Tawtheeq Contract Abu Dhabi: What is it? How to apply? Procedure, documents required

What is Tawtheeq Abu Dhabi?

A Tawtheeq is required if you want to rent out property in the United Arab Emirates. It’s a government registration of your lease contract aimed to formalize agreements and improve openness between landlords and renters to help avoid disputes.

Who should apply?

  • Anyone renting a house in Abu Dhabi or the surrounding area is covered by the system, which is designed to safeguard and support both parties.
  • Tawtheeq is obligated by law to register the tenancy contract of property owners and management businesses in the catchment area.

Why it is mandatory in Abu Dhabi?

  • To connect your power and water to the Abu Dhabi Distribution Company, you must have a registered and current Tawtheeq contract (ADDC).
  • It will be more difficult to get renters for your rental home if you cannot furnish a Tawtheeq. As a result of this, there may be longer vacancies and lower rental rates.
  • Legal Tawtheeq contracts are required for many renters, including government personnel and those who want to sponsor a family member for a residency permit.

  • Account opening form
  • A copy of the owner’s valid passport, as well as the signature of the person authorized to sign on their behalf.
  • A copy of the authorized signatory or representative’s Emirates ID card is required.
  • For UAE nationals, a copy of the owner’s family book will suffice.
  • A document of the legal representative’s power of attorney
  • If a corporation owns the trade license, a copy of it.
  • a certified copy of the owner’s notarized signature (in cases where the property owner has opted for such)

Procedure to register for Tawtheeq in Abu Dhabi?
