Habi is a digital platform designed for landlords in Dubai to streamline and automate essential tasks in rental management. It enables landlords to easily create, e-sign, and renew RERA-compliant tenancy contracts, manage multiple rentals on a single dashboard, track important tenancy dates and payments, and ensure compliance with Dubai’s Real Estate Regulations.
Habi is designed for landlords and tenants in Dubai involved in renting residential properties on a long-term basis. It’s particularly beneficial for landlords managing multiple residential properties who seek an efficient way to oversee their rental portfolio.
To get started with Habi, visit app.habi.ae and sign up using your email address, UAE Pass, or Google. Once registered, you can immediately begin creating tenancy contracts. Landlords can also add their existing tenancy contracts to benefit from automated reminders, rental income tracking, and other built-in property management tools that simplify rental oversight.
Log in to your Habi account, navigate to the Leases section, and click on Create Contract. Follow the guided steps to enter property details, tenant information, and contract terms. The platform will generate a RERA-compliant tenancy contract ready for e-signature.
Currently, Habi allows you to create tenancy contracts for residential properties only. Support for commercial properties is under development and will be available soon.
After preparing and reviewing the contract, enter your tenant’s email address when prompted. Habi will send them an invitation email with instructions to register and sign the contract electronically.
You don’t need to set anything; our system automatically schedules all reminders once the contract becomes active. You’ll receive email reminders about upcoming rent payments and 90-day renewal notices 5 days in advance and on the day of the event.
No, once all parties have signed the contract, it becomes legally binding and cannot be edited. If changes are needed, you can draft a new contract to reflect the updated terms.
