Can a tenant let a relative stay in the house without the landlord’s permission?

Under Dubai’s tenancy law, a tenant may use the rented property only for the purpose agreed in the contract and cannot sublease or rent out any part of it without the landlord’s written consent; however, if a relative such as a cousin is staying temporarily and not changing the nature of occupancy, formal permission is generally not required, though longer stays should be checked against any specific clauses in the tenancy contract — have you ever hosted relatives in your rented home in Dubai, and were you asked by your landlord or building management to seek approval?
