The Home Contract serves as the primary legal instrument for establishing and managing residential tenancy relationships in Saudi Arabia. This document is essential for any residential property lease arrangement and must comply with both Saudi civil law and Shariah principles. It includes mandatory provisions required by the Ministry of Housing and the Ejar system, while also accommodating customizable terms based on specific property characteristics and party requirements. The agreement is typically used for residential properties including apartments, villas, and compound units, requiring registration through the official Ejar platform. Recent reforms in Saudi real estate laws, particularly those aligned with Vision 2030, have standardized many aspects of home contracts to ensure better protection for both landlords and tenants.
