• Why Did Dubai Regulate Short Term Rentals
• For years holiday home rentals fell under an
  ambiguous area of Dubais property and real
  estate market. During that time, anyone who had
  the inkling could put their property, even a room
  within their residence, up for short-term
  rental. This lack of regulation created several
  issues
• As this the popularity of this unregulated market
  grew, so did the problems and headaches.
  Internet scams increased with people receiving
  less than what was advertised, and no means of
  recourse when it happened.
• A number of property owners were not vetting
  their short-term tenants and it began to impact
  the long-term residents. As a result, many
  developers began to ban short-term rentals within
  their communities in response to the complaints
  they were receiving from those residents.
• The Dubai government through its DTCM (Dubai
  Tourism and Commerce Marketing) division has
  regulated the hotel industry. They have used that
  system of regulation to assist them in
  monitoring public safety. However, short-term
  rentals did not fall under the same terms of
  regulation as the hotels. This had created a
  small loophole that needed to be closed.

• With the award of Expo 2020, Dubai acknowledged
  the need to double their accommodations within
  the next 5 years to support the number of
  visitors anticipated.
• The government has taken a proactive role in
  addressing this dramatic influx of visitors, and
  bringing short-term rentals under the same
  regulatory structure as hotels plays an important
  role. By doing so, Dubai will accomplish the
  following
• By requiring that all properties are licensed, as
  well as the operators, the government can focus

• on delivering quality accommodations and service.
  These new laws help ensure that all properties
  available for short-term rental meet the DTCMs
  stringent criteria, and only licensed
  professionals are providing this service.
• Licensed operators are held accountable for
  delivering what was promised, and consumers have
  recourse, by filing a complaint with the DTCM, if
  that does not happen.
• Only operators with experience in short-term
  rentals and vetting customers will be licensed,
  and they will be held accountable for whom they
  rent property to.
• Public safety issues will be better managed and
  controlled through requiring short-term rental
  operators follow the same check-in procedures
  required in the hotel industry.
