Need advice: Damac Hills 2 → DMCC daily commute nightmare (or how to legally sublet?)
I signed a year lease in Damac Hills 2 in december (paid upfront like an idiot) but now need to be at DMCC daily starting next month. No car, no license yet, and taxi quotes are 110+ AED ONE WAY.
That's 220+ AED DAILY just for commute. Over 4.5K per month on transport alone!
My Ejari contract says: "tenant is not allowed to sublease the premises or any part thereof to third party in whole or in part unless it is legally permitted."
Two questions:
- What's the legal process to get subletting permission in Dubai? Anyone done this successfully?
- Any cheaper transport options from Damac Hills 2 to DMCC? (No, I can't drive yet)
I'm 20, first time renting in Dubai, and already feeling like I made a 40k AED mistake. Any advice from veterans appreciated.
ps: i moved there cuz i used to work remotely all the time, i planned to get a license and a car but license doesn’t seem that easy to get
