housing

Dubai has introduced a new law aimed at reducing overcrowding and congestion in shared housing across the emirate. The rules apply to shared accommodation in Dubai's neighbourhoods, and the emirate is revealing which areas are approved for shared housing. No further amounts, deadlines or conditions have been specified in the announcement.

Dubai Municipality's move to legalise shared accommodation has brought relief to residents in Dubai, who say they had been eagerly awaiting the news. The announcement came on Wednesday, and families are now covered by the new shared housing rules. Many residents hope the change will help bring down rents.
