Can Dubai tenants let family stay? What law allows for relatives; what can cause legal trouble

Dubai tenants hosting relatives face specific rules. Short family visits are generally fine, but extended stays or co-residency require landlord permission. Article 24 of Dubai's tenancy law mandates written consent for subletting or significant occupancy changes. Ignoring these rules can lead to disputes and eviction. Always check your contract and inform your landlord.
