Re-watching "Forget Me Lots."
Iago says "I won't miss visiting the palace!" This is a really early episode (and we thank it for elongating the time line  )... which implies that Aladdin doesn't live in the palace.

Is it possible that maybe Aladdin was living there but Iago was not? Because, in retrospect, the line right before that, where Rasoul says Aladdin's "back in the gutter where he belongs" sounds like he was living there... My head hurts.
In "Some Enchanted Genie" they were probably in the hovel, right after that is "The Vapor Chase" where they definitely were, next is "The Day the Bird Stood Still", in which living in the hovel is a big part of the plot. Kind of strange how they were vague about where he was living for over a year (in story) but all of a sudden there are a bunch of episodes where he's explicitly living in the hovel? Maybe they originally wanted him to live in the palace but the censors wouldn't accept it, so they just had to avoid all references to it? And at a certain point they just said, "screw it! We'll just put him back in the hovel!"

That's probably it.
I think someone (in, um, some interview) said they didn't want Aladdin/Jasmine to be married because it limited them... maybe this stemmed from the same issue? It separated Aladdin/Jasmine a bit, allowed more exploration in the relationship without a marriage being involved (I think the perception of Sadira would have been different had she been trying to remove a wife, rather than a girlfriend.. if she even would have gone that far. It's a different level...), and changed the dynamic.
