What is the Unified Lease System and what does it mean for tenants?
In light of the rapid developments in the real estate sector, the Unified Lease System stands out as an essential tool for organizing the relationship between the landlord and the tenant. This system aims to achieve transparency and fairness, and to standardize procedures and laws related to lease contracts. It is no longer about traditional lease contracts that may contain vague or unclear clauses, but rather we are facing an integrated system that protects the rights of all parties.
The Unified Lease System aims to simplify and unify the legal procedures related to lease contracts in all regions, which reduces legal disputes and saves the time and effort of tenants and landlords alike. [Image: A diagram illustrating the provisions of the Unified Lease System]
The most prominent amendments to tenants’ rights by 2025
As 2025 approaches, significant changes loom on the horizon regarding tenants’ rights. These amendments are not mere formal changes, but rather radical transformations aimed at enhancing the protection of tenants and providing a more stable rental environment.
1. New guarantees to protect the deposit
The security deposit has always been a source of concern for tenants. The Unified Lease System provides new mechanisms to ensure the timely and complete recovery of the deposit, provided that the terms of the contract are adhered to. The system includes arbitration mechanisms in the event of disputes regarding the deposit, which guarantees tenants’ rights to a greater extent.

The amendments also include setting a specific time period within which the landlord must return the deposit, otherwise he will bear specific penalties. The system also allows the tenant to file an official complaint in the event of the landlord’s delay in returning the deposit.
Practical example: The tenant (Ahmed) was facing difficulty in recovering his deposit from the previous landlord. Thanks to the Unified Lease System, Ahmed was able to recover his deposit in full within a short period of time and without entering into complicated legal procedures.
2. Clear conditions for rent increase
Sudden rent increases are among the most common problems facing tenants. The Unified Lease System places strict controls on rent increases, so that the increase is linked to specific and transparent standards. Increases must be clearly justified and documented, and the landlord may not increase the rent arbitrarily.
The system aims to achieve a balance between the rights of the landlord and the tenant, so that the landlord gets a reasonable return on his investment, and at the same time the tenant gets protection from unjustified increases.

Statistic: A study conducted by Afaq Real Estate Academy revealed that 60% of tenants suffered from unjustified rent increases before the implementation of the Unified Lease System.
3. Greater protection from arbitrary eviction
The Unified Lease System grants tenants greater protection from arbitrary eviction. The landlord can no longer evict the tenant except in specific cases clearly stipulated in the law, such as non-payment of rent or damage to the property.
The landlord must give the tenant prior notice before eviction with sufficient time, and if the eviction is unjustified, the tenant has the right to file a lawsuit for compensation. The system also provides arbitration mechanisms in the event of disputes regarding eviction.
Case study: The tenant (Fatima) was able to stay in her apartment thanks to the Unified Lease System, after the landlord tried to evict her arbitrarily on the pretext that he needed the apartment.
4. Unified and clear lease contracts
The Unified Lease System requires the use of unified and clear lease contracts, which include all the rights and obligations of both parties. These contracts reduce the possibility of disputes between the landlord and the tenant due to misunderstanding or ambiguity in the terms of the contract.
Unified contracts must include complete details about the value of the rent, payment terms, maintenance and repair terms, terms of renewing or terminating the contract, and other important matters. [Sample: A sample of a unified lease contract approved by the Unified Lease System]
Quote from a real estate expert at Afaq Real Estate Academy: “The unification of lease contracts represents an important step towards achieving justice and transparency in the real estate sector. Tenants and landlords alike must be fully aware of their rights and obligations stipulated in the unified contracts.”
5. Effective dispute resolution mechanisms
The Unified Lease System provides effective and rapid mechanisms for resolving disputes that may arise between the landlord and the tenant. This includes arbitration committees and courts specializing in rental cases.
These mechanisms aim to resolve disputes amicably and quickly, and reduce the need to resort to courts for long periods. The system also provides tenants and landlords with alternative options for settling disputes, such as mediation and conciliation.
Statistic: Statistics showed that the number of cases related to rent decreased by 30% after the implementation of the Unified Lease System, thanks to the effective dispute resolution mechanisms.
