Speaking to Al-Rai on the condition of anonymity, the source said that the campaign targets houses classified as ‘private accommodation’ which refer to villas and houses allocated to Kuwaiti nationals’ living. He did not mention ‘investment accommodation’ which is often used in municipality paperwork to refer to apartment buildings. The operations involve inspection campaigns that include entering houses to detect single expatriates who rent rooms created after in some cases a house would be separated into partitions. Minister of Housing Affairs Salem Al- Othaina ordered Kuwait Municipality Director Ahmad Al-Subaih to make sure that inspectors commit to the law during the campaigns, mainly with regards to finding evidence and giving homeowners sufficient periods of time to evacuate homes rented illegally.
