Article 1: Recitals and definitions

1.1 Whereas the Landlord owns the furnished apartment below, and the Tenant wishes to rent it, the parties agree as follows.

1.2 The recitals and schedules form an integral part of this Contract and are read with it. In a conflict, this Contract prevails, then the schedules in numerical order.

1.3 "Business Day" means any day other than Friday, Saturday and an official holiday in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. "Laws" means the laws and regulations in force in the Kingdom.

1.4 The Landlord shall register this Contract on the Ejar network within the statutory period and the Tenant may ask for it to be registered; an unregistered lease has no standing where registration is required. Either party may object to the registration details before the Real Estate General Authority within 60 days of being told of the registration, failing which they stand as correct. Where this text differs from the unified Ejar contract, Ejar prevails on mandatory matters.

1.5 Each party confirms that it has legal capacity to contract, that its signatory is authorised, and that entering into this Contract breaches no other obligation binding on it.

3.4 Elsewhere, rent rises on renewal only by agreement under the Laws, or as the competent authority decides.
