Ejar
The Ejar system was introduced by the Ministry of Housing and made it mandatory for all real estate firms to join its electronic Ijar system that seeks to regulate the rental market with measures to protect the rights of landlords and tenants, and control rents.
The system defines the rights of tenants and landlords by having both parties sign a rental agreement via the Ijar network.
According to the Ministry of Labor and Social Development, rent contract registration with electronic Ejar system is mandatory for the issuance and renewal of work permits for non-Saudis.
