In a significant move to support tenants, the Sharjah Executive Council has approved a comprehensive settlement for unauthorized lease contracts. Effective from November 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, tenants who regularize expired leases signed before September 19, 2024, will benefit from a 50% reduction in authentication fees and a complete waiver of administrative fines. This initiative applies to all lease types, including residential, commercial, industrial, and investment agreements. The decision aligns with the implementation of Law No. (5) of 2024 on real estate leasing and its executive regulations. Additionally, the Council greenlit the Hasad Center project, aimed at bolstering food security, advancing the agricultural sector, and aiding local farmers. The center will serve as a hub for collecting and distributing fruits and vegetables, streamlining support for producers. The meeting, chaired by Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, also reviewed plans for the 54th UAE National Day celebrations, emphasizing national unity and cultural heritage. These measures underscore Sharjah’s dedication to fostering economic growth, supporting residents, and celebrating national achievements, in line with the vision of Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah.
