acknowledge entries they have not reviewed or assume that an earlier understanding replaces the completed sections.
Its effect in a particular dispute depends on the facts, documents, and applicable procedure. The contract and related records can be assessed through the firm’s real estate legal services, separately from the electronic data-entry process.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Under the official process, open the contracts menu in Ejar and select a new residential lease. Complete the five sections shown in the service, then use the preview before sending the contract for authentication.
Is Previewing Separate from Authentication?
Yes. The preview allows the parties to review the contract before authentication. Submission follows the review of the details and any brokerage agreement, payment of the fee shown, and confirmation of the declaration. Use the preview to correct discrepancies first.
What Is Required for the Landlord’s and Tenant’s Mobile Numbers?
The official requirements state that both the landlord’s and tenant’s mobile numbers must be registered with Absher. Check that each party uses the correct registered number and can access it during the contract process.
The required fee is displayed within the service before submission for authentication. Check the amount shown in your transaction rather than relying on a figure reported for another contract; this guide does not assume a fixed amount.
Should the Brokerage Agreement Be Reviewed?
Yes. When a broker is involved, the process includes reviewing the brokerage agreement before the contract is sent for authentication. Read it alongside the broker’s details and the lease, and check its consistency with the parties’ agreement.
When Should I Request Legal Review Before Authentication?
Request a review if a clause is unclear, ownership documents conflict, or a party’s role or obligations are uncertain. You can request a real estate legal consultation and provide the contract and relevant documents for assessment.
How Can You Get Help Reviewing the Contract?
Before authentication, gather the draft lease, ownership documents, party details, and any brokerage agreement if you need the clauses or records reviewed. The firm’s real estate services can examine the facts and documents, or you can use the real estate legal consultation page.
