Landlords have the right to evict tenants who sublet without permission, especially if the premises are used for purposes that contravene public order or morals, as outlined in Article 25.
Recent initiatives by Dubai Municipality and other authorities have targeted the use of partitioned rooms, often used for shared living, citing safety concerns.
Residents interested in sharing their flats must ensure they do not reside in partitioned units and should obtain written confirmation from their landlord or property management. Compliance with these regulations is essential for a safe and legal living arrangement in the city.
