Dubai Land Department Calls on Property Owners to Join Owners Committees

General


Dubai: The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), a subsidiary of Dubai Land Department, has extended an invitation to all property owners living in jointly owned properties to register for Owners Committees. This initiative is in accordance with the Jointly Owned Property Law in Dubai and is part of RERA’s ongoing efforts to enhance transparency and ensure the sustainability of properties in the emirate.



According to Emirates News Agency, the Owners Committees are instrumental in empowering property owners by fostering active involvement in managing residential communities. The initiative aims to improve the quality of life for residents, ensuring greater comfort and satisfaction. It aligns with Dubai’s forward-thinking vision to optimize the management of jointly owned properties while promoting transparency and accountability.



Mohammed Ali Al Badwawi, Acting CEO of RERA, highlighted that automating the registration process for Owners Committees seeks to streamline procedures and ensure seamless coordination between the committees and management companies. He emphasized the committees’ vital role in achieving real estate sustainability through reviewing budgets, prioritizing maintenance, and providing feedback on service plans. These committees not only facilitate property management but also promote values of collaboration and community engagement.



Mohammed Al Dah, Director of the Jointly Owned Properties Management Department at RERA, affirmed that the committees offer property owners the opportunity to actively participate in decision-making within their communities. He urged eligible property owners to register, stressing that these committees are fundamental to enhancing project management and residents’ well-being.



Property owners interested in joining must meet specific criteria, including residing in the property, holding a valid UAE ID, providing a certificate of good conduct from Dubai Police, and settling all outstanding service fees. Registration is open until 31st January 2025, with priority given to the first nine registrants. RERA will approve members, and committee announcements will be made in February.



RERA underscores that this initiative reflects its commitment to integrity and collaboration among real estate stakeholders. Owners Committees offer an excellent opportunity for property owners to contribute to building thriving and sustainable communities in line with Dubai’s ambitious vision. Property owners can register via DLD’s website or the Dubai REST app.
