Dubai extends shared housing rules to families seeking lower rents

Dubai Municipality announced on Wednesday that new shared housing rules will be extended to families in the emirate. The move follows the legalisation of shared accommodation, which some Dubai residents described as a huge sigh of relief and something they were eagerly looking forward to. The change is expected to help families eye lower rents by opening up shared living options. Full details of the amounts, deadlines and conditions attached to the rules were not included in the source text.
