Can I sublet my rented apartment as a holiday home in Dubai?
Only with your landlord's prior written consent — under Dubai tenancy law (Article 24, Law 26/2007) subletting without written approval is illegal. Even with consent you still need a DET holiday home permit and the building NOC. Listing a rented flat short-term without both breaches Dubai's tourism and tenancy rules.
Rules and eligibility criteria change — confirm the current position with the relevant authority before acting. This is general information, not legal advice.
