For many years, the real estate rental sector in the Kingdom suffered from the chaos of undocumented customary paper contracts.
These traditional contracts lacked clarity, leading to courts being clogged with thousands of disputes between landlords and tenants.
Landlords struggled to recover properties from delaying tenants, while tenants lived at the mercy of sudden rent hikes.
With the Kingdom's vision and digital transformation, the "Ejar" platform emerged as a radical solution restoring balance to this vital sector.
The platform didn't just regulate the relationship; it turned the rental contract into an enforceable legal power preventing manipulation.
Importance of the Unified E-Contract
Documenting the contract via Ejar offers fundamental benefits, making real estate dealings completely safe:
- Executive Document: The authenticated contract is an enforceable deed, saving the landlord from filing lengthy lawsuits to recover rights.
- Tenant Protection: It prevents the landlord from arbitrary actions, like cutting electricity or requesting early eviction without cause.
- Transparency: The contract accurately documents the property's condition and financial obligations linked to verified national IDs.
Legal Eviction and Claim Procedures
If the tenant breaches contract conditions, especially rent payment, procedures are now swift and decisive:
- Filing an Execution Request: The landlord logs into Najiz to file a financial execution or eviction request based on the contract.
- Eviction Grace Period: The execution court issues an order, granting a short statutory period to pay or vacate voluntarily.
- Forced Eviction: If the period expires without response, police intervene to forcefully evict and return the property to the owner.
