Municipality charges

It has nothing to do with your apartment.   It has to do with your rental agreement.  Once it is registered with municipality, you will automatically have to pay 10% of monthly rent in the EWA bill.  If you change apartment then your previous landlord has to close the lease in municipality records.

@XTang so if I update the record in ems ID and on my cpr would I've to pay again ? The municipality charges ?

If you update the address on the CPR (forget EMS) via a new lease agreement, then yes.

If I don't update it is it fine ?

Yes you can leave it if you don't need to renew the CPR.

Thanks

I have similar issues, my tenant has left and I moved in myself to the flat,  but I still pay Municipality fees. How do I close that rental agreement?

Thanks

Approach municipality to update the status of the residence.

@XTang - should Bahraini tenants needs to 10% municipality charges as per monthly rent if they rent flat or villa?
