Ejar Fees

Ejar Fees are the monetary consideration calculated for authenticating the rental contract on the Ejar platform, paid to the platform operator who manages it under the supervision of the General Authority for Real Estate. They differ from commissions paid to brokers or state taxes, and are considered a direct service cost linked to the issuance of the authenticated electronic contract. The fees are calculated at a unified value on most residential contracts with VAT at 15% applied to them. For commercial contracts, fees may vary based on rental value and the nature of use. The fees are split between the lessor and lessee according to the agreement defined when creating the contract; typically split equally, fully borne by the lessee, or borne by the lessor based on prevailing market practice. The fees can be paid electronically via the SADAD gateway linked to Ejar, and the system issues a direct notification upon payment and links it to the contract. The contract is not considered fully effective until fees are paid. Upon contract renewal, new fees are calculated for the new period. Upon contract termination before its period ends, fees are not refunded because they are consideration for a service already provided (authentication and issuance).
