Do I need to register my rental contract in Bahrain, and what does it cost?

Leases are registered with the Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Waqf through the Lease Contract Services on bahrain.bh. Either the landlord or the tenant can register a residential or commercial lease there. Cost: 5 BD for a residential lease and 10 BD for a commercial lease. How: sign in with a Standard eKey, enter the contract details and pay online. The same service lets you look up and, where allowed, edit a registered contract, and anyone can check that a registered contract is valid. Register it before you deal with utilities: EWA asks a tenant for the lease and its registration receipt before it will open an electricity and water account in their name. Steps · Get a Standard eKey if you do not have one. · Open Lease Contract Services on bahrain.bh and choose Lease Contract Registration. · Enter the lease details and pay 5 BD (residential) or 10 BD (commercial). · Keep the registration receipt for EWA and other services.
