In terms of registration, which entity oversees the documentation of rental agreements?

The responsibility for overseeing the documentation of rental agreements lies primarily with the landlord. This means that the landlord is tasked with ensuring that the rental agreement is properly drafted, executed, and compliant with local laws and regulations. It is in the landlord's best interest to maintain accurate and legally sound agreements to protect their rights and obligations and ensure a smooth rental process.

While there are various other parties involved in the rental process, such as tenants and real estate brokers, their roles are different. The tenant typically reviews and signs the contract but does not have control over the creation or formal registration of the agreement. Real estate brokers facilitate the transaction but do not take on the legal responsibility for registering rental agreements. The Dubai Municipality is involved in overseeing compliance with housing laws and standards, rather than managing individual rental agreements. Therefore, the landlord's role is pivotal in ensuring that all documentation related to rental agreements is handled appropriately.
