The Importance of Registering the Rental Contract on Ejar

Registration through Ejar is mandatory in most cases, and grants the contract enforceable force noticeably speeding up litigation procedures when a dispute arises, compared to an unregistered contract needing a slower judicial path to even prove its existence.

Eviction Lawsuits for the Landlord

We help landlords file eviction lawsuits through the judicial system linked to the Ejar platform, whether the eviction reason is the contract's term ending or the tenant breaching their obligations like non-payment of rent.

Claiming Overdue Rent

We help landlords claim overdue rent through relatively fast procedures for registered contracts, determining the most suitable path based on the due amount's size and delay duration.

Tenants' Defense Against Unwarranted Claims

We help tenants defend against eviction or rent claims they believe are unwarranted, such as cases where rent was actually paid without sufficient documentation, or disputes over maintenance obligations owed by the landlord.

Commercial and Industrial Real Estate Lease Disputes

We handle commercial and industrial real estate lease disputes, where statutory terms differ from residential rental contracts, especially regarding advance notice periods and structural maintenance obligations.

Maintenance and Contractual Obligation Disputes

We help parties resolve disputes over who bears maintenance responsibility, whether simple periodic maintenance borne by the tenant or fundamental structural maintenance falling on the landlord per the contract and relevant regulations.

Early Contract Termination and Both Parties' Rights

We help parties understand their rights when a rental contract is terminated early, whether by the landlord or tenant, and whether this termination warrants compensation to the other party per contract terms.

Rent Increases Upon Renewal

We help parties understand statutory restrictions on rent increases upon contract renewal, and resolve any dispute arising over an increase a tenant believes is unjustified or violates applicable regulations.

Security Deposit Disputes and Refunds at Lease End

We help parties resolve security deposit refund disputes at contract end, especially when a landlord withholds part of it claiming damages not properly documented at the property's initial and final handover.
