Contract Amendment

Contract amendment under Saudi law is changing one of the rental contract clauses during its term, with both parties' approval, documenting the amendment in the Ejar platform to become legally effective. Amendment maintains flexibility in the rental relationship and allows adaptation to changing circumstances. Most common amendments: changing rent amount (down in market downturn, or up by agreement), modifying payment mechanism (from annual to monthly), adding or removing a co-tenant, modifying the deposit, adding a new clause not originally noted (such as pet policy), or changing the description of property fixtures (such as adding furniture). The Ejar Platform Regulation requires electronic documentation of every amendment; no verbal or paper amendment outside the platform is recognized. Upon documenting the amendment, the Ejar database updates, amendments reflect on the payment system if needed, and the contract remains effective under new terms from the amendment date.
