Close and activate property services
Coordinate the old and new tenancy dates, Ejari records and utility accounts. Take meter readings, keep final bills and document the condition of both properties. DEWA activation may require the new Ejari record and its published deposits and charges should be checked at the time of moving.
Update formal records
Tell your bank, insurer, employer, school and any relevant government service that uses your residential details. Requirements differ by institution, so use official apps or contact channels rather than sending identity documents to an unverified address.
Catch everyday accounts
Update delivery apps, telecoms, subscriptions, vehicle services and regular suppliers. Redirect important correspondence where available and ask the old building reception how undelivered items are handled. Keep the old tenancy and closure receipts in one file.
Practical checklist
- Ejari and tenancy records

Official reference: DEWA move-in and Ejari information. Rules, fees and procedures can change. Confirm the current position before making a final decision.
