Leases and rent in Sharjah
The Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department handles property registration, and residential and commercial leases are attested by Sharjah Municipality. A 2022 law opened freehold ownership in designated projects to all nationalities, which has added investor-owned units to many leasing portfolios. RealMake records the attestation on each contract and applies the rent increase rule your team sets in line with current regulations. UAE VAT is 5%, applied as your tax advisor sets it for each charge. For Sharjah landlords with revenue of AED 50 million or more, e-invoicing goes live on 1 January 2027, and for others on 1 July 2027.
