The Public Authority for Civil Information (PACI) is working on a new online system to streamline rental contracts in commercial and investment buildings, PACI Acting Director, Mansour Al-Medhen said in an interview to Al Rai Arabic daily.

According to the plan, the landlord and tenant will sign the new rental contract electronically. Tenants will only be able to prove their residence through the electronic contracts issued by the platform. Landlords are required to report new tenants and those who vacating the property through this platform.

This new mechanism will help regulate the addresses on civil ID cards. The electronic contract between landlord and tenant will ensure that addresses are accurately recorded for both citizens and residents, eliminating the need for paper contracts except in exceptional cases.
