Abu Dhabi authorities are cracking down on violators of government housing rules, including those who illegally rent out these villas or set up shops at these properties, it was announced on Tuesday. The inspections will also cover abandoned houses across the emirate.
The Abu Dhabi Housing Authority (Adha) and the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) will be conducting a field survey campaign to tackle these housing violations.

Violators will be given a one-month grace period to address the offence and rectify their housing conditions, after which legal measures shall be taken, the authorities added.
Majid Abdullah Al Muhairi, acting executive director of the Housing Benefits Allocation Sector, called on programme beneficiaries to adhere all terms and conditions and help keep residential communities clean and tidy.
Government housing should not be utilised for purposes other than its intended use. For example, it is not allowed to rent out such properties or use them to open commercial outlets, the authorities said.
Residents are urged to report any violations they spot in their neighbourhoods, Al Muhairi said. Such reports can be filed through the Tamm application — via the “photograph and report” window.
Awareness drive
Beyond the crackdown, Adha will also be carrying out awareness campaigns to inform home owners of the different financing solutions they can avail of — from maintenance loans to demolition and reconstruction loans.
Fahad Al Shehhi, acting director of the General Appearance Department at the DMT, said: “Our cooperation with the Abu Dhabi Housing Authority reflects our commitment (to help) achieve the goals of the Abu Dhabi government in establishing integrated and sustainable residential communities that will enhance the quality of life in the emirate."
