Tawtheeq is Abu Dhabi's system for registering tenancy contracts. Through DARI, the landlord enters the contract details and the tenant then receives a notification to accept them or return them with reasons. Ask early who will start the registration and when, so it is not left until the week you move. When the notification arrives, read every detail before accepting, because those details become your registered contract.
Once accepted, keep the registered copy with your tenancy file. If registration stalls, pause and ask why before paying the remaining amounts or booking the movers; a delay at this stage is easier to resolve than after you have moved in. For homes on Al Reem Island or Al Maryah Island, ask which registration route applies.

Each launch comes with its own payment plan, anticipated completion date and set of documents, and the details are easy to blur when several appear within weeks. Make one sheet and use the same columns for every project you consider: payment plan, anticipated completion, unit size, estimated service charges and the documents you received. Leave a cell empty until you ha
You may change banks during a lease, but post-dated rent cheques drawn on the old account cannot be presented once that account is closed. If you plan to switch, tell the landlord early, well before the next cheque date. Agree in writing how the remaining payments will be made: replacement cheques from the new bank or another method the landlord accepts. Exchange the cheques in person or through the broker against a signed receipt, and get the old cheques back or a written confirmation that they have been cancelled. Keep the old account open until the sw
