What is this service?
The collective housing licence is an official document issued by the municipality once a building is confirmed to meet the applicable health, technical and engineering requirements. It is mandated by the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing to regulate worker and staff accommodation inside cities and guarantee safe, healthy living conditions. ABAK prepares the drawings, carries out the technical inspection and files the application on Balady through to issuance.
Why do you need this service?
Compliance with municipal regulations, avoiding fines or closure of the premises.
A safe and healthy living environment for workers and residents.
Lets you use the building lawfully to accommodate workers, or lease it on a regulated basis.
Increases the property's investment value once officially licensed, and helps eliminate informal housing.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Service
What are the requirements for a collective (workers') housing licence?
The property must sit outside the zones where the activity is restricted, the building must meet the safety, ventilation, lighting and floor area requirements, and its engineering drawings must be approved and a technical inspection carried out before the application is filed on Balady.
Who issues the collective housing licence?
The municipality issues it electronically once the building is confirmed to meet the health, technical and engineering requirements, under the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing's framework for regulating worker and staff accommodation inside cities.
What documents are required?
The title deed, the building licence and the approved engineering drawings, together with the field survey and technical inspection of the building, plus authorisation of the engineering office to file and follow up the application through to issuance.
What happens if collective housing operates without a licence?
It exposes the facility to fines and closure orders and blocks any lawful use of the building to house workers or to lease it. A licence, by contrast, documents a safe living environment and raises the property's investment value.
