Maximum 6 expat families can reside in one private residential house

A maximum of six non-Kuwaiti families are allowed to reside in one private residential house, provided the total number of residents in one house is not more than 35, which is the same condition applied for Kuwaiti citizens, reports Arab Times citing Al-Seyassah Arabic daily.

The daily, quoting Deputy Director General for Structural Planning at Kuwait Municipality and leader of the team in charge of evicting bachelors from family residential areas Eng. Ahmad Al-Manfouhi, reported that civil IDs will not be issued for non-Kuwaiti families without presenting the rent contract signed between the owner of the rented house and the family breadwinner who directly rents the house without any mediator, as well as an accredited document related to the realestate.

He revealed that all procedures have been taken to suspend issuance of civil IDs to bachelors living in private residential areas based on the Cabinet’s decision issued in this regard. Al-Manfouhi stressed that his team is keen about coordinating with the concerned authorities for dealing with this issue and taking all necessary procedures in line with the law. div> n me
