The DIFC Strata Title Law

The Strata Title Law (DIFC Law No. 5/2007) was enacted by the Ruler of Dubai in 2007 to establish a regime which would govern the subdivision and management of buildings with multiple owners in the DIFC and enable separate ownership interests to be created in individual apartments, offices, retail suites and other areas within these buildings with multiple owners under the DIFC Real Property Law, (DIFC Law No. 4/2007). The Strata Title Law has mandatory application to all buildings with multiple owners in the DIFC. These are buildings which have separate areas (defined in the law as ‘lots’) owned by different owners and areas and facilities (defined in law as ‘common property’) which are shared and owned collectively by the owners of the lots. As with the case of DIFC Law No. 4/2007 DIFC Real Property Law, the Strata Title Law borrows a number of its features from similar laws in New South Wales, Australia, and other jurisdictions where ‘strata’, ‘common-hold’ or ‘condominium’ laws are in operation.
