Dubai Land Department Issued More Rules For Tenants And Homeowners Regarding Co-Occupants
The Dubai Land Department (DLD) issued a rule where all homeowners and tenants must register all cohabitants on an online platform if they will be staying for a month.
There is an 8-step process to complete the registration and it must be done through the Dubai REST app within the next two weeks.
The department released more information on the rule
Co-occupants can use the registration as a document of residence, but it cannot be used in place of a tenancy contract for government transactions. While registration of co-occupants is mandatory, the tenancy contract does not need to mention all their names
the DLD stated.
How to register:
- Open Dubai REST App and Login to the Application. Please register if you’re a new user.
- Choose your role as “Individual” and login with UAE PASS for quick access
- Authenticate yourself via UAE PASS Application
- From the Dashboard, select the property where you are a tenant
- Select Manage Co-occupants to proceed
- Select “Add More” to add Co-Occupants to the property where you are a tenant
- Enter the Emirates ID and Date of Birth of the Co-Occupant and select “Verify”.
- Add all members of the family who are living in that property. To remove a Co-occupant, select the delete icon and submit.
Once all the steps are complete, details of co-occupants will be automatically updated on tenancy contracts.
