We share practical guides for Saudi tenants on managing annual rent payments, converting them into monthly installments after you choose your apartment, eligibility requirements, and Ejar contract registration. Dlight does not list or find apartments for you — you choose the unit yourself or through a broker, and our role begins after approval by converting your rent payment into monthly installments with a clear service fee.
