Country notes
United Arab Emirates
Leases are registered with the emirate’s system (Ejari in Dubai, Tawtheeq in Abu Dhabi); rent-increase rules vary by emirate.
Court documents are prepared in Arabic. Each country (and in the UAE, each emirate or free-zone court) has its own forms, deadlines and filing portal; the lawyer adapts the document accordingly.
Documents in other languages may need a certified legal translation before they can be filed. Government, court, translation and notary fees are not included and are paid separately at cost.

FAQs
Can a tenant sub-lease?+
Usually only with the landlord’s written consent. The agreement can set the conditions.
Will it work with the official registration form?+
Yes. Additional terms are prepared as an addendum that sits alongside the official form where one is required.
What if I don’t have every document on the list?+
Upload what you have. The lawyer will tell you what is essential and what can be described instead; the delivery time starts once the essentials are received.
Are court or government fees included?+
No. The package covers the lawyer’s work only. Any court, government, translation or notary fees are paid separately at cost.
