The details

Ajman began a pilot to regulate shared accommodation in five residential areas. The initiative is intended to improve occupancy standards, safety and neighbourhood conditions while clarifying responsibilities for owners, operators and residents.

A regulated approach can affect occupancy, room use, safety facilities and the responsibilities of owners, operators and residents. It may also change what information a tenant needs before signing or renewing a shared-housing arrangement.

The pilot is limited to five residential areas, so requirements may differ by location and property type. Owners, operators and tenants should check the municipality guidance for permits, occupancy limits, safety requirements and compliance dates before relying on an arrangement.
