ZenHR x Ejari: Making Rent in Saudi Arabia Easier Than Ever

Written by Amanee Hasan | 315/November/2025

ZenHR x Ejari

Anyone who’s ever rented knows how stressful it can be: huge upfront payments, endless paperwork, and back-and-forth approvals.

That’s exactly what Ejari set out to change. And now, through ZenHR’s new integration, employees across Saudi Arabia can finally enjoy a smoother, more flexible way to rent, all without leaving the ZenHR Mobile App.

 

So, What Is Ejari?

Ejari is a trusted digital platform licensed by the Real Estate General Authority (REGA) that simplifies how people rent homes in Saudi Arabia.

Instead of paying a full year’s rent upfront, Ejari pays the landlord on your behalf, then lets you repay monthly, 12 simple payments, no stress, no paperwork.

Here’s what that means for tenants:

Move in right away: no need to wait or save for an entire year’s rent.

Pay monthly: 6 or 12 payments instead of one large lump sum.

All digital: apply, sign, and track your rent from your phone.

Transparent and secure: fully compliant under REGA’s leasing framework.

Ejari makes renting simpler, smarter, and built for real life, and now it’s available directly inside ZenHR.

How ZenHR’s Integration with Ejari Works

ZenHR users in Saudi Arabia can now access Ejari’s services directly through the ZenHR Mobile App; no need to switch between platforms or deal with a single piece of paperwork.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Employee logs in to the ZenHR Mobile App.
  2. Inside the app, they’ll find the Ejari option under integrated services.
  3. They can apply for tenancy services (including “rent now, pay later” options) with just a few taps.
  4. Ejari handles the rest, reviewing eligibility, processing the request, and managing payment schedules.
  5. The employee gets notified in ZenHR once the request is approved, which is simple, fast, and fully digital.

That’s it. No external links. No extra apps. No forms to print or scan. Just a seamless, stress-free rental experience, right from inside ZenHR.
