Kuwait Turns Off Power To Eleven Houses With Foreign Bachelors

 
 
 

The Public Relations Department of Kuwait Municipality confirmed that a recent inspection campaign was carried out by the Engineering Audit and Follow-up Department in Farwaniya Governorate. This campaign specifically targeted bachelor accommodations that were found to be in violation of municipal regulations.

As a result of the inspections, electricity was disconnected in 11 properties that were deemed non-compliant. The municipality had previously issued 13 warnings to these properties, indicating that action would be taken if violations were not rectified. The enforcement move aims to ensure public safety and housing regulation compliance.

  • Khaitan
  • Andalous
  • Omariya
  • Firdous

These regions were identified as having a significant number of bachelor accommodations, which often fail to meet residential safety standards set by the municipality.

The Municipality has reaffirmed its commitment to continuing regular inspections across all governorates in Kuwait. The goal is to ensure that residential units—especially bachelor accommodations—comply with health, safety, and zoning laws. The authorities have called on landlords to adhere strictly to housing regulations to avoid penalties such as disconnection of services or legal action.

This action is part of Kuwait’s broader initiative to regulate unlicensed and overcrowded housing units, which often lead to infrastructure strain and safety hazards. Similar efforts have been previously reported in other regions, showcasing the municipality’s ongoing dedication to improving residential living conditions.
