Should I remind my landlord about cleaning ceiling vents?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a layer of dust collecting in my bedroom’s ceiling vents. My landlord usually handles all maintenance, but he hasn't mentioned anything about cleaning the ducts since we moved in two years ago. Should I bring this up or is it typically something the landlord should take care of?

Absolutely, it's wise to bring up the issue of duct cleaning with your landlord. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, dust storms are common, and they can lead to a buildup of particulates within the ventilation system. This isn't just an aesthetic concern; it could affect air quality, which is especially important in modern buildings that often rely on controlled HVAC systems.
UAE regulations do not specifically mandate how frequently ducts must be cleaned, but as per best practices and local environmental guidelines, it's recommended to have your ductwork inspected every 3-5 years. However, if you notice a significant increase in dust or other contaminants, such as mold, a professional inspection should be carried out. In Dubai, the Emirate has stringent building codes concerning indoor air quality and maintenance of HVAC systems. Given that you've noticed dust accumulating over two years, it's prudent to mention this to your landlord. If he doesn't address it promptly, consider reaching out to an independent professional service for a thorough inspection.
