Should I address indoor dampness with my landlord?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a dampness in the corner of my living room that seemed to linger, even though it hadn't rained since. The AC unit also doesn’t seem to be drying things up as effectively as before. My landlord hasn’t mentioned anything about maintenance or repairs related to indoor air quality. Should I bring this up with them, or is it something they are responsible for maintaining in a rental property?

Absolutely, you should bring the issue of indoor dampness to your landlord's attention. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, maintaining a healthy and comfortable living environment is paramount due to the climate conditions. The UAE Building Code and Local Municipality regulations require landlords to ensure that rental properties are free from moisture-related issues which can lead to mold growth.
Dampness and ineffective functioning of AC units could indicate underlying problems like poor ventilation or potential leaks in your property. It's quite common for humidity levels to increase after rain, especially if the environment is not properly ventilated or dehumidified. However, if these conditions persist without any noticeable change in weather, it might be an indicator that there’s a deeper issue. Given the importance of indoor air quality and considering the specific climate challenges faced here, I'd recommend having your space inspected by professionals who can assess the situation accurately. They can also provide recommendations for remediation or preventive measures to ensure long-term comfort and safety. If you're concerned about the situation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and advice tailored to your specific needs in Dubai. We can help you understand if it’s merely a temporary condition due to humidity changes or something more serious needing immediate attention. Remember, addressing such issues promptly not only improves the quality of air within your home but also prevents potential health problems associated with mold exposure. |
