Termination of Commercial Lease Due to Ejari Data Error
The case concerns a commercial lease documented on the “Ejari” platform with data inconsistent with reality: the property was registered as a single unit despite comprising eight units. That prevented the tenant from fully occupying and subletting the premises. CounselO reviewed the case and filed a claim for termination while reserving financial rights. The matter concluded with termination through a binding judicial settlement, achieving the client's practical objective and preserving her financial claims.

The matter
Issue: A material error existed in the lease data documented on the “Ejari” platform: the property was recorded as a single unit though it actually comprised eight commercial units, preventing the tenant from full use and subletting. Challenge: The contract data could not be amended after documentation, while the tenant remained obliged to pay rent for the entire property despite inability to exploit all units, requiring a legal route to obtain termination and preserve financial rights.
