Document background
The Free Lodger Agreement is commonly used in the UAE when a property owner wishes to provide accommodation to another person without charging rent, often in situations involving family members, friends, or employees. This document is essential for clearly defining the arrangement's terms while complying with UAE property and residency laws. The agreement typically includes details about the living space, duration of stay, house rules, shared facilities, and termination procedures. While the arrangement is gratuitous, the formal documentation helps prevent future disputes and ensures both parties understand their rights and obligations. The agreement must align with UAE civil law, local property regulations, and immigration requirements, particularly in cases involving non-UAE residents.
