'Bachelors' living in 'family' areas told to leave

The Dubai Municipality is effectively executing the law of categorizing areas and lands in the emirate of Dubai in order to move the bachelors from residential areas and prevent sharing family accommodations aiming to preserve the residential environment and social safety and tranquility.

Yusuf Abdullah Al Marzouqi, Acting Director of Buildings Department, said that the civic body has cracked down many places after field visits in several residential areas in the emirate of Dubai as many bachelors found staying in residential areas designated for families. The municipality has disconnected electricity and water of violating buildings after the deadline.

Urging the public to cooperate with the civic body, Marzouqi said it has been noticed that some owners are still leasing rooms to bachelors in areas allocated for families.

“The municipality will take necessary action in case of receiving any complaint from families regarding the presence of bachelors in these areas,” he said.

He also warned the families who share their apartments violating the rules and regulations which will adversely affect the social safety and harmony of the country.

“All violations will be handled based on the Local Order No. 3 of 1999 regarding the regulation of buildings in the emirate of Dubai,” he added.
